Ship's Cabin raced very greenly today at Arlington Park in his career debut. He broke a step slow and veered in sharply avoiding the horse outside him who broke to the inside at the start. After spotting the field 12 or so lengths he wasn't thrilled at the prospect of getting at that polydirt kicked in his face so Zimmerman steered him to the outside. Still far back and wide at the head of the stretch he made a run while gawking at the grandstand throughout the stretch run. He finished 9th and last beaten 9 lengths which really wasn't that bad considering the trouble he encountered and the fact that the race went 1:10.32 after quick fractions. He will be better for the experience and may find his home on the turf where there is considerably less kickback and what he is really bred for. Chart of the race

Cool Clue, Bubble Berry, Bob's Bean and Basketwoman all left CDT this morning for Bluegrass Equine Center for varying degrees of R & R. Albin and Colonel Klink shipped to Arlington where they will finish up their preparations for their debuts. The remainder of the stable will ship Monday afternoon to Churchill's barn 36 for the summer. We are planning quite a few works for Sunday morning and will report how those went later tomorrow morning.
