Like I said. Give her some time off and sort out what is bothering her.
She's acting like herself... I wouldn't be too confident that the time off is going to cure her mediocrity. She ran exactly 1. count it 1, fast race in her career. There are maybe 15 sophomore fillies faster than her. And it's April. She was good at the right time to be juvy filly champ. And hats off to Chris Paasch and the late Charlie Cono for capitalizing on it.

As for a topic more important than IEAH's disappointment, people wishing to show their appreciation for Mr. Cono should consider gifts to the 2 charities with which he was closely associated and to which he gave and left millions... They both are involved in difficult work.

FRESH START.

Fresh Start Surgical Gifts provides free reconstructive plastic surgery and related medical services to disadvantaged children and young people with physical deformities. I believe Chris Paasch told me Cono founded this organization.

TERI.

TERI (Training, Education & Research Institute) is a private, non-profit agency serving the needs of children and adults with autism and other developmental and learning disabilities, and their families.
