VISITING OUR FRIENDS ON THE BACKSTRETCH in Saratoga (8/18/25)
We had a wonderful time visiting our horses, visiting with old friends, and viewing the training.
Would you like to learn a little more on training? Check out the documentary, "Training for Life":

Top middle photo is Mary giving a little love to Nano Man (who runs Friday 8/22). The middle photo is myself with Orlando Noda. It was great to see him back in action and to catch up. The middle left is a Saffie Joseph trainee looking great in the work. On the middle right is one of our favorite horses, Metatron, who should be back running on 8/27, after a very long layoff. He seems energized and ready to go! The lower middle is me giving Jackson Heights instructions on how to run his race tomorrow (8/20). I've always gotten the impression that he hears what I'm saying😃! The photo to the right is also Jackson. And the photo to the lower left is one of the last photos I took before exiting our morning expedition and visits. Top right is one of Danny Gargan's horses and exercise rider. If you know who horse and rider are, please chime in! We had a wonderful time with the exception that Mary forgot to take her allergy medication and wound up sneezing half the time and another 3 hours afterward. Enjoy your day. ~Garry
