We have not had much luck lately with the weather as it has been so cold early in the morning the track has been filled with hard clods which have made training a challenge. We finally got some warmer temperatures today but rain came along with it. Since the weather is going to turn very cold again tomorrow we decided to work several of the horses this morning despite the muddy conditions.
Colonel Klink and Cool Clue had their second work of the lay off, going three furlongs in 37.20 both under good holds. They both handled the mud fine and galloped out in 50.40.
Rampillion was very sharp and went four furlongs in 48.40 also under a tight hold. Amethyst Rose went the same distance in 49.80 and while handling the footing fine she did get a little tired galloping out.
Carl S. went great, covering the half mile in 49.60 while galloping out in 103. This was his first work since his race and he looks like he is progressing nicely.
Richwood Silver worked in 49, galloping out in 102.30 and finishing strong while under control as opposed to her occasional attempts to run off early in the work.
Comeback has done some gate work since his work in 50.20 last Thursday and continues to train well. We are going to work him out of the gate on Friday weather permitting.
Graphite Halo did not get in the grass maiden race on Thanksgiving and they did not bring the race back as an extra. We will point her to a maiden turf race at the Fair Grounds in December.
Normanruth has been galloping and we continue to work on his immune system which is tough in such erratic weather.
