We are back from Saratoga where we watched the rich buy very expensive horses. Made some great contacts and, as always, had fun with friends. We went to the track on Sunday and watched the Vanderbilt stake race. The grandstand and grounds at Saratoga were packed. Very festive and it seems that the whole population attends the races. Wish it was like that here in Maryland! The mares and babies are all back from Kentucky and settled into the August routine. I love watching the foals play tag and their version of hide and seek around the trees. Moms watch patiently, as they race from one cover to the next tree doing endless laps. Future racehorses indeed. I have actually started to ride again. When August rolls around I get a little itchy to be back in the saddle. Red and Polly are enjoying their morning rides ( except for the deer flies and occasional horse fly which, unfortunately, get me when I forget to spray myself with OFF!) Sam is loving his new job with Northrup Grumman and Will took the offer for a spot in private equity in Charlottesville for a year from now. Sarah is back on set, she says, doing "extra" work and makeup gigs to fill in gaps with the restaurant job. Interestingly, her new Prius is getting "extra" work also!!
Go 'SKINS!
