In 2008 she courageously opened I Sodi on Christopher street in the West Village to instant critical acclaim. After finishing art school Sodi began to travel for work in the fashion industry but always dreamt of creating a restaurant. Rita Sodi is chef and owner of the ever-popular I Sodi and co-chef/owner with Jody Williams of Via Carota, the gastroteca that is inspired by her 17th century country house in the hills near Florence. The New York Times called Williams and Sodi ‘one of the great partnerships in the New York restaurant scene’. Upon opening, Via Carota generated instant excitement and critical praise. Williams’ cooking has been praised in such publications as Vogue, Condé Nast Traveler, Bon Appétit, Martha Stewart Living, Le Fooding, Travel and Leisure, Gourmet, Glamour, Elle, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, French Elle, and Libération. Williams opened a second Buvette in South Pigalle Paris in 2013 to much acclaim and followed with Buvette Tokyo in 2018. Buvette has been nominated for a James Beard Award three years in a row.
Williams is also the author of Buvette: The Pleasure of Good Food, released in April 2014 and has written for Saveur and Esopus. Heavenly Sunday is quick from the gates and we’ll see how the pace shakes out early in the Tepin.Jody Williams is the chef and owner of the much acclaimed Buvette in the West Village and co-chef/owner with Rita Sodi of Via Carota, an Italian gastroteca the couple opened in 2014.
“Wadsworth ran a big race last time out to just miss in the Caesars Stakes. “I think both Wadsworth and Heavenly Sunday both have big shots Saturday,” Cox continued. “She’s a Grade 1 winner and a very consistent filly.”Ĭox’s other Saturday stakes starters are Wadsworth as the 9-5 favorite in the American Derby and Heavenly Sunday, the 5-2 second choice in the Tepin Stakes. “I think the mile-and-an-eighth distance in the Fleur de Lis should suit her well,” Cox said. He likes to come from off the pace but has been training well at Churchill out of the Arlington Stakes (G3).”Ī Mo Reay was tabbed as the 8-5 favorite in the Fleur de Lis (G2) where she will take on a well-matched field of eight fillies and mares. We’ll see how the pace shakes out in this race. “He’s such a cool horse and developed into a barn favorite,” Cox said. The other featured races on the program are the Fleur de Lis (G2), the Wise Dan (G2), the listed American Derby the listed Kelly’s Landing and the Tepin.Ĭox also will send Set Piece to post in the Wise Dan Stakes as the heavy 4-5 morning-line favorite. The Stephen Foster is the centerpiece of a six-pack of stakes events Saturday at Ellis Park. Run at 1 1/8 miles, the Stephen Foster will go as Race 10 of 12 at 5:26 p.m. I think he got a lot out of that race and fits well moving forward in the Foster.” He was impressive at Fair Grounds this winter and ran well last time at Churchill. “He’s the type of horse that likes to be either on the lead or sit just off the leader’s hip. “I think the pace could set up well for him in the Foster,” Cox said. Before the Alysheba, West Will Power dominated six rivals by 4 3/4 lengths in the New Orleans Classic (G2) at Fair Grounds. West Will Power dueled on the lead in the $600,000 Alysheba Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs but gave way late to Smile Happy. In the Stephen Foster, West Will Power was tabbed as the 7-2 second choice on the morning-line odds behind Lucky Seven Stable’s multiple graded stakes-winning colt Smile Happy (3-1). “We’ve got five entered in the stakes Saturday and two stakes starters on Sunday with Zozos (in the Hanshin Stakes) and Squire Creek (in the Maxfield).” There are some really fun races and we have a lot of horses ready to compete from our barn,” Cox said Wednesday from his Churchill Downs base. “We’re looking forward to this weekend at Ellis.
