7/26 (CT): Rampillion runs 3rd, is claimed..

While Rampillion certainly did her job well for us she is limited talentwise and isnt not without her own physical limitations/issues. The claim was not totally expected however it is always a possibility for an in-form horse with conditions at the lower levels. I don't follow CT very much and have no idea who the people who claimed her are including the trainer.

losing Pills is tough for me. she'd gotten to be my favorite in the stable. she ran her heart out every race. i got to see her first race for Dee Tee, the win and today's claim. good luck to Pills with her new connections.

Thanks to linda a. for her work for Dee Tee.

another good day with partners dave b. and his dad, randy s. and his wife and tom b.

Another fun DT outing. Thanks to everyone involved today. I think Dave said it best. In one weekend DT has seen a full range of the swings this game brings. From a disappointment of last place finish to the excitement of a win to the dismay of an unexpected claim. Good luck Pills

Just feel kinda empty this evening. I became a big fan of Ramps from our first visit last fall. She may not be the biggest or most talented filly out there, but I always appreciated how she gave us an honest, hard running effort each start. Her win at Delaware was one of those special days I will never forget. And being able to visit her at Bowie was a great treat as well.

Though I will miss her running under the Lime Green and Blue Dots, I wish Ramps and her new connections much luck and continued success.

Overall, still a fun day at Charles Town as its always enjoyable to spend a day at the track with fellow partners, family and friends.

Just wanted to thank everyone in Dee Tee Stables for the opportunity to train Rampillion. She was a nice filly and was in great shape when she arrived from Chuck's barn. It was great meeting all of you who came out to her three start here in the east. I hope to see you all around sometime.

Heartfelt thanks to Linda Albert for her willingness to get involved in the 'Dee Tee experience' and for the terrific performance of Rampillion in her care. Everyone who made the trips to Delaware, Bowie and Charles Town had memorable times, and the Mid-Atlantic expirement can only be termed a complete success. Thanks have to be added prominantly to Tom Baldwin (phystech) for initiating the program, and we hope to turn around and find a new runner for Linda quickly.

Hi LInda - thanks for taking such good care of our girl. She looked good in all of her starts with you.I am sorry that I never got down to one of her races. Looking forward to the next horse.

Please keep us posted with any news of Rampillion in that circuit.

Thanks again.

Great pictures Dave - I love #9 where she is sticking out her tongue. Thanks for posting these.
