How disappointing!

Miss Vyvyanne was scratched today.  Apparently she has a "low grade fever".  It's great she was checked out by a vet early in the day.

We planned on going to the race in Florida.  I'd picked out a cruise and was ready to book when, my inner voice said "no"!   I had no idea why I kept on hearing this voice, but I do listen to my inner voice.  I thought maybe one of us was going to get sick.  Cec and I have had a minor virus but nothing to stop travel.  All the other owners flew down and I felt bad we stayed home with Richard.  Now I'm thrilled and thank my inner voice!  I told Richard when I said I didn't want to go and never gave him a reason there would be more races.  So, in the future, we will go to Florida and see her race.  And of course, get on a cruise because if you are in Miami, why not?

We got to The Derby before we found out about her being scratched.  We had a wonderful lunch and on race #7, I bet on #3.  She came in first!   I always bet to "show" and I won $3.20 on my $2.00 bet.  As you can tell, I'm not a gambler!  Not enough to pay for lunch.
