Paying her own way ...

Posted by Avram Freedberg

Ahvee’s Destiny bore out at the start bumping into the horse on her right. Instead of positioning behind a horse or two, she went for the lead and ran gamely, coming back from several attempts by Jilli’s Cape to pass her… until the end, when she was passed by ¾ length. She came in second on a track rated only “good,” so she did well for herself. She likes the track “firm.” She’ll ship to Saratoga mid-month.

Ofcr. Sheila T Rex worked 4 furlongs in a slow 52.08 seconds. I guess she’ll end up in a claiming race for maidens in Saratoga.

Paris is great. Screwed up many nighttime photos from the Eiffel Tower by not turning off the flash but still got some nice ones from the Trocadero. My hooves are more sore than the horsie’s hooves. In three days, we’ve been to the Tower twice, Versailles Palace and Gardens, Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, Louvre, L’Orangerie, Montmatton. Primitive Museum, saw friends for dinner… whew!
