This is The Sad Story Of A very Famous Race Horse..Who Never Won The Most Important Races Of his Career
"Alydar" Was Chestnut Colt Who Made it To The "Kentucky Derby".."The Preakness"..And "The Belmont Stakes" Back In 1978
It Was "Alydar" Who Finished 2nd To "Affirmed" In The Kentucky Derby By A Length And A Half
It Was "Alydar" Who Finished 2nd To" Affirmed " In The "Preakness"..This Time By A Neck.(In A Longer Race)
And In The Longest Race Of The Three..It Was "Alydar" Who Finished 2nd Once Again To "Affirmed"..This Time Only By A Head
Alydar Gave All He Had In Those Races...And For That He Will Always Be Remembered As The Best Race Horse There Ever Was Who Never Won Any Of The Most Important Races
The 3rd Race Is A Classic..One of The Most Thrilling Horse Races In History
And What Did "Alydar" Get Out Of It For All he Did?
On Nov 13th 1990.."Alydar" Was (Found) In His Stall With A Broken Leg
They Attemted Surgery..But To No Avail
"Alydar Was Put To Sleep On The 15th Of Nov 1990
To Make This Story Short..In The Late 1990s.There was An Investigation And Eventually A Trial
Seems The owners Were In Dire Straits For money
And With That..It All Came Out
In The End The Sad Ending Was
While "Alydar" Was In His Stall..a Rope Was tied to His Leg That Was Attached To A Truck..They took off An snapped "Alydars" Leg
They Did it For The Insurance Money
As Harold Kipp(The night Watchman) Said in Court.."5 Days before That fateful Tuesday..He was told to Take The 13th Off(The day The Leg Was Broken)
John Lundy Was Convicted Of Fraud And served 4 Years in Prison
Gary Matthews Was Convicted Also And Served 21 Months In Prison

"Alydar" Was A Great Race Horse And Didnt Deserve What They Did to Him.... "Alydar" Was Murdered...And All For greed And For money..Plain And Simple

"Alydar" Lost The "Kentucky Derby".."The Preakness" And "The Belmont Stakes" By Less Than 2 Lengths Combined For All 3 Races

He May Have been 2nd Each Time
"But "Alydar" Tried Harder And Will Always be Remembered As The Greatest 2nd Place Horse In History

(If I Knew How To Put Those 3 Races Up Here..I Would)..But I Dont Know How)..If Someone Could..It Would be Appreciated..

Rest In Peace "Alydar"..You Were A Great Horse..........

Like A Boss

It Is Truly Sad What I Must present Here..But The facts Are The Facts....We All Wanted everything To be Real..But Alas...It isnt Always Quite What We Thought it Was..And This is The Sad Truth
1)"Sir Gallahad"..Who Was of King Arthurs Round Table
"He Was renowned For His Gallantry"
"He Was Only One of Three That Wanted To Search For The Holy Grail"
(But Alas..He Was A Thought from Someones Imagination)Or Was He?
2)"Don Quixote".."Thought Of himself As being Gallant And A Brave Knight".."Yet He Wears Outdated Old Armor".."And He Rides A Skinny Horse"

He is Most Famous For Fighting "Windmills" Which He believes To Be "Terrible Creatures"..(Fighting Windmills?)
3)And of Course ..The Most Famous of Them All
"Sir Lancelot".."Another Of The Knights of The "Round Table"
"He Is The Leading Knight Of The Round Table"
"He Is The Figure Of Bravery And Chivalry"
"And Famous For His Affairs With "King Arthurs Wife"..Guinevere"
(I Can Now Understand That Sir Lancelot Wasnt real Either)
Messin Around With The Kings Wife?...."That Wouldve Made Him A Part of history Even Faster

But Id Like To Believe That Maybe..Just Maybe..Some Of These Knights Really did Exist
After All...The Chances Are Its Possible That "Robin Hood" Existed

But
"Richard The Lionheart" Was Real...."He Was The The First King That Also Was A Knight"...1157..1195
"William Wallace"..A Scottish Knight...Famous For his Victory at "The Battle Of Sterling Bridge"(Where he Was Vastly Outnumbered)
And Then His Defeat At Falkirk(A year Later)

And The battle of Wits Continues As To Whether "King Arthur" Really did Exist At All Around The 5th or 6th Centuries

"Sir Godfrey of Bouillon".."A Knight Who Played An Important Role During The 1st Crusades"
His sword Is Still On Display At The "Church Of The Holy Sepulchre"In Jerusalem

"I Would Want To Believe That All Thats Here Is Real"
Maybe "Sir Gallahad" And "Sir Lancelot" Were Real..(Based On Other People..Who Knows For Sure?)............

