Bet on the Bloke!

Hello Readers,
The constant explosion around America seem to assists de Chinese made fireworks a pleasent time for most Americans and immigrants alike.
Not me I much prefer the New Years Celebrations and the many fiestas that float throughout the year.
Speaking of floating dis Blokey (Old English-Brit term for wrangler) is'a headed across de ocean to my British and European readers.
In Liverpool in the late 1800's the most popular day for races was on Saturday wen factory workers, wit a half holiday an full pay envelope crowded through the gates ready to bet their hard-earned cash on de American Cowboy Bloke from America,
To keep with advertised agreements Ava Wright had to change mounts 80 times in a single 20-mile race against a cyclists.
Buffalo Bill and Carver Wild West shows had everything..this was just one event around a half-mile track.
How grewsome-the torment of mount a aw dimounting!!
So Bet the Bloke, who'a riding with only one western saddle..meaning much of the rid'n tis done bareback..
Racing... Yes it is indeed de Sport of Kings..hummm

One thing for certain Ava Wright may not have won too many races but he did bring back one special thing on da steamboat back to America. That was his beautiful English lady to plant Roots in the southwest "Rosebud" America!
Toot toot...Keeping the Old West Alive!! :)
