I think everyone who follows the sport or just loves horses has their "one", the one horse that you follow religiously. Perhaps there are a few? I'm interested to hear who yours is? Mine? Wind of Bospherous. I met Wind in 2013 at Pimlico Race Course. A former part time employee for MD Jockey Club, I became good friends with Doug O'Neill and several of the members of Team O'Neill (anyone who knows Doug knows it's very hard not to like him). Doug shipped in several horses for Preakness week (Goldencents being his star) including Richards Kid, Handsome Mike and Birdlover. I asked Doug if I could walk down the shed row and see the horses, of course his reply was "absolutely, you don't have to ask...knock yourself out!" Richards Kid and Handsome Mike are notoriously nasty and love to bite so I said my hellos and moved on

Goldie (Goldencents) as a play biter but enjoyed the company. Wind was about 7 horses down the row and stuck his gorgeous head out of the stall to say hello. A average size horse, about 15.3 and as mellow as possible I spent the next 2 hours talking to and rubbing on him. I feel like I gave a piece of myself to that horse and he, in turn, did the same. He literally placed his head into my chest and fell asleep. I went to work 3 hours early every morning that week just to watch Kevin Krigger (whom i've also become close with) work him.
Soon after Maryland they moved onto NY (Belmont) where Doug lost him in a claimer and he's been riding the claiming races every since. I follow him every single day and keep in contact with all of his new trainers/owners. He is my "one" that I hope to one day own when he retires (he's a gelding).
So, who's your one?
