Dave - I think you may have talked me into it........Looking at making the trip down!

Flights are sadly very expensive but I will keep monitoring them. This is a double header I hate to miss.

Going to the doubleheader
 

Heels convinced me, Karen & I are making the trip down on Friday.......it won't hurt missing a few days @ the Spa. Hey, it's a long meet anyway!......... ;)

safe travels to all.

Barn Visit
 

Just got back from a barn visit with Joe and Mark. We got to see Susan work Graphite Halo. All of the horses are quiet and happy. Finally got to meet Missus Mayflower - she is the sweetest little thing, built like a quarter horse and has a lovely demeanor. Kickin N Screamin looks unbelievably good. She is actually relaxed. Susan took her out to graze and she enjoyed finding the sweet pieces of grass. We took lots of pictures and will load them up later. Tony Black hung out with us at the barn and went to the track with us while Susan worked Graphite Halo. It was a real education watching horses work and getting Tony's espertise while we watched.

Looking forward to the race later this afternoon. Safe travels to all who are heading this way, looks to be another gorgeous day.

pressed 24 - 48
quit

strange - tony got her out of the gate sharply (always does a great job!) then poooooooof like the air goin out of a balloon - notice she wasn't particuarly screamin in the paddock, hope everything is okay, will wait to hear more...

That was not good. She was well placed but was through very early. maybe a return to turf/poly in her future?

August break at PHA is well-timed as Kickin N Screamin will get turned out a couple months. Was just not that interested in staying on according to Tony. Scoped clean and couldn't be sounder, so at age 7 she may just need an away-from-track freshening.

More from Chuck...

Sounds good. I know she's only had one bad race with no excuse, but 7 is starting to get old for this.

I wondered about this.

When do we start thinking about retirement for KnS?

This is probably quite premature. Horses at this level can run for many more years. Steve said she is sound. Some time off and cooler temps will probably help. A retunr to her preferred surface may help as well.

I wouldn't write her off just yet.

Paul

good year bad year
low level claimers do that sorta thing

it's up to chuck
when she can't make enough to keep her in oats and shoes
