We're staying in Saratoga the next two nights, and going back to the races on Wednesday. Obviously this is a tough time for folks to be 'up' about the game, but the wheel keeps on turning. I don't know if anyone here at UIC gives a crap about seeing pictures from the barns and sales ground right about now, but I'll put some up here each day, if only to keep my own self focused. Weather may be dicey (there's a f'ing surprise) but might get to attend outdoors each evening.

As many photos as possible TW. Thanks.
Will be watching the stream, hoping to catch a glimpse of you with hands safely in pocket.
Here is a photo and walking video of my girl. EDIT-Having trouble with link.

EDIT-Having trouble with link. We’ll head over to Barn 8 when we get in. Can’t imagine it’ll be too long before someone asks to see her take a walk. TW |

Both colts, but I like #103 (Justify) & #105 (Gun Runner.) We skipped the sale tonight, raining now.   TW |

Lastly. We went across the road (Madison) to the Taylor Made consignment. A group of horse people was going out the gate through which we had just entered. I felt Colleen grab my arm, tightly. “It’s Melanie (Giddings) and Shaun (Bridgmohan, jockey, her boyfriend, and MLM’s exercise rider).”
Keep moving forward. What else can you do? I was very sad, and very happy, in equal measures, simultaneously. Does that make sense?
Good night from Saratoga.
TW & CW

Prime spot at the back walking ring. That Blue Moon and Allagash White added an inch to my waist one summer.

Portnoy LOVES gray horses. "They are bred superior to other horses," I heard him say recently.

Prime spot at the back walking ring. That Blue Moon and Allagash White added an inch to my waist one summer. MadameBlum is a Blue Moon aficionado. We got to chat with a few trainers and owners. I even got to talk with MV Magnier (Coolmore) for a minute. I think he was surprised that I knew who he was, and was happy to have me bend his ear. The crowd out back, which was well ‘lubricated’ by the time the Beholder colt sold, was going mad and cheering every time the bidding hit the next round number. That was pretty cool 😎. We got to meet Jonathan Kinchen and his new bride, her family owns/runs Solevo Kitchen & Social in town. Also, Dean Reeves is a funny ball-buster, but in a nice way. Fun night. TW |
