Reckless Memorial Stakes.\u00a0 This event will be contested at a mile and an eighth over what promises to be a firm turf course,\u00a0 as the local weather forecasts see clear skies through Sunday.\u00a0 The international field of ten older fillies and mares and a lone three year old filly,\u00a0 representing four continents,\u00a0 will battle for the winner&#8217;s share of the $500,000 purse and for the right to star in the trophy presentation following the race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> was able to get some information from one of this stakes sponsors,\u00a0 emmyrhys,\u00a0 to find out what the event is all about.\u00a0\u00a0 As Emmy tells it,\u00a0 in her inimitable way, <\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&#8220;My dad fought in Korea.\u00a0 So I heard the story from him sooooooo many times when I was growing up. My dad was in the Army, not\u00a0 the Marines, so he wasn&#8217;t with this horse&#8217;s regiment, but he fought very close by, so she was a legend. EVERYONE knew about Reckless.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">See, she was a S. Korean race horse, for a brief time. And the local guy who owned her during the Korean Conflict, well, his sister needed a prosthetic leg. So he sold Reckless to the American Marines, for $250, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">She was a tiny, little mare&#8230;maybe 14 hands high. She weighed only 900 pounds, so she was very tiny. They needed her to carry ammo to the trips (those mortar shells, heavy things, or whatever they&#8217;re called).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless_in_pasture.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-26477\" alt=\"Sgt_reckless_in_pasture\" src=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless_in_pasture-300x229.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless_in_pasture-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless_in_pasture.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So she would make these trips to the front lines from the base camp. Loaded down with artillery, sometimes they would strap the injured guys at the front, on her back, and she would bring them back to get medical attention. So many times, the firing was so intense, they couldn&#8217;t send people with her, and because these &#8220;Reckless&#8221; guns were mobile, they were moved them around a lot, so the N. Koreans couldn&#8217;t get a bead on their positions.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But she would find them, alone, on her own&#8230;no kidding. It&#8217;s all true. The whole story was on HR-TV. I thought my dad was making all this up, or exaggerating, but it&#8217;s all true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-26479\" alt=\"Sgt_reckless2\" src=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless2-300x265.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless2-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt_reckless2.jpg 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So, anyway, she would drink beer with the guys, eat scrambled eggs, drink coca cola&#8230;.everything.\u00a0 Sometimes they couldn&#8217;t get her oats, or other horse food. So they fed her what they ate, basically. They loved her. She saved many lives.\u00a0\u00a0 If it was cold, they would wrap her up and put her in the tent with them. If the shelling got too intense, they would strap THEIR flak jackets on her, because she was too valuable to lose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt-Reckless_under_fire.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26478\" alt=\"Sgt-Reckless_under_fire\" src=\"http:\/\/blacktypebugler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Sgt-Reckless_under_fire.jpg\" width=\"353\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Then, when the war was over, she was going to be left behind, but her story became so legendary, that the Marines passed the hat, and they brought her back to the USA after the war.\u00a0 So, she ended up at Camp Pendleton, in CALIFORNIA, I think it was &#8230;\u00a0 Her sire was a Japanese race horse, because at first she was partially owned by a Japanese guy (I think), who sold his interest\u00a0 in her to the Korean guy.\u00a0 One of those free breedings for half interest kind of deals, because the Korean guy couldn&#8217;t afford the stud fee. And her dam was a Korean race horse &#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 .<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">(This) means so much to me, because it meant not only so much to my Dad. He would tear up sometimes, at the end of his life, when he was talking about it&#8230;.and he wasn&#8217;t even stationed with her, being in the Army, and she was in the Marines. He said all the service guys fighting over there used to tear up when they talked about her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Anyway, we have sponsored the race for three years running, since we joined the game in 2011, and we plan to keep doing it every year. There&#8217;s even a fund people can donate to, because they built a statue for her.\u00a0\u00a0 I heard it&#8217;s not all paid off, so they&#8217;re still accepting donations.\u00a0\u00a0 She died in the 60s, I think it was&#8230;not sure about that. She had a few babies while at Camp Pendleton, where they eventually made her a Staff Sargeant. No kidding. LOL. They loved that mare.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Thanks for sharing Emmy.
