Can see him in the 3rd & 4th slots...remember Hard Spun likes an "off track" too!

Something about Hard Spun, I like. I can't put my finger on it, but I do like him. Lunch time is almost here. I will be looking at the PPs and will let you know what I come up with. I do my best reviewing of the PPs at lunchtime.

I wish I could get Buck into a frame! When we start prepping for our "TRAINING" level dressage, he is going to get a neck stretcher put on! He is NOT going to like it. But he has to learn somehow. He was never taught to "frame" up so we are going to try it for a bit (like 5 min increments) with him having it on and me giving him the cues to "frame" up. Here's hoping he doesn't get so pissed that he lives up to his name.

That may be next. We are going to start off slowly with him just at the walk.

I know he can frame up because when I am walking to him with treats he frames up beautifully and gives me little nickers. (MY FAVE THING BY THE WAY. I LIVE FOR THOSE NICKERS)

If this board is any indication, Hard Spun is going to go off at like 5-1 tomorrow.

I like him to fill out the bottom of exotics, though.

I hope he runs next to last. Assface doesn't belong in the derby.
