First off, I am so sorry!!! After I came home from the Kentucky derby, I was getting ready for the Preakness stakes.
The Derby this year was a year to remember, My mom and I traveled down to Churchill downs April 30th at 7AM.
We arrived at Churchill downs after a few stops, around 2. I was so happy to be back at my home away from home.
We parked our car and let the adventure begin!
The first barn I went to was Dallas Stewart's to go visit Golden Soul, He was very happy to receive peppermints from me and kisses.

After going to Dallas Stewart's barn, I went to Bob Baffert's barn to see my best friend for the first time in a year, I was so happy to give my best friend the biggest hug and get to talk to him for a while, I got to see my relative also, I was beyond happy getting to see him again for the first time since November.
Here I am with my best friend Jorge, or known as Georgie

After being at Bob Baffert's barn for a while, I went to Brett Calhoun's barn to visit Promise Me Silver. She is an amazing filly, Super sweet. I gave her so many kisses and a big good luck talk, She would go on to win the Eight Belles The next day over Callback.
After loving on Promsie Me Silver, I went off to the frontside to watch and cheer on my friends horse!
She won her race and you know where I was, That's right, The Winner circle! :)

We left the track around 6 and off to my friends house to go eat dinner and sleep!
Packed the car and off to sleep I went!
I set four alarm clocks for 4AM. They all went off at once, I jumped out of bed, I got my camera ready, I got dressed, put my dress on, Took a selfie, Put my hat on, and Off to Churchill we went!
We were going to get there by 5:30AM but a car wreck we got stuck behind and set our time back to 6:15AM instead. Georgie told me the day before one of my love's Gimme Da Lute was going to be galloping at 6:15AM, We made it just in time to see one of my love's gallop, He was racing the next day in the Pat Day Mile.

after watching workouts until the sun came up, Upstart came out to stretch his legs! He looked awesome.
After watching workouts It was time for an adventure! We went to the track kitchen to see what was going on there, Met up with a very good friend of mine, Jose from Peru and walked back to our tent to introduce him to my freinds.
When we got to the tent, they were on the news! So my friend grabbed my arm and i was on the news also! The news person asked me about my Necklace that said Midnight Hawk, why i love derby weekend, my oaks and derby horses, and a few other things.
Then we decided to go to the Fronstide, and off my mom and I we went! I took a selfie with Joel Rosario

After being on the frontside for a little while, my mom and I went back to the backside!. I saw Todd Pletcher and I said Todd, May I take a selfie with you and he said of course!
My friend who rides the most awesome track pony Dynamike, needed to go grab something from his car and asked if I would hold Dynamike i said of course so i was holding my buddy Dynamike for a little while.
Taking pictures of the races, I went into the final turn to take pictures of the Alysheba Stakes. I took the Alysheba photos from a picnic table lol
After that it was almost time for the Eight Belles Stakes.
After going from the backside to the frontside, I went by the winner circle rail and Here they come, Promise Me Silver looked amazing. After they got in the starting gates and around the final turn I saw Promise Me Silver in the lead and she crossed the wire first.

After the Eight Belles it was time for the main race of the whole day, The Kentucky Oaks!
I was all excited to see my oaks horse again BirdAtTheWire, I saw her race in November and fell in love with her. She was my pick from day one, She didn't win but it's okay.
