Harold Carmichael Pictures from 9/5/09

Well, I have finally been able to come down off of the high from Rachel's Woodward race and managed to put a few pictures up of Harold Carmichael at Saratoga. I went over to visit him on Saturday at Saratoga. Harold is quite a character. He is very friendly but tends to think that everything in his grasp is a chew toy - he reminds me of a puppy! His stablemate Loyal Shadow is very very sweet. Kittylicious is also sweet and was curious about what all of the commotion over Harold is about.

I met Javier who is Harold's groom. Harold's barn name is Shorty. Javier was exceptionally nice and after my morning he visit drove my back over to the track, right to the barbecue in a golf cart. Boy did I feel special. I didn't get to meet Gary Sciacca but Javier was a wonderful host while I was there.

Here are a few pictures that I took:

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Harold's neighbor, Loyal Shadow is my filly and I love the shots you took of her.

She is a very nice filly. I enjoyed visiting with her. While I was taking pictures of Harold she kept playing with the top half of the door to his stall and was pleased with herself about being able to get it partially closed. I think she wanted to divert some of the attention from Harold to herself.

Best of luck with her.

Any word on HC's "official" name yet?
