The old man keeps on spoiling us. It will be a very sad day when he finally retires. I doubt if he even wants to retire.

I know my family and I were thrilled by the way he ran yesterday. After the race I was amazed that he wasn't overly sweating or looking very tired. We had a few discussions on Friday and on Saturday about scratching him because of the heat but as Pat Kelly said if the heat was going to bother him he would not run. If Attire doesn't like the conditions he will not stretch out. That is why at ten years old he is still running. He is very smart and knows how to take care of himself.

I was hoping we would have a chance to run Evening Attire in Saratoga but I just read the new condition book and there is no race for him. The only long race at the end of the meet is a 9F, The Woodward. They do not plan on running any 10F races for older horsesfor the entire meet. I asked a number of times if they would write a long race and was always told yes. I guess NYRA thinks that Saratoga fans do not want to watch old horses running long in Saratoga.
Maybe next year or the following year when he is 11 or 12 they may write a 10F or longer race race.

He shipped to Monmouth this morning. When he got to his stall, they took off the traveling bandages; Pat noticed a little filling on his leg near a cut. The cut was from two days ago. He walked fine but we decided to be very cautious and scratch him. He got back to Belmont at about 1PM and the vet said he thought it may be a small infection from the cut. He was treated with topical medicine and will be checked again in the morning.

Reported in DRF this evening (9/22)
Evening Attire suffers a setback Evening Attire was forced to scratch from Sunday's Point Given Stakes at Monmouth Park due to filling in a leg, trainer Pat Kelly said. The filling was detected after the horse arrived at Monmouth Park on Sunday morning. Kelly said it would take a few days before he knew for sure how serious a problem the 10-year-old gelding may or may not have. "We scratched to be cautious," Kelly said Monday morning at his Belmont Park barn. "We're checking it out. We won't know anything for another 48 or 72 hours. He's not running anytime soon. He's here, we're dealing with it." Evening Attire was coming off an 8 1/4-length victory in the Greenwood Cup at Philadelphia Park on July 19 and seemed to have found new life going 1 1/2 miles. Overall, he has won 15 of 69 starts and earned $2,977,130 for owners Joseph and Mary Grant and T.J. Kelly.
