Note for partners attending Saratoga Sunday
Ausable Chasm continues to be doing very well going into Sunday's 2nd race at Saratoga where she will make her debut. She again went to the gate today and toured the paddock, and after 6 full days here is completely relaxed and comfortable. While there are more highly touted and distinguished pedigrees signed on for tomorrow's NYB MSW, I doubt there will be a filly that looks as good as she will. Partners and family able to attend should assemble by the Carolina Barbecue Cafe (across from the Carousel) immediately after the 1st race, and we will head to the paddock. (About 1:05p). It promises to be another fun and hopefully unforgettable experience. See you at Saratoga! Steve

Lloydobler--Ausable Chasm connection
The breeder for the #6 (Page by Page) in Ausable Chasm's race is Stonegate Stables. The same stable where Lloyd is spending his turnout time this summer.

good luck to the AC partners - they didn't show her much in the paddock, but she's leading the parade right now and appears to be nice and bouncy and alert - good luck and safe trips to all!

Finally back.. Filly came out of race clearly tired and with as many experiences under the girth as possible. Pre-race Ausable Chasm was perfect, and Alex Solis told us that she did great waiting in the gate and was sharp when the latch sprung. She did everything he asked including the slightly forced lead change around the eighth pole. She ate a lot of heavy mud, and was being hit hard with it around the turn but tried to run through it according to Solis. Alex then wrapped up on her past the sixteenth. She should benefit from the race in every way imaginable.
It was a great day at the Old Spa, with an enthusiastic crowd of more than 40 Dee Tee partners, their family and friends, as well as a slew of Derby Trailers. Many went to barn after the race as well. Michelle Gately, Bill Kent and Pro Fotog Dave Harmon recorded the day for the Stable, and we should have some terrific pictures Monday or Tuesday. More tomorrow after I get to the track and see how Chasm is feeling in the morning. If all goes well, she'll run back in 21-28 days! Thanks again to everybody that made it possible and all who turned out...

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

Just spoke to Paul Barone, and Ausable Chasm in good shape this morning...
Tired but not listless, which indicates that she was simply short on fitness which was surprising given her bullet at Belmont and overall physical appearance. She ate up last night, and other than two slightly swollen nicks on her back legs, came out of the race in good order. In the 2nd condition book, there are 6f (Monday, August 16) and 7f (Sunday, August 22) options for Ausable Chasm as a second start...
