Edwin: Henna (Churchill-Downs)

A Story by Abishai100

A mysterious 'vision' of a ghost-haunting at the iconic horse-race event in the Homeland reflecting a special capitalism-race honey.

A fan-toast for what makes the Kentucky Derby a 'cool' signpost for all that's simply capitalism's 'hospitality' face (and headiness). Enjoy,

Well, most of you folks know and understand/appreciate how that iconic May-Saturday nationally-televised (NBC) American horse-race 'event' (now popular on social-media) known as the Kentucky Derby, held in that grand Homeland arena of Churchill-Downs, had become a hallmark for competition-class celebrations and the shimmering photogenic representations of the various prominent or 'pronounced' champion-level horses/contender who seek to grab that pure-gold trophy.

This story about competition-class regards the special magic at Churchill-Downs in the American Homeland created by a very special 'presence' during that Saturday-May Kentucky-Derby 'event' and had become a special specter presence for journals/social-media chess. In fact, this 'specter' had become a certain 'reference-character' for various barons/investors at the Derby who considered his 'presence' a special 'reflection' of what made that gold-color of the grand/televised horse-race in the Homeland an 'intelligence' for capitalism-race hyperbole (wow).

BARON/INVESTOR: As my horse raises a prize at Churchill-Downs this May-Saturday, I'll be writing a journal-entry (editorial?) about the 'presence' of that prince-specter at the Derby (Edwin).

Well, horses, wild and/or reared/trained/bred, have been a fine poetry for the American history portrait. We've known of the wild-stallions roaming around the United States during the expansion of the colonies and development of American territories and then the breeding of horses and ranch-horse keep and of course cowboy-lore and rodeo-fun with the strength/magic of that special hooved creature of incredible competition-class and life-reflection hubris (or humility).

EDWIN: It was one special Saturday-May on which I wagered much (while suffering from a terminal ailment!) on an 'upstart' horse-racer/contender (Arklow) who'd go onto become a millionaire, starting at Churchill-Downs, and I'd forever consider this 'youth-wager' as a 'ghost's premonition' of what made competition-class activity a 'sign' for immortality/high-art.

Edwin had been a post-grad investor and prince fan of the Derby while dealing with a terminal illness. He wagered much on an upstart-horse at Churchill-Downs who won his mini-race at the Derby that May when Edwin considered himself a 'made' fan of this American 'event' in culture/capitalism/cinema. When he was a boy, he read the iconic Anna Sewell work (Black Beauty) and now was a social-media 'culture' fanboy/prince of race commentary (ha).

Edwin's 'premonition' was fantastic/accurate. However, when this mystery-note found in a Churchill-Downs locker some years after his tragic death regarding Edwin's 'spirit-declaration' of the magic of the Kentucky Derby media-chess, rumors/chats flew that Edwin's ghost had become something of a media-market 'phenomenon' for what had (certainly!) become a 'champagne' for the hallmark of American hubris (wow).

What did Edwin's discovered note suggest for fans of Churchill-Downs? Was it written/left (indeed) by the 'specter-presence' of this prince (Edwin)? Were the rumors that Derby-fans and attendees somehow 'witnessed' his presence (and considered the new age 'ghost-tale' of his social-media 'culture' friendly suggestion/message that horse-racing was an application of 'cool' vanity), a positive Homeland marketing/media 'angle' to draw in more investors/fans of this social-media conversational-flowered event?

Maybe some long-time fans of the Derby and of horses (in general) would wonder if Edwin's apparent 'specter-message' discovered at Churchill-Downs after his death revealed some 'stranger-magic' concerning the metaphysics energy of the wild and bred creatures of our Earth race and why Black Beauty (Anna Sewell) would be hailed as a 'symbol' of capitalism's special 'homework' face!

DERBY_FAN: My friends and I like to 'wager' that Edwin (the ghost!) was a fan of mint-juleps and why the Churchill-Downs race in the Homeland has become a special 'affair' for the ingestion of all that's capitalism's highness.

Maybe someone at the Derby forged that 'ghost-letter' (or message) found in the Churchill-Downs locker apparently written by the 'specter' of the deceased Kentucky horse-fan (Arklow) named Edwin. Maybe Edwin had a friend or fan who (himself/herself) wished to create some 'extra-credit' media-magic and energizers for the Derby's special magazine-henna face.

DERBY-WRITER: "I believe Edwin really was a 'sincere' Derby/Churchill-Downs advocate or fan; and I do believe that message found apparently written by his specter did indeed (somehow!) reflect what this mysterious prince revealed about that special superstitious magic of the Kentucky/Homeland event --- a magic reflected in our social-media 'culture' of silvery commentary (or Selfie-hyperbole)."
