This week's works

We have had a tough week weather wise as the week began with freezing temperatures, had a nice rainstorm in the middle and ended with 70 degree temperatures. Needless to say it has been a bit challenging trying to devise and implement training schedules especially with the track being closed 2 days for the Christmas break (did not know that Dec 24th is now considered a holiday but CD's world it is). We did get some galloping in and we were able to get most of our works in this weekend and in the end it wasn't so bad.

Carl S. had an easy half mile work today in 51.40 at CDT in preparation for his next start which is scheduled for the 31st at Turfway going 1 mile. This will be his first start around two turns and that style of race should suit him better than the sprints.

Appoint and Comeback went five furlongs in 104.80 in steady fashion, never being asked for speed over the muddy surface. Both appear ready to start with Comeback likely making his debut at Turfway on the 8th or 9th and Appoint being pointed for the 17th at FG.

Colonel Klink went in company with Amethyst Rose, getting the half mile in 51 and galloping out in 103.80. Both went in hand with the rider of Amethyst Rose having to work a little at the end to keep pace with the large strides of Colonel Klink. Both are getting fitter and are not far from being ready either.

Cool Clue went a really easy half mile in 52.80. This was his first work without company and he was a bit lost starting out but picked it up down the stretch. He was getting a little behind Colonel Klink and we need to get him to work properly instead of simply chasing the company.

Graphite Halo went in 104.20 in a maintenance move for her. She is being pointed to a grass race at the Fair Grounds on January 5th.

Rampillion went an easy half mile in 51.20 in preparation for her next race on January 2 at Turfway Park.

Richwood Silver worked her usual fast work going 48.40 for four furlongs. She is being pointed to a race at Turfway Park on the 4th.

Fading Light and Kickin n Screamin had their first strong gallops since returning to the track from BEC. They are fresh and should be ready to roll towards the end of January.

Inki Blandford galloped well and has come out of his third place finish in good shape. His next start may be on the 22nd.

Makutus is being pointed for a $7500 nw3 races on the 14th.

Normanruth galloped well and is about ready to start working once again.

Sugarland Star has been a little sick but has started galloping again.

Albin continues to be an aquatic star in the Aqua Pacer and will be returning to racetrack training next week.

Basketwoman has a lot of Aqua Pacer miles under her belt and will be returning to the track in February.

Campaneris will also start track training again shortly.

Jacques Sparrow has done well in the Aqua Pacer and is looking at a spring return to the track as has Posse Valley and Sumwonlovesyou.


Operetta Italiano is doing really well and will be returning to the track in mid-January. 

Shades of Hope is pointing to an early February start at Turfway Park.

The soon to be two year olds plans are becoming clearer also.
Hippocrates Jones, Reddington, and the Medallist colt are heading to Ocala on January 5th. Rochelle Rochelle, Mizz Lizz, Chief Pale Face, the Thunder Gulch and Big Shake are all at Rea's and will be heading down to Ocala afterwards. Gondorf, Hostillian, the other two Smarty Jones colts, the Northern Afleet filly, Probation Charlie and the other Medallist filly will soon be on training of some sort also.
