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. |

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. NCT

If you can watch the head-on angle, about 1/2 of the way down the stretch Diego went to the left-handed whip about three times in a row and she responded by swerving hard to the right. Rider then had to check/steady her to keep her from running into the horse to her outside. At this point it looked like Diego eased up on her the rest of the way home. Half way down the stretch she looked to have a good chance for a 3rd place finish until this happend. She was out of the frame when this happend on the live video feed at the track. Only visible in the head-on. Anyway, good to see "pills", and spend the afternoon with Chuck and Dave. Dave's a soldier for flying in and out and braving the cold for the race on a cold and windy day in Florence, KY |

Benny: Did you get to go to the Cinn/ND game last night? Good outcome for the home team. The northern KY cold has made its way east to the mid atlantic. |

Chuck received Rampillion's blood work back today and there were indeed 2 problems. Her red count was quite low and she shows a thyroid imbalance as well. Both non-issues moving forward and easily addressed with supplements but she won't run back immediately on the 19th. Added to the lost training time, this news goes a long way towards understanding the dull effort Wednesday and her being so tired after the race..
More from Chuck tonight after he gets home from Inki Blandford's 3rd today TP.
