Two Rivers Park

We Geezers walked through Two Rivers Park this morning for 1:16:14.

PARAGRAPH OF THE DAY
Moquett sat in his second-floor office before daybreak with wife Laura, son Chance, friend Brian “Big Show” Nichols, and Greta Kuntweiler, a retired jockey who has served this season as Whitmore’s exercise rider. There was no talk of the Derby and no mention of Whitmore. The warm room was instead filled with laughter from the sort of teasing common among people who like and love each other and a litany of multicolored stories centered on veteran trainer Bernie Flint, a wisecracking regular at Oaklawn through the mid-1990s. Attention was briefly gathered by a year-old yellow cat named Red Box, but as dawn began to spill across the barns, Moquett watched outside as grooms bathed Whitmore with garden hoses and a bucket filled with generic dish detergent and water. Moquett said it had nothing to do with his gelding’s appearance for Oaklawn’s big day. “I just do it because I think it relaxes him,” he said.
