Here's My Race Horse: White Balance

[Legerd]

A co-worker and I got together with some other folks to form a syndicate this year. We were able to buy 25% of a beautiful two year old gelding from Florida, whose pedigree includes such champions as Northern Dancer and Secretariat. We got to name him, and since I'm doing a show around how to form a syndicate, my boss suggested we call him something to do with TV. With him being a gray (almost white) we called him White Balance.

Beautiful gelding, Legerd.... sooo, which quarter do you own??

[Legerd]

What a beautiful horse!

Thanks. His groom tells everyone he's her boyfriend and visits him all the time.

Oh, he's a race horse.

Beautiful gelding, Legerd.... sooo, which quarter do you own??

The winning one I hope. (okay, that was a lame joke I admit it)

Not a jockey, first time owner. Though you'd be surprised how many people ask me that.

White Balance will be racing in Toronto at the Woodbine Racetrack, and maybe down in Florida in the winter. Florida depends on what the trainer wants to do.

Never been to Florida, too hot.

[Trewqp]

well if you ever do decide to come down to florida let me know, me and family love race horses,

Naw, that's just the light reflecting, like how we get red-eye with flash photography.

[Trewqp]

awww, but still a pretty horse anyways, so have you guys raced yet?

[Legerd]

Not yet, White Balance is still being trained. He will be going up against another two year old next week, in a head-to-head training workout to see how he handles competition.

[Trewqp]

well good luck, and keep me informed on how that competition goes!
