Today has been amazing! I flew on the plane in the first spot. They wanted to load me on the plane last…so I would be the first one off!
We made great time in the air. Flight was smooth and fun! Mario was with me!
When we arrived at the airport, the vans were lined up to take all 16 horses on the plane to Churchill Downs. The plane doors opened and it was fabulous. They were getting ready to have me leave the plane and load on the van…and suddenly my family, Ann, Jerry, Dottie, John and Mike…and many other friends appeared. ESPN and TVG were there to take videos of this…but Ann and John were doing videos too! It was great to see them.
Then I loaded onto the van and off we went to Churchill Downs! I had a POLICE ESCORT! Rather nice…if I must say so myself. Thus, the trip to Churdhill was smooth and quick.
I arrived at Barn 41 and there were so many photographers and fans to greet me! THIS REALLY MADE ME FEEL SPECIAL AND LOVED. I really can’t thank people enough for being so kind and supportive of me. It really means a great deal.
I settled into my barn…did a bit of grazing…then relaxed for a few hours. I also got to say YIPPEE HARMONIOUS to my friend and congratulate her on her great G1 win. It was wonderful to see her!
While all of this was going on…the post position draw for the Breeders Cup Classic was taking place. I drew post 8 of 12. A great spot…but even better is the fact that I get to wear a PINK saddle towel. I think it is one of ,my better colors. YEAH! At least I’m starting the day with a color and outfit that I feel confident and great wearing. YIPPEE!
Hugs to all….
