Just back from a beautiful day at the spa! Thanks to Steve, Gary and Chuck for making this happen. Went back to the barn after the 5th race to see Ausable Chasm and she was tired and very sweet.At one point she was just resting her head on my shoulder as if the weight of it were just too much to bear. It was dinner time as I was leaving and and she stuck her head in her feed bucket before it was even put in her stall. I will assume that she licked it clean. All of Gary's horses looked great and I really enjoyed visiting with Loyal Shadow, Crescent Moon Dr, Tutti Va Bene (who did not make it into the 1st race) and Kittylicious.
We do have a connection with the horse who won the 2nd race - Yawkey Way was saddled by the one an only Cherie.
It was great to see a bunch of folks I haven't seen since Sumwon's start at the Spa. Naturally, I took a slew of pictures and will get them posted up soon.
Thanks again to all who keep this circus running
