Well, a tough day but an enjoyable one spent with friends at one of the premiere venues for horse racing in the country.
American Dream'a was running a great race and making her move, then just stopped. Coa said he thought there was something wrong with her because she was full of run and quit - thinking she may have bled, we scoped her after the race and found her lungs full of mucous - she looked a little washed out in the paddock and that may have been why. Too Much Zip just looked as though she wanted no part of it yesterday...Can't really explain the effort, she looked as though she was throwing her head a bit in the stretch, don't know if the heat got to her (didn't seem to bother the winner) or if maybe increasing her Lasix (had her on a minimal dose) may help... Disappointing to say the least, especially after going off as the favorite in the nightcap - but that's the way this game goes...like they say, the highest highs and the lowest lows... And for an encore the flight leaving JFK for Tampa was delayed 5 hours getting in at 2 am instead of the scheduled 10:15pm...needless to say, work has been a joy this morning   lol