I hope you all get lots of spoilings and showered with love.. just because GOOD dads are AWESOME!

Everyone deserves to have a wonderful father to look up to .. and all wonderful fathers should be recognised for the goodness that they have given to their children.

We all know that this is the case of a loving dad...

"It Is The Year 1155...And All of The Knights In King Arthurs Kingdom Have Gathered For "The Leaving"
Before "The Leaving" Begins A Knight Says These Words To His Lady
"My Task Is Set Before Me My Lady"
"My Mission I Must See It Through"
"When Done With Black Knights And Those Dragons My Lady"
"Its Then When Ill Get Back To You"
"For In The Combat Of Wisdom And Feelings"
"Our Wisdom Will Never Prevail"
"Alas My Lady A Return Might Not Be"
"Where I Have Fallen Is Where I Will Fail"

"And Those Knights Raised Up Their Swords And Their Shields"
Took The Oath To Their King.."To No One We Yield!"
"And With One Voice In Unison The Cried Out So Loud"
"For Kingdom! And Future! We Fight On So Proud!"

"And Then The Final Oath To Their King"

"We Shall Ride Into The Shadow Of Death"
"Placing Our Destiny Within The Hand Of Our Lord"
"For Him..For Country..For Family!"
"For The Defense.. The Well Being of Others"
"For Our Children Who Are yet To Be Born!"
"To Pray For The Courage To Encourage Others!"
"To Pray For The Forgiveness Of Them All!"
"For If This Be Our Last Moments"
"Then Our Finest Moment Indeed!!"
"Long Live Our Kingdom!!".."Long Live Our Future Generations!!"
"And Long Live Our King!!!"
(And All Of The Ladies Were Sad As)
(They Cried For Their Knights..Way before The Fight)
(As They Gallop Away Until Out of Site)
(Holding Up Their Swords And Their Shiny Shields)
"To No Beast And No Man Will These Gallant Knights Yield"
(And Sadly She Knew)
"For She Could Not be Repaid".."By Taking Her As A Wife"
"Her Champion..Her Knight".."Shall Succumb".."The Long Knife"

"And The "Lady Isabelle"..Shed A Silent Sad Tear"
"A Knight Not To Return"..Was Her Biggest Fear"

"All That Was left To Know".."And All Was Left To See"
"The Thousand Rode Up.. And Over The Hills"..."And Into Eternity"

(Always Remembering You "Simmo")

That is of-course if it hasn't been asked already, which I am sure it has been perhaps even in the form of a heated debate over many a Bar or lounge room table !

"Should Pole dancing be an Olympic event ?"

I mean obviously the women who partake in such a past-time or profession have to have a vigorous training programme and I would presume a healthy diet and lifestyle to attain such eye popping skills as they display their prowess on the stage.

To me these women display the same amount of grace and beauty on a bar that you would see in a ballerina on the world stage or a world class gymnasts doing floor exercise for a gold medal. And what's to say the woman on the bar has not gotten back up from as many falls or recovered from as many faltering staggers as her classically trained counter parts.

8)Did you Know That Bats Eat At Least 1200 Insects In An Hour?(What Would It be Like if There Were No Bats?)
9)And If I Take A Picture of Myself..I Will Say .."I Took A Picture Of Myself"..Not "I Took A Selfie"..(Sick Way of Talking)
10)Even Columbus Records In His Writings That A UFO Came out of The Water And Took Off Into The Sky
11)Today The "Yo Yo" Is A Toy..(But In Its Beginning It was Used As A Weapon)
12)Do We Really need To Have A Warning On LawnMowers That Reads.."Do Not Stick Hands In here When Power Mower Is On?"
13)"You Would If You Could".."But If You Couldnt..How Could You?"
