Although
the weather for Preakness '03 wasn't cherry, a group of Kids
to the Cup members still managed to have a sterling time. Friday
morning members Carly Silver, CT; Sean Goehring, CA; and Robin
Tan, PA, winners of tickets to 'Susan and Special Day as well
as Preakness Day, were joined by members Emma and Ellie Shaw
for a tour of the Pimlico facilities. Friday evening they took
in the pre-Preakness party at Camden Yards to watch the Orioles
play baseball.
Trainer
Lisa Lewis, who saddled Kissin Saint in the big race, welcomed
the group under her shedrow, spoke with the group, and even
allowed members to visit with the colt.
Of course,
the Preakness itself was a tour de force for Funny Cide as he
romped home well clear of the pack. He is well poised to make
an assault on that most-coveted prize: the Triple Crown.
Always a
special part of the Preakness trip, members joined the post-race
celebration at the Stakes barn where the Funny Cide's hearty
group of owners stole the show.
