I was able to pet Shedaresthedevil on Tuesday at Fasig-Tipton. She tried to snuggle with me.
I think it was the ginger cookies I had been eating shortly before. She sold for $5 million.
Also saw Swiss Skydiver. She was beautiful! She sold for $4.7 million, I think.
And went to the open house at Lanes End. I went with a friend on Tuesday and we were there kind of at the end, so she just asked the groom she knew if he would take Honor A.P. out of his stall and he did. We both were allowed to stand at his shoulder and pet him and get some pics. Very cool. We went back the next day, earlier so that there were breeders there, and saw quite a few of the stallions. The folks at Lanes End are so kind to visitors. Also, you can still recognize Quality Road from a mile away: he has a wild hairstyle and his forelock is always hanging down over his eyes and there is a lot of it, it is hilarious.
My friend Awesome Gem at Old Friends was happy to see me. Yesterday one of my friends had told me his neck was very itchy, and she’d been scratching his neck and all of a sudden -clunk- he laid his head on her shoulder.
I was remembering the other day that he ran in Zenyatta’s BC classic.
I missed seeing Essential Quality yesterday. We’d gone over to the Spendthrift Open House but it turned out that it wasn’t starting for another 45 minutes. I’d made plans with a friend and wanted to head out of town before the bad weather hit. Oh well, next time.
