Hud,

We've been told both will run, even if the race comes off.

Rain has been pelting NYC and they will almost certainly be off Wednesday. We'll see about Pal. Gary may opt to SCR and look for another shot at turf before the racing office packs it in for the year. Can always come back on the dry main track at a sprint distance. Mott almost never come out of off turf races, but we'll wait for his decision too..

MY PAL OF PALS a scratch. Gary feels the main track is too messy and there remains a decent chance that there will be a little more turf racing next week. If we're going to run PAL on the main, let's do it on a fast, dry track and at whatever distance suits (6f-1m)..

TOY CANNON will run..

There goes my ex box.. rats

does he have a mud foot? or is he flat ?

whats the difference he is a shoe in

believe is a good decision to scr the Pal, we KNOW from debut he doesn't care much for the muddy stuff - best of luck to the DT Toy Cannon partners, safe trips to all!

opened 4-1...
 

and 4th choice in double...interesting!

boy he walked out of the gate, but looked to be making ground up late

Yeah, looked like he was flying at the end, but that break killed him.

Slow start. I agree - looked like a decent finish. He looks great ... that we know.

clockin feet in the rain
 

you are murdering the king's english.

A harmless debut and it's out of the way. As the guys noted above, poor start -- horse next to him was very fractious -- but got untracked late and finished with interest. Came back good. More tomorrow..

We might be looking back at this race as a KEY race. That was a salty group for November

Any update on how the Cannon is doing after last week's race?

Any word on how TC's doing? I noticed he hasn't worked since the race.

He's doing great. Is in Florida at the farm Paul Pompa uses and was gelded last week. Paul's vet/advisor thinks he will benefit from it tremendously. Will be staying on the farm into January before joining Mott's string at Payson Park to get ready for turf action in the spring in New York.

Anybody know how soon workouts could resume for Toy Cannon after gelding? I've been watching but haven't seen anything yet. Wasn't sure to expect weeks or months.

I was back to work on Monday after being gelded.
