Smile Nice Day at Belmont
Steve and all Dee Teers,
Nancy and I had a wonderful first visit to Belmont(huge). Thanks to Steve for getting us box seat tickets and the paddock priviledges. Nice to meet so many other partners and enjoy their company. Looking forward to future encounters at different tracks. It was great to see Aldeb and looks like she has only an upside in the future. I would agree that she did not have a great trip but learned some valuable experience. She did not look that tired for having just run in the humid weather.
Nancy and Tom LaVoice

Default Thanks Steve
Was great to meet everyone again.

Was hot to say the least. it was great to see Aldeb for the first time. She was certainly green. Got a little excited when she made a slight run in the turn, but she met up with more trouble.

Anyway, when I got off the road, I'll try to post my pics or clips.

Chuck, compared to the others in that field she looked a little on the smallish side. Was I seeing things?

I thought it was just me, but I told Mrs. Bigs that Corny looked huge on her when they showed her on the backstretch pre-race. I know he's not big, so she must be smallish.

Aldeb is leggy but fine bodied. you guys should have seen the Monsters in the 2nd race!
#3-eye of taurus (aldebaran) was good size BUT #5-royal ballade (darley) was a Monster! and the #6-false impression was close in size.

in the 5th race (ours) the winner #2B-gemswick park was big and close in size to the #5 & #6 in the second race. #9-amber's edge was as tall as Aldeb but was thicker bodied.

FYI... Gemswich Park received a 91 Beyer Speed Figure in the race.. y comparison, Grande Ballade in the 2nd got a 65.

I wouldnt call her small but she doesnt carry a lot of weight on her frame. She eats like a hog but just doesnt gain much weight though the thyroid issues may have something to do with that.
