Kinda feels like sending our kid off to college.
:D

I'm sending two of my own off to college this week...

For some reason I feel more comfortable with Toy Cannon's state of readiness.

Looking forward to it! (Toy Cannon, that is.)

I may make the trip north at the end of the week will I be able to get on the backside to see him?

Be aware that he's at Belmont..

Ok I would like to make the trip to see him

Lava - pics and a progress report on TC would be appreciated if possible.

Thanks.

I am not going to be able to make it I have to work:mad:

Mott is taking his time with him and sent him north with the Belmont barn now filled with the runners that were in SAR for the meet. He is a big, two turn type of colt, and Bill said they will start to lean on him more in coming weeks..

Steve, is it possible for us local partners to vist Bill Mott's barn to see Toy Cannon?

Of course.. Will send Email out with specifics.

Anybody have updates on TC?

I've been watching the works and he appears to be getting better each time out (then again, I don't really know what this could mean).

Thanks.

Will Toy Cannon be going south to Payson with Mott when Oklahoma closes??

Dave!

First and foremost, how you feeling?

Toy Cannon is going to Belmont next and will work a few times there and then a decision will be made by Bill about going to Florida for the winter where he may be given a 60-75 turnout to mature. While he is 100% sound, Mott is getting a little frustrated with the colt who has been difficult to motivate in the mornings.

Spare the rod..spoil the child? Trouble getting motivated in the AM?:zz:

Steve,
I have completed treatments and hopefully now on the long road to recovery.
.....mmmm the workouts r not real inspiring....even considering how deep and slow Oklahoma can be

a winter in Florida and then run him as a 3yo mdn in NY come spring


[On Edit the work on 10/21/ in 50 & 1 (possibly in company with Refining, a msw winner from 9/4) isnt so bad]
