A trip to Saratoga inspired Chichakly to consider trying her hand with thoroughbreds.
She started out as a hot walker and eventually began to gallop horses, climbing the ladder up to assistant trainer.
Amira Chichakly, a longtime assistant to recently retired trainer Gary Contessa, spent 10 years working on and off
with Contessa in addition to a one-year stint as an assistant for trainer Wayne Catalano in Kentucky.
She is currently overseeing a bustling stable of 17 horses at Belmont Park, mostly inherited from Contessa's stock,
which employs up to 11 staff at any given time. Rather than dreaming of Triple Crown glory, Chichakly said
she has set her sights on a more attainable goal.
“I would just like to race. Can we start there?” laughed Chichakly. “My first goal is to get in the paddock to saddle a horse.
“Beyond that, it's hard to think too far ahead right now,” she added. “I'd like to always have a tight barn.
I'm not looking to become a big trainer right away. I'd like to keep my stock around the number it is right now
and know that I'm doing everything right with those horses and watch them grow to their potential.
I'd like to see each horse I work with perform to the best of their ability.”
I like the cut of her jib!

Looking over the changes:
I have a question...
Scratched - Trainer Scratched - Veterinarian
Scratched - Stewards
I understand the first two, but what would be the reason for a steward to scratch a horse?

SAR 3- Many deep closers in here, don't want them. Using #3- Prairie Wings (4-1) FTT for Pletcher, should take to the turf readily, and #8-Sengekontacket (7-2) who just missed last time in first turf attempt.
EX- 3,8/1,3,4,6,8

SAR 10- Hurricane Breeze/Lido Key for a hunch bet exacta box seems logical, although I don't think the gulf side of Florida is in any danger, for now.
