Anthony did mention possible auction next Monday. Nice second.

YIKES!!

At least you will get one more start with her on December 1 in the second leg of the series.  Let’s get her a win and work with the track photographer to photoshop all of the owners into the winners circle picture!

I have yet to be at the track when I horse I have a share in has won. Maybe she will not go to auction. Since open house date still not known, there is a chance Fancy could race during that weekend. I'll probably head to Northfield if 14/15 or earlier. Otherwise kids will be home for Christmas. 

I've thought the same, need to get photoshopped in winner's circle pic. I have been in a few for group outings/bach parties. But no copies for me, so I cannot prove it. (all over 20 years ago)

 

Have Lonnie re-tell the irony of Fancy winning at Yonkers on Jug Week, when the NY gang was in Delaware.  

I had to get the first Stable win with Casanova Hall even though I was over 2000 miles away.  It is hanging prominently in the family room, so I can watch my wife roll her eyes several times a week.  As an aside and something I shared with one of our fellow Stable members, the photo WILL be part of history one day.  The caretaker in the winner’s circle was Lauren Harmon.  If she isn’t a household name in the industry in 10 years as a trainer, then Lonnie doesn’t know how to write.  Never met her, but that is my prediction and I’m sticking to it.

Besides driving in amateur races, I've also seen her drive a few races for who I assume is her sister. 

Loved the line: “so I can watch my wife roll her eyes several times a week”. Funny!

Anthony said probably a clerical problem with the claim. Trainer then asked to buy but asked for a discount. Potential Owner is a client in another jurisdiction. (Lonnie? haha)

To the auction block, but will race next Sunday.

Nope... it wasn't I who placed the claim 🙂

7/5 Sunday from the rail in what could be her swan song for us.  At this moment in time, I would sign up for a win and a claim on Sunday rather than roll the dice on Monday.  I assume he's not going to give her away in the auction.  But, the current claiming price seems fair.

Congratulations on the win tonight.  Not claimed.  What will she bring on the Preferred Sale?  And to all the owners, order a dang win picture.  You will want to have something to honor your connection to this very nice filly.

Hopefully she's get an auction pop now...   Or, we keep her.  

But alas, that's a "no" from me on the Winners Circle photo.

We were at The Meadowlands last night, and after every race we kept saying, "One day... one day we will get the picture and the trophy in the winner's circle".
