It’s complicated, but the bottom line is that Awakino is
entered in the 4th race at Gulfstream on Thursday. So, we’re staying
an extra day even though the family is not. It’s 5 furlongs on the turf with a
claiming tag of $62,500. Hall of fame jockey John Velasquez is aboard. He won 3
Stakes races on Ahvee’s Destiny for us and we’re happy he’s on board.
Unfortunately, my father’s brother, my Uncle Melvin is being
buried today. We had a lovely visit with him in Columbus, Ohio just 2 months
ago. He was still walking to synagogue over a mile from his home on Sabbath and
holidays. Some may remember him from his time in Connecticut liquidating store
merchandise for the Schottenstein empire. He was a very strong-willed man and a
very good person. We will miss him, as he joins his brothers in heaven. My Aunt
Beverly is the only one of the 4 siblings remaining. Must be lonely and a little
scary for her.
Hope it’s a happy new year filled with good health and
happiness for us all!
Best,
A.
