"The Theba Thing" is about stepping out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and trying the things that have been on my mind and heart.

I have watched Mixed Martial Arts for years now.  How did this happen?  Well, I was channel surfing one night and caught two men in this cage-like thing - called The Octagon - not just boxing; but kicking, wrestling and engaged in all of these other creative and amazing maneuvers.  I’m sure my interest to stop on this channel also had something to do with these incredibly-built, bare-chested men. I’m not going to lie.  
 


Nevertheless, I was amazed by the sport itself, because it’s so action packed. You couldn't count anyone out.  A guy could be taller or smaller; have major muscles or look like he’s never lifted a barbell. You just never knew who was going to win with a punch, a submission, a kick, or a leg-lock.

On Fire Baby Will Point to Honeybee

Anita Cauley’s dual Grade 2-winning filly On Fire Baby will be pointed toward the $125,000 Honeybee Stakes (G3) at Oaklawn March 10 as trainer Gary ‘Red Dog’ Hartlage seeks the best schedule to get the talented 3-year-old to peak at Churchill Downs in the first week of May.

“It’s all about the best road for getting to Louisville,” Hartlage said. “I have no problem waiting a few more weeks with the way she’s been training if this puts on that road.”

On Fire Baby was considered for races this month after finishing third against males in the Smarty Jones Stakes Jan. 16. She was among six fillies nominated to the Triple Crown and another start against males in the $250,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) Feb. 20 was one option, but after consulting with Cauley, Hartlage is preparing to keep as many options open next month rather than potentially closing doors at this point.
