An update on the two horses in this thread. Heliskier worked this morning for the first time since his debacle race where he went to his knees at the start and finished last and was vanned off. He breezed a slow four furlongs in 50.20 seconds. Connections say he is ok but they will take time with him getting back to the races and have no specific race targeted at this time.
Bourbon County's situation is more interesting. He was pointing to the Victor Myers stake, a $50,000 race restricted to 3 yr. old Minnesota breds scheduled to be run on the 4th of July. The race only drew two other entries and had to be scrapped. Instead he has been entered in an open allowance race on the same day facing 3yr. old and up horses for about half the purse, Good bye free money.

He shouldn't have any problems with that field.

Disappointing effort from Bourbon County, running 2nd at 1-5, though somehow the jock got him trapped between horses most of the race. In my opinion, dueling between horses is an often overlooked poor trip.
