Chuck received Rampillion's blood work back today and there were indeed 2 problems. Her red count was quite low and she shows a thyroid imbalance as well. Both non-issues moving forward and easily addressed with supplements but she won't run back immediately on the 19th. Added to the lost training time, this news goes a long way towards understanding the dull effort Wednesday and her being so tired after the race..
More from Chuck tonight after he gets home from Inki Blandford's 3rd today TP.
