Monday Update

Albin worked very well out of the gate on Saturday morning, getting 5 furlongs in 101 and being approved by the starter to make his debut next Sunday on the grass at Arlington Park. Ship's Cabin also worked Saturday morning under jockey Tim Thornton, going a half mile in 48.40 while wearing some new equipment. We put a modified extention blinker on him along with rubber figure eight and a stronger bit. This seemed to help as he stayed on the rail throughout the entire work, never showing any desire to get out until he was pulling up. E Major worked this morning with jockey E.T. Baird aboard. She went in 49.20 for the four furlongs and galloped out really well. E.T. thought she was traveling well and TC thought that a few changes we have made with her shoes have helped her. She is still pointing to a maiden grass sprint for her next start on the 22nd.
