Another great day. It started at about 7am with cataract surgery on my left eye (had the right eye done very successfully about 3 weeks ago and am almost to 20-20 vision in that eye now). For the first time in about 50 years, since I was a teenager, I DON’T NEED GLASSES!!! YAY!!!

On the racing front, we had 11 winners, including 2 G1W. Apart from a handful of unraced late-born 2YO’s, we only have 11 older horses that have not raced this year (down from over 100 about two months ago), and some of those are already having their second race for the year and it is showing in the improvement from their first race for the year.

Congrats! I had mine done a few years ago, and it was such a difference to not wear glasses 24/7. (I still wear them for driving, but that’s fine.)

How exciting! Congrats!
