SHE WAS GREAT TODAY winning by almost 20 lengths! Now, I’ve seen the great Secretariat and the great Rachel Alexandra win big at Belmont. Both were special experiences.
Our very large filly, Arielle’s Song, will run for the first time on the grass at 6 furlongs on Thursday, July 2 in the first race at Belmont. Post time is 1PM. We saw her today and tried to snuggle her a little. She doesn’t like it too much, seems scared. Linda says she is very hard to handle and she feels a race will help her learn. In short, don’t expect a victory because this is more in the way of training her. (Boy, July 2nd is going to be a busy day. I have a 6AM appointment and Arielle and Jonathan performing at night at Sullivan Hall, Sullivan Street between Bleecker and W. 3rd. They’re asking people to show up at 7:30. If you want to join us for dinner at Ennio and Michael at 6PM, please let me know.)
Ahvee’s Destiny will either run at Monmouth (Oceanport, NJ) on July 12 or Penn National (Grantville, PA near Harrisburg) on July 15th. There are two big races at Penn National on 7/31 and 8/1. The July 15th race is a prep for those races. It would be ideal if she runs well in the prep to have her stay there until the big races but we have to conquer logistical problems.
More to come.
