Aldebutante suffered through a horrible trip in her first start at Belmont this afternoon. She broke a step slow, was checked not too far out of the gate, checked again going into the turn and slammed at the top of the stretch while in tight. Hopefully she will come out of the race ok and gt back to the races at Keeneland.
Ship's Cabin showed a bit of talent on Saturday at Arlington Park without any of his usual stunts. Equipped with blinkers and jockey Tim Thornton for the first time, he broke alertly and assumed the lead soon after the start. He tired a bit in the stretch and was hampered when the horse on the rail came out into his path forcing him to steady hard. He re-rallied to be 4th and the stewards disallowed the jockeys claim of foul against the third place finisher. Though it was a little frustrating to have some traffic trouble he displayed speed and determination and will probably run back on opening day at Keeneland, October 3rd.
Appoint, Normanruth, Carl S. and Comeback all worked 3 furlongs at CDT and may advance to four furlongs next weekend. Makutus worked a sharp 100.80 under no urging from Cherie and looks like he will also run on opening day at Keeneland. Richwood Silver is scheduled to work tomorrow morning.
