Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Will you get to see her on her visit?

Ah, no. She's travelling to see other people. Hussy.

TEXAS!!! That's where! WE HAVE A SPARE ROOM!!

Huh. Would you go figure?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

ABC's coverage of The Belmont is depressing. So far, they've covered a dead trainer and a paralyzed jockey, and I've only been watching for 10 minutes.

Don't tell them you are bringing kid?

She'd be hard to miss on check-in. I went ahead and booked blind on Hotwire. We'll see how that works out!

Also depressing, the existence of a horse named First Dude.

Eh, get one of those fancy dog-carriers and stuff her in. Tell 'em she's a new gene-spliced "humadoodle."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Most hotels won't charge you extra for a kid unless you need a cot or a crib. (The online reservation systems will count her as an extra person, but if you tell them on the phone that she's five they'll waive the fee.)

And now a trainer with MS.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, dear god, what the hell is that child singing? It's not New York, New York.

You can probably tell I don't travel much. Or at all, really.

Meh. I've booked, and I didn't have to deal with the phone, so it is what it is. You'd think online systems would be smart enough to recognize that, considering they ask her age specifically to account for that.

(And the place we got has really good reviews. Parking costs are insane, but there's public parking that's half the price on the same block, so we'll avoid the valet charges and just park there.)
