Rachel Alexandra is still in serious, but stable, condition at Rood and Riddle in Lexington, Kentucky. Her veterinarians are becoming a little more optimistic about her recovery chances with each passing day. ... Gary Stevens rode Great Hot to victory in the Santa Maria Stakes yesterday; that makes three Stakes wins on three consecutive weekend days. Way to go, Gary!
It's a beautiful sunny, but breezy, day here. The western side of the continental divide has gotten a lot of snow recently - and skiing conditions are great. Here, on the eastern side, we are dry and windy, and under a Red Flag warning for High fire danger. The weather folks are saying we might get snow tomorrow night, but will definitely get snow this coming Thursday and Friday. We'll see. It's in the low 40s right now, and we reached 55 degrees yesterday. It was great being able to soak up the heat and sun in a place sheltered from the wind (my patio). The kits really enjoyed it, I know.
Poor Accomack County, Virginia. As far as I know, none of the 50 arson fires have happened on Chincoteague Island, but folks on the mainland are getting burned - quite literally. The Accomack Sheriff's Office is now offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the arsonist/s who is/are responsible for the 50 destructive fires since November 12th. ... And, if you own a horse, and plan to be in the area of the Eastern Shore of Virginia on March 23, please consider a riding/camping trip with the proceeds supporting the Eastern Shore Special Olympics...
