Plans

It’s been raining a lot. This makes it difficult to train much less race. But for all you who have said they’re waiting for a race at a metro track, Arielle’s Song is pointing to her first race at Belmont on Friday, June 19th. It’ll be a mile on the grass, if weather allows. Let me know if you intend to come, so I can gauge how much seating to reserve. First race on Fridays is now 3PM. Belmont has all kinds of happenings for their “Sunset” racing, including music, probably a concert and much more.

Ahvee’s Destiny was supposed to be nominated for a race at Woodbine in Toronto on June 21. However, they missed the nomination date. It’s still a possibility, since we can pay for a supplementary nomination. This race is at 6 furlongs (she hasn’t raced this long a distance since 2007) on the grass. It’s a graded stakes with a purse of $200K. In other words, it’s a high quality race that will have a high quality field. In the meantime, we’ll be looking for other alternatives. A decision on the Canadian race must be made by next Wednesday. Ahvee’s Destiny breezed on Monday a little faster than Linda wanted her to because she was a little rank (unruly). At least, she was the fastest of those breezing that distance.

Katy’s Office Girl breezed a slow 39+ seconds for 3 furlongs. Unfortunately, she has not shown any speed in her short workouts. We can only hope that she can run long distances with some speed in reserve.

Conseated Lady has arrived at Saratoga and will gradually resume her training.

Hear the Footsteps breezed 4 furlongs in 49+ last week and looks good to all.

We still keep track of Rexy who will be competing against one of Linda’s horses at Fingerlakes on Sunday. I’ll be rooting for Rexy.
