Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 14, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ed and Lou work for the Maryland Jockey Club as assistant starters, but they do so much more. I first met them during the summer meet at Colonial Downs. I would see them in the wee morning hours walking hots–then again in the afternoon loading scared maidens into the gate or talking to a jock about how they wanted a certain horse’s stance. Long after the last race ended I would see them again, cleaning and re-bedding the stalls in the receiving barn for the next days occupants. Always with a smile on their faces. They were always working, some job or another, but smiling, laughing, having a good time–not once burdened by “the grind.” Ready with a high five and a “how’s it going?” Ed & Lou make the backside that much brighter every day. –Anonymous Submission View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
