2/4 (TP): Rampillion draws #10, Race 3

She was dull beforehand and got very tired. Afterwards in the receiving barn she laid down and sprawled out which you rarely see, especially when a horse isn't in its own stall. We have attempted to keep her moving but jogging in the barn simply isnt enough exercise for some horses. The problem is that if we dont keep her racing then we fall further and further behind with the lack of training. CDT and the other dirt tracks in KY have been pretty much unusable for the last month while TP has only missed a few days of training. Unless the weather turns soon we may go another few weeks without much training.

Great to see Chuck, TC and Benny on this very cold Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately not the outcome we were hoping for today, but we live to race another day. Photos will be posted upon my return to VA tomorrow.

Here's to some warmer weather.

Chuck,

Don't know the in's and out's and clearly the logistics are not ideal, but what about using the Kee Poly or Kee Training Track to get the work in? Have heard the Kee training Track does wonders for many.

You can only work there if you are stabled there. Even when the meet is going on your are not allowed to ship in just to work. The only way to get works in when not stabled there is to ship in to another trainer and leave the horse there for a couple of days.

As Cherie said above they wont let us in to work and they have not even been allowing the trainers there to use the training track this winter. Saving on maintenance and outrider costs supposedly.
