It didn’t keep me - watched a few episodes, but the fake race calling got me. Nice horses though.
I enjoyed it but got annoyed with the fake race calls.
I just want to know does Chantal shop for her clothes at The Disney store? I certainly respect her riding ability, but I am dumbfounded at her strange outfits, ponytails, and pink eyeshadow. Anyone???

The pigtails drove me crazy! :lol:

:lol: Every episode I found myself pondering where in the world she got those horrible outfits … the necklace with the pink bows, that silver poof jacket; it was bizarre.
She is a really nice girl
It’s odd though, because a few of the times she’s gone out to dinner in stylish dresses and looked great. So why the Jekyll and Hyde?

Now I feel bad, I really do like her and I’m sure she is great. I just think she needs to be on an episode of What Not to Wear.
LOL… She’s from Toronto… that’s the excuse for the wardrobe issues:)

:yes: It’s fun to tease, but at the end of the day she really does dress with more style than most horse woman that would walk around in a burlap bag if it let them get done their barn work more efficiently! (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)

Will I watch the second season? Sure, if only to see Zenyatta some more :D[/QUOTE]
She is a gorgeous mare, but I laughed out loud at her ‘crab walk’ as she left the saddling area before the race in last week’s episode. She walked just like Brentina did at the Olympics, with the odd reaching of the hind legs. IIRC they said she does that when she’s excited. Maybe it’s mare thing?

LOL! True that!!
Not always time to pretty up! I can often be seen with a stinky pooh stained knee or poultice or Kopertox on my face… no matter how hard I try to stay clean…
When does season two start?
I went to Oaklawn (in Arkansas) this weekend. My mom was visiting me on vacation and Friday night I made her watch Jockeys with me. Then on Saturday it was really exciting to be there and actually see Jon Court ride in person, although he only had one winning ride, I bet a few people were betting on him just because of the show (my mom was). A real live celebrity!
The big race was the Rebel. It was really awesome to be there with all the triple crown nominees. I had a bet on the winner Win Willy and it paid $11. I was wishing I had bet to win because the take home on a $2 bet was $115! Everyone bet on Old Fashioned since he was on the news all week, but the longshot pulled it off. Really exciting day and makes me want to go back for the Arkansas Derby.
I saw the TV crew down last weekend at Los Alamitos filming a 4 1/2 FL claiming race that Kayla Straw rode in. I’ll be watching the next season.

I watched the race. She got outridden - those 4 1/2 dashes are a completely different type of race than 5 1/2 at Santa Anita.
outridden at Los Al. There’s something to add to a resume!

Those jocks down there - for that type of racing - are really good ! I’ll bet others at SA would have the same fate as Kayla. She just didn’t urge her horse enough and was sititng chilly as if she had 1/4 mile to make up the ground in the stretch.
Many of those riders have tried SA and remain at Los Al on purpose. The distinct standout who is able to cross over is Agapito Delgadio. Other than that, they do try and they all stay with the mixed breeds or individual breeds at Los Al. Nothing wrong with recognizing one’s “home” and limitation. Kayla ought to follow suit.

Seems like a sweet girl, but I really have to agree with you. Or even better, if she would veture out to the East Coast, I’d bet she’d do a bit better.
