odd things sometimes seem to happen in these four-horse races, and nope there's nothing wrong with a paycheck - have the vid on looks like a decent sunny day there - safe trips and good luck Ausable and Dee Tee !

A complete non-factor in fourth. No one was beating the winner but I had hoped to see something more from this effort.

Shame that was a good spot with only 4 in the race.

hmm, interesting effort. Anxious for Steve's report. And boy was Smokin' Artie's Gal quick.....

Just back from barn where Ausable returned well. Cut her left hind at the coronet but otherwise 100% fine and energetic. Junior said she felt great but wouldn't run up at all when asked. Very frustrating for her to work the way she has the last three weeks and then be so tentative in a race.

The first thing to do is take the blinkers off, which Gary had considered for today. But since she had been so sharp working in them, he was inclined to give her another chance with them. But working alone in blinks with no horses around is very different than in a race, and she may want to see things happening around her as opposed to hearing them. Certainly there is no benefit to continuing with the blinkers after the 2 non-efforts in them.

Let's see if she perks up in another main track try 'hood off'. If she doesn't, we'll take Feb-March off and come back in spring looking for grass.

Let's go Lloyd !! Good luck to all today...safe trip for Lloyd and all travelling

Good Luck DT'ers!...The Dobler rules!
 

Looks awesome today....see you at the windows! :$:

gl to dr paul also a 3/5 finish would be great :$:

if dt beats darley ill laugh my ass off

Not a bad run he just wouldnt change leads..

Another fourth but this was not a bad effort. Lloyd had tons of traffic troubles and was still trying at the end. Definately something to build on.

Paul

I wouldnt call it a ton of trouble and he certainly was clear long enough to make his run and didnt. He wouldnt change leads and didnt like the dirt hitting him in the face. He seems to have lost his gate speed which he had earlier in his career. There is still class relief available.

1.13 for 6f's lets see the rest of the days 6f results

The gals went 1.12.2 so I dont think the 1st race is going to get much of a BSF..Unfortunately

Hi Steve

Any update on Lloyd from his race last week?
