This was in Aiken, SC, which still is a winter training site for Thoroughbreds.

Most of the "Breezers" (a term used when the horse is asked to run a full speed during training) or riders/jockeys were women: Some were stupidly hot and fit.

So hot woman and all the intrigue: Check

The cast of characters in the "Shed Row" is amazing: Rich owners, trainers, grooms, hot walkers, the lot. Even the track kitchen had a flavor and realness (everybody ate there) that is hard to beat. I found it a real hoot. I still eat there if I am in Aiken during the winter.

Lastly, the horses: I track one from the first show, through training (at the gate, on the track, the down days) through to the first real race and beyond.

To recap: Hot women, horses, the entire breadth of rich and poor plus action (there is a lot of mayhem during training).

I'd call it "Shed Row"

All yours, Vinnie

BTW, I'm home with a cold, so I have time.
This seems like a great idea!
And far enough from the BTDT that it would stand out.
