Lamar Jackson's Got Game... And Horses?! Poki Reacts!

Wait Lamar Jackson... Owns Horses Now?!

Okay besties spill the tea! I just saw this article about Lamar Jackson you know the Baltimore Ravens' quarterback and apparently he's gone full on 'Old Town Road' and bought a horse racing team. The Maryland Colts! Like what?! As if dodging linebackers wasn't enough now he's strategizing for the Kentucky Derby? I'm shooketh! Can someone explain to me how this happened? And why wasn't I invited to the stable?!

Championship Dreams: From Football Field to...Racetrack?

Apparently Lamar is all about that championship life. He wants to win both in the NFL *and* the National Thoroughbred League. Talk about ambitious! I'm just picturing him yelling plays to the horses "Hike! Hike! Go Secretariat GO!" Okay maybe not but the image is hilarious. I'm all for athletes diversifying but horses? Next they'll be running esports teams! Wait... actually that's not a bad idea... *furiously scribbles notes*

Baltimore Pride: Bringing the Colts Back!

Okay I gotta give it to him bringing the Colts name back to Baltimore is a cool move. Nostalgia points through the ROOF! It's like when I try to bring back old school games on stream. Viewers are all like "Poki we wanna see Fortnite" but I'm all about the classics! Seriously though Lamar's investing in his city and that's something I can totally get behind. Maybe I should invest in some boba shops... for research purposes obviously.

More Than Just Horses: Investing with a Purpose

Here's the thing that actually made me say "Okay Lamar I see you." He's not just buying horses for the flex (though let's be real it's a pretty epic flex). He's talking about long term goals giving back to the community and creating opportunities for underprivileged kids in Baltimore. That's the kind of energy I stan! Reminds me of when I host charity streams... except instead of horses I'm wrangling donations. Same thing right?

From Cypress to Churchill Downs (Almost!)

So turns out Lamar grew up around horses. Who knew?! All this time I thought he was just a football genius. He's like a secret horse whisperer in disguise. But what's the tea on him never going to the Kentucky Derby in college? Like was he too busy throwing touchdowns to watch some ponies run around? Okay I guess that's fair. Priorities I suppose. But still missed opportunity for a cute Insta pic!

Level Up: Horse Racing Gets a Modern Makeover

Okay so it's good to know they are doing upgrades to the horse race tracks Pimlico Belmont and Churchill Downs are doing renovations. About Time!!! Anyway it's pretty cool to see horse racing trying to modernize and attract new fans. Maybe they need a streamer to co host! Just putting it out there. Hey I know how to make things entertaining! "Chat who do we think will win? LETS GOOOO!"
