Pretty lowkey day, it was Tuesday. Those in attendance:

Bigsmc
31lengths + GIDDYAP (Leo's Mom) & Dad
AeWingnut
57Rick and GF
Heels1999 (not sure on that number Dave, but I think I'm close.).
Rudeboyelvis + Mom & Dad
Cannon Shell
Stickney Bob (friend of mine, not a DT member..don't know if he even owns a computer) & Wife.

Chamber of Commerce weather, but the turf was still quite soft as evidenced by the very slow times of the races.

KNS was on her toes and tough to handle, just as she was in her first outing for DT. She came over to the paddock already blinkered as they were quite difficult to put on after saddling in her first race. TC and Socks got that part out of the way at the barn. She didn't go crazy during saddling, but she was a handful. Chuck held on to her while TC gave the saddling a try. She had Socks pretty well worn out from the walk over. Even getting Rosemary up was a bit of a challenge as Chuck was walking her to keep her calm while TC and Rosie tried to keep up. Once she hit the track she remained on her toes, but in a good way. She came back from the race looking good and bounced back to the barn.

I think most did okay at the windows. Wingnut hit the tri in the first race. Heels and myself hit the dd. Nobody had Later Gator ($36) later in the card. The rest of the day was single digit payouts for the winners so it was tough sledding trying to turn a profit.

A good time was had by all. Slightly disappointing, but promising as we know we have a hard trying mare.
