I read it when I got the email. I did not know she had bought back some of the horses her husband had sold
and she certainly has been nice to the Saratoga staff
What a shame that the Racing Hall of Fame didn’t induct her as a Pillar of the Turf last year when she would have been there to enjoy it.
(Seriously, she was 93. What took the HOF so long to get around to it??)
