Kaddish is the memorial prayer one say during three prayer services each day. It must be said with a Minyan, a minimum of ten adult Jews (men only, for the Orthodox) present. Since we could not find 10 circumcised Masai warriors, much less 10 Jews, we had to cancel a wonderful African Safari in Tanzania with our good friends.
Instead, we went to a trade show in Rome, where we could find synagogues who had a daily minyan for the various services. Naturally, Linda Rice decided to run some horses at Belmont the day after we got to Rome. Awakino Cat, a stalwart of her barn for 6 years, came in second in a $25,000 claiming race and was claimed by trainer David Jacobson. Arch Traveler was entered in $35,000 claiming race that same day and ran a lackluster fourth but was not claimed.
Cameron Lucky, our only harness horse, ran out of the money the last two weekends
Today, Hear the Footsteps is scheduled to run on the turf in the 9th race at Belmont with Jose Ortiz in the irons out of the 4 hole. It'll be an off track. As long as there are no big downpours, the race should stay on the grass... but who can know. He'll be competitive. He usually is. Go Footsie!
People are making reservations for their stays in Saratoga. Give us a call, if you're interested. It's great to wake up and watch the horsies train in the mornings. Our Jose likes it too!
Best,
A.
