It seems that no matter where you go to the horse race, the “hat” is in!

The World Cup at Dubai

The Melbourne Cup in Austrailia

Royal Ascot in Ascot, England

Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Belmont Stakes in Belmont, NY

The Preakness in Baltimore, Maryland 

 

The Preakness takes place at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland each year. The race is the second part of the Triple Crown Series and is highly anticipated as viewers watch the winner of the Kentucky Derby to see if he will make it one step closer to sweeping all three races – a rare occurrence. The Preakness isn’t just about the race, however. Pre-race activities include the Miss Preakness Contest and the Preakness Portrait Art Contest. Visitors to the race grounds love to picnic and party – both before and after the race itself! Unlike the roses at the Kentucky Derby, the flower of choice of the Preakness Stakes is theBlack Eyed Susan Daisy. (ratestogo.com/blog/9-top-horse-races-around-the-world/)

The Belmont Stakes are held at Belmont Park in Belmont, NY each year. The Belmont Stakes Race is the last race in the triple-crown series. The Belmont Stakes has run for 140 years. The race is highly anticipated each year and has been the focus of careful attention. Over the past few decades, 15 horses have attempted to win the Belmont Stakes after winning both the Preakness and the Derby. In 140 years, only 11 horses have actually won the coveted Triple Crown! As a side note, the Belmont Park does not raise its admission prices for the Belmont Stakes, making this an event that anyone can attend. (ratestogo.com/blog/9-top-horse-races-around-the-world/)

Spirit of Secretariat Derby Hat designed by East Angel Harbor Hats

I’ve always loved horses and horse racing. When I was a girl, I had my own horse and his name was Prince!

He was very gentle horse, he was fun in so many ways:  if he heard thunder or saw lightening, he would go get the cows in the barn without a word from me or my dad.  He knew how to open the D handle on the hay loft (one end of the barn was ground level).  I liked to sleep in the barn’s hayloft and I would hear him snorting and munching just a few feet from where I slept. He also knew how to turn on the water at the water trough and run the well dry.  I loved him no matter what he did…although he’d get a pretty good scolding from my dad; Prince would hang his head and look sorrowful the entire scolding.  I knew it was all for show and that first opportunity he’d do it again.

I never used a saddle and we lived in the mountains of NE Washington state where it was either up hill or down hill to where you were going on horseback.  When I would slide off, he’d find the nearest place that I could stand on so I could climb back up.  Prince was 16 hands high and I was 4’11″ tall…needless to say I needed a stump or a fence post to climb up in order to get back on him.  He never left me behind…
