点评:This huge and historic farm is truly the shrine of thoroughbreds. Ten Kentucky Derby winners were foaled here, and six of the 13 Triple Crown winners were sired by Claiborne stallions.
We were given our tour by a full-time employee who participates in every phase of the operations. He had in-depth knowledge and personal tales about the farm, including informative, funny, even some harrowing episodes.
We learned how things from insemination (which is not simple) to workouts are handled. We saw where Secretariat and his daddy Bold Ruler had both been stalled.
The cemetery includes the modest grave of Secretariat, along with those of many more champions. This place is bound to affect anyone who saw these beautiful animals in action.
But interacting with the present stable of stallions is pure joy. Every animal has a distinct personality when you give them mints and hugs. Some are playful or shy or real performers when they want more attention. These are winners, champions and sires of champions. It is a pleasure to be in their company. This tour is terrific.
翻译:这个巨大而历史悠久的农场确实是纯种马的圣地。10 匹肯塔基赛马会冠军马在这里出生,13 匹三冠马中有 6 匹是克莱伯恩种马的后代。
一位全职员工带我们参观了农场,他参与了农场运营的每个阶段。他对农场有着深入的了解,并讲述了许多个人故事,包括信息丰富、有趣甚至令人痛心的事件。
我们了解了从授精(这并不简单)到锻炼的过程。我们看到了 Secretariat 和他的爸爸 Bold Ruler 都被困在了哪里。
墓地里有 Secretariat 的简朴坟墓,以及许多其他冠军的坟墓。这个地方一定会影响任何看到这些美丽动物行动的人。
但与现在的种马互动是一种纯粹的快乐。当你给它们薄荷糖和拥抱时,每只动物都有独特的个性。有些动物很顽皮,有些很害羞,有些动物在需要更多关注时会变得非常活跃。这些都是获胜者、冠军和冠军的父亲。很高兴能与他们同行。这次旅行太棒了。
