It seems the blogging craze is catching on - even horses have hooves to keyboards these days ...

Saratoga Horses Notes is a blog that follows Elliott & Cathy Masie's Horses during a summer of racing in Saratoga.

Big deal? Well, this isn't written from the perspective of the OWNERS - this is from the perspective of the HORSES:

"I lost. I didn't just lose, I came in last. I was saving my energy for the last half of the race, and the race was...over. I wasn't tired at all, and I could've gone alot further...I really had every intention of passing those other horses. I think I looked pretty, anyway, which is important to a filly, and I threw an absolute fit when I found out I was running on the dirt again. (I look really good against green, and I DO think I'm at my best surrounded by grass.)

My jockey was great, but I got the sense that Stephanie and Morris and Wendy were not pleased with me- they all huddled with Barclay after I lost, and Wendy isn't here today with carrots. Hmmm. I'm going to discuss this with Funny Cide....I wish Matzoh Toga was around, I think he'd know whether there is a correlation between carrots and winning.... A horse like me doesn't apologize for much, but if you lost money on me yesterday...I'm sorry. H.M."

It's certainly a novel approach to writing, marketing, and also to blogging. Damn clever, in my humble opinion.
