The morning after

[Riot]

Thanks for the update, glad she's doing okay this morning, and seems happy in herself

I couldn't believe the great physical change that's occured in her over the past few weeks - she's bigger, far better and more evenly muscled, seems better balanced rear to front in her muscling, coat looks much better. You can tell she's been fitted up for distance vs sprint <g>

Yesterday you were mentioning the jocks comments after the race, can you repeat those? I think you said he told you she did switch leads readily for him?

It was GREAT meeting everyone yesterday, I really had alot of fun with the fellow DT'ers, and of course huge thanks to Chuck and Steve, both gracious and open, for giving us this wonderful, fun opportunity to have a more vested interest in the sport

Graham said he did not have any problems with her leads. Said she ducked out when the horse crossed over in front of her at the top of the stretch. Thought she may like a firmer course.

I watched the replay a couple times this morning, yes, I can see that now. Did he feel she was rating well for him? Can't tell from the replay on the net.

Is Cherie happy with how her girl is doing?

Just from what I saw... it took a while. He gave her a jerk or two about a third of the way down the stretch and she finally went over to the right one.



That Quiet Action stayed on the wrong lead all the way down the stretch.

I don't know "exactly" when she switched....I just know she crossed the finish line hitting with her left.

That's good stuff.
Though i'm not a partner on this adventure, I wish all the best.
Heck, I've had some clunkers....too many.
It's a tough game.
Thanks for the thrills, and please keep her happy.
Hope is just around the next turn, and then it all comes down the stretch.
Good luck!
