A neat story, about horses.

As I've said many times I'm a horse person, love working with horses, watching thoroughbred racing ect. Well a breeding farm I have worked on was the leading breeder in NY for a few years. So it was pretty cool to have been a part of that. Now a local lumber yard owner who lives in my town, about 8 miles from me has a horse entered in the Kentucky Derby! So that was pretty neat that our little town has a owner with a derby entry, boy if I only bred my mare years ago, maybe that could have been me? Lol, hahahah

I grew up in Ocala, Florida. Lots of horse farms there. Back in the 50's Ocala Stud had a sickly horse born. The owner of the farm said to shoot the horse. His employees led the owner to believe they shot the colt. They then brought the vet out a lot of times which resulted in the colt getting lots of shots. The horse was named Needles. Needles won the 1956 Kentucky Derby. A movie was made of the horse but I can't find it.
