A great horserace

 Meet Vyvyanne


A few months ago my brother-in-law, Richard, and a couple of friends bought this race horse!  She is two years old and her father made more than a million dollars in eight years racing.  They went to Florida to see her.  It's not easy to name a horse as the name must be original.  I have no idea how they came up with Vyvyanne, but we call her "Annie". 

This summer the female trainer moved her to Woodbine Race Track in Toronto!  Today was her first race!  We went to The Derby where they show North American race tracks!

For her first race, she did great!  She came third!   I bet $10.00 to "Show" and won $39.00!
