Charismatic Connection

Chris and I receive a divine gift in 1988.While cooling down a three year-old thoroughbred at Belmont Park, I see Chris walking down the shed row. One glance and we (know). We recognize each other at the deepest level of our being. However, we aren't quite ready for the exalted state of Charismatic Connection. Chris and I cross paths the next four years at New York racetracks.We are completely mesmerized with each other, but we're afraid to walk up and introduce ourselves. Our souls are saying, "I know you, I love you, "but our insecurities are saying," I am not worth loving and knowing. It's not until 1999, when an unlikely long shot named Charismatic and a long forgotten jockey named Chris Antley make history winning the Kentucky Derby that our connection crystallizes. If you've ever longed to find a love that is beyond the ordinary, you will love this story of star-crossed lovers. If you liked the book or movie Seabiscuit you'll enjoy this sweeping saga set against the backdrop of the exciting horse racing industry. As I travel from the high society parties of Saratoga Springs to horseback riding in the Black Forest, Germany, you will be swept up in these international adventures as I search for Charismatic Connections with myself, others and with life.
