January 5th was an exciting day for SAFE and Bucky B Lucky.
A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a reporter named Jenny Cunningham from KCTS‑9 (the Seattle PBS television station). She told us that she was working on a story about what happens to racehorses once they leave the track. She had seen the Seattle Times article about Lucky and decide to use Bucky B Lucky as the centerpiece of the story.
So on January 5th, Jenny and her film crew came out to SAFE to film Bucky B Lucky for the story. Lucky wasn’t sure what to make out of the camera being pointed at him at first, but he quickly figured out that it meant him no harm. He was friendly and charming, and acted as a great ambassador for off-the-track thoroughbreds.
The show will be aired in early February on KCTS‑9 (we’ll update this when the date gets closer)
I love the one of him looking at the microphone “What are you? Are you for eating?” lol. Sounds like a cool story. Bucky is a great example of how quickly things can go bad for OTTBs (and thankfully also of rescue going right!)
Great pics.….He is such a sweet boy!!! I can’t wait to see the episode.
What terrific publicity for SAFE! Must be gratifying when your good work gets such positive promotion — congrats!
Lucky’s episode of KCTS Connects will air next Friday, February 18th, at 7:oopm on channel 9 and in HD on 109. Hope everyone watches or sets their DVR to see this beautiful boy in action touting all of SAFE’s many virtues!! Can’t wait to see it!
