Going For the Gold- Different Meaning in Horses Than in Hollywood

Going for the gold has an entirely different meaning in Hollywood than it does in the horse industry. However, there are notable similarities. The Oscars is the pinnacle event of the year for Hollywood, where the industry’s best and brightest stars will be rewarded for the talent they exhibited during their performances that year… much like what happens at the World Show each season.
