Diary Post #175

Good Morning,

So many of you have wanted to see more of my surroundings. HRTV will be filming tomorrow…but John took some lovely photos of Lane’s End during his recent visits.

Here is a view from one part of my paddock. I see this daily when I go out and play. There ….enjoying the beautiful grounds…is this lovely sculpture of a BUNNY! There are several pieces like this on the farm. They make everything a bit more ‘fun’ to look at each day. I’d have to say, in my free time, I’m learning to enjoy and appreciate ART as well.

The other interesting part of this is that my dear jockey, MIKIE, has an AUNT (Aunt Nedra) who owns the NEDRA MATTEUCCI GALLERIES in Santa Fe, New Mexico. From what I’ve been told, several of these pieces on the farm were purchased from her gallery during the last several years…long before I resided here.

It always seems to amaze me how ‘the world’ is really so much more closely knit than what one thinks. Here I am at Lane’s End…appreciating the ART pieces that were purchased from a GALLERY owned by my MIKIE’S AUNT. Oh…it is such a small world!
HMMMMM…seems like I am really getting very reflective in my free time! I must say, I think another side of my personality seems to be developing! Too Cute!

I’m off to get ready for tomorrow’s photos/videos. Several of you have asked…the ceremony will take place at 2:30ish PST at Santa Anita. Hope to see you then!

With Love,
Hugs to all~
