Horse’s Head full of notions

The Kentucky Derby impressed Las Vegas horse, Fiberglass so much that he’s committed to a run for the roses. Fiberglass is acutely aware that being a famed thoroughbred in Las Vegas can have its headaches. He well remembers Jack Woltz’s prized steed Khartoum, who met an untidy end in a king size bed. Still, the glamour and competition and pageantry of the Derby have captivated the equine daydreamer. Fancy hats and frosty Mint Juleps are alluring- not to mention the winner’s showy garland made of 400 red roses, and an 18-karat gold trophy. A gilded yearning coupled with Silver State wagering prompts Fiberglass to voice a hearty win-win whinny.

Fiberglass will launch a rigorous pre-race training regime: eat right, lots of galloping, less neighing and more positivity. Head shots are going out to the winningest jockeys and trainers; with time spent poring over flashy racing silks look-books. Sponsorship is key, thus Fiberglass is pursuing money people to pony up. All of this is heady and exciting stuff!

Meanwhile, Fiberglass is slogging through the scads of paperwork owed to Churchill Downs. But he won’t be mired in red tape furlong. Fiberglass vows to be in the running, quite literally, next May. Horseshoes for luck, Fiberglass, may you sashay squarely into the Winner’s Circle.
