Awakino Cat runs Sunday at Belmont

Posted by Avram Freedberg

All the top guns are at Keeneland this weekend prepping for the Breeder’s Cup. So, we’re going to Belmont instead. It’s the $70K Basket Weave Stakes (can you believe it?), 6 furlongs on the grass. If he wins and comes out of it okay, we’re definitely pointing him to the Grade 3 Nearctic in Canada next weekend. It has a $500K purse.

This weekend before his race, we’re going to visit him and Ahvee’s Destiny in Saratoga, as well as the “house next door.” I don’t think we’ll accompany him on the van to Belmont but we hope to be there.

Hear the Footsteps is pointing to a race at Belmont on October 23rd. Right now, that seems like quite a while away.

Have a lovely weekend!

Best,
A.
