HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Posted by Avram Freedberg

Hope 2011 brings you all good things!

Katy's Office Girl is scheduled to run a mile on the dirt at Aqueduct today. I'd hoped she could be in a longer race, since she seems to finish well but takes quite awhile to get in gear but I guess this is the best Linda could find. Ramon Dominguez will guide her to her first win, we hope!

Ahvee's Destiny had a nice 3 fulong breeze at Palm Meadows. Hopefully, she will be ready for a race soon which will help determine whether she will campagin this year or go to the breeding shed.

Hopefully, our flight today will go smoothly and we'll be home this evening. Best to all!

Katy

Posted by Avram Freedberg

Unfortunately, my e-mail was not functioning all weekend. Katy's Office Girl was the 2-1 favorite on Friday (though why I don't know…. maybe it was Ramon in the saddle). As usual, she was nowhere to be found but had lots of run at the end. Still she finished third but not really close to the winner. Because the race was off the grass it was only one mile. Ramon says that for Katy, the longer the better. Maybe we can look at her as a lesser (make that much lesser) version of Zenyatta, who is always at the back and then comes on in the end. We had never run her on dirt before because her turf workouts were so much better than her dirt workout. Nonetheless, if Linda can find the right length races for her, she may be able to win a few.

If I haven't wished this before (or even if I have), Happy Chanukah!

Best,
A.

Katy's Office Girl

Posted by Avram Freedberg

I was sure that we would scratch if the race for Katy on Friday was taken off the grass…. but I was wrong. The race is off the grass but Linda says we're going for it. It's the 9th race at Aqueduct with Ramon Dominguez aboard. Go Katy!

Ahvee's Destiny has put on some weight in Florida. So, she will work into a little better shape at Pat's farm for two weeks and then go to Palm Meadows for more serious training.

Hear the Footsteps is at Pat's farm already.

All the best,
A.
