5/30: KNS #3 for AP 4th
 

In the 2nd part of today's ongoing series of updates/good news, Kickin N Screamin indicated that she is ready to run with a :49.0 half mile over the Arlington Polytrack Saturday.

Chuck is watching for a spot for the 6 year old Chester House mare.

may 30th
5 k claiming
7 furlongs

This gives me a valid excuse to either go by myself or tell the Mrs she's going to the track again next w/e :tro:

Is that race confirmed, or when do they draw?

Thanks in advance!

Draw Wednesday

This seems like a step down for her - is this just the state of racing and what is available? Are we trying to build her confidence with a win? Are we hoping someone claims her?

IMO, a 7.5k N3L at TP to an open 5k at AP is not necessarily a step down.

Chuck or Steve may say otherwise, but as soon as you loose that "Lifetime" tag on a race, the competition gets much tougher, even at a slightly lower claiming price.

Lets see how deep the race is, before you worry about a claim. ;)

ah ha - thanks for the clarification - I keep forgetting about the conditions and moving through them.

they are using kicken's race, they draw in 60 mins, colonel klink will also be running

Chuck entered this morning... we'll get notice pretty soon. This is an appropriate spot for KNS. She can win at the level, and may or may not be viewed as a worthwhile claim. She's been great for us of course, but being inconsistent and unpredictable, she likely isn't going to be seen as a viable claim. Best to run her in races she can win. And of course, having a horse like her makes it possible for us to do fun things like we did at Atlantic City.

Just as an added beni, weather is predicted to be perfect for this w/e.
