Race day in Florida and New York

Posted by Avram Freedberg

Katy's Office Girl is the 7-5 Morning Line favorite at Aqueduct in the 9th race at one mile on the dirt. She has a jockey I never heard of named Brian Pedroza and will be wearing blinkers for the first time to see if that helps her stay a little closer to the pack. Jim is trying to represent us in New York while we're in Florida at Gulfstream.

This morning we visited Ahvee's Destiny at Palm Meadows Training Center. Boy, was she cute! In the summer at Saratoga, I taught her to give me a kiss to get a carrot. When she saw me today, she started kissing me, then drew back waiting for her carrot. I had no carrots, so she started kissing again. When she didn't get anything other than verbal loving, she got angry and started nipping at both me and Rhoda. We love that horse.

Tomorrow may answer the question, "is she back or is it time to breed her." We hope she's ready to run. We'd miss her on the racetrack, if she was to go to the breeding shed. She's 10-1 Morning Line. Last time that happened, I believe she was 3-1 at posttime. GO AHVEE'S DESTINY!

I'm nervous!

Best,
A.
