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...

Great Photos Michelle.
As always, another truely awesome Dee Tee experience. It really doesn't get much better than having a starter at the SPA!!!. As someone who grew up in the Capitol District and one who spent numerous summer days at Saratoga, walking into the paddock with family and friends to see one of "our" horses was very special. Thanks to Steve, Chuck, Gary, Paul and staff as well as all the partners, family and friends who were on hand. And a special big thanks to my "day" trip co-pilots -BT- Brian Thomas and Dee Tee Asst Trainer Susan Ditter who's conversation on our return ride last nite helped keep the driver alert and awake.

Just home from opening weekend. Was nice to see everyone on Sunday. Looking forward to Ausable Chasm hopefully getting another start upstate. Physically, AC looked fantastic.
Thanks Steve, Gary and crew.
