Highland Beach Beachfront Condos

Wow, the past 6 months has been amazing. I love this place. The weather is pretty hot down here in florida. Most of you know that I have only been in Florida for  about 6 months. So far it’s been pretty good.  So far, there have been no hurricanes as of yet. The thing that amazes me the most when it comes to Florida is the property and the beaches.
Some of the homes around the ocean are enormous and some of these homes I can see are only winter homes. Some of these homes have shutters on them to protect them from storms.
While driving along A1A from Boynton to Boca, I came across Highland Beach.

Big Brown in Austraila

Yet, surrounded by the fashionable trifecta of former Miss Australia Rachael Finch, daughter of racing royalty Kate Waterhouse and model Alexandra Agoston O'Connor, champion racehorse Big Brown was in vogue as he paraded in Sydney yesterday.

The horse that captured the imagination of the American public, winning his first five races by a total of 39 lengths and conquering the best three-year-olds of his year in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes -- legs of the US triple crown -- is in Australia to stand at stud this spring.

A harem of well-performed mares with magnificent pedigrees is being assembled at Vinery Stud where they will be covered by the $US60 million ($67m) stallion at a cost to their owners of $44,000. The offspring have the potential to command millions in the sales ring.

John Singleton, a partner in Vinery Stud, said Big Brown managed to capture the hearts of America and was about to do the same in Australia.

"Big Brown is no ordinary horse. He's one of the greatest champions of our time," Singleton said.

"His career demonstrated considerable versatility and he's destined to be one of the most talented stallions to stand at stud in Australia."

Managing director of Vinery Stud, Peter Orton, said yesterday: "He had a special ability at his peak and achieved so much".

What a shame.

I still miss this horse and really wish he would have one the preakness. Big Brown is retired now and out to stud.
