Friday update

It has been a long time since we last updated the blog and there are a few changes. First we have launched www.chucksimonracing.com and this blog can be found there as well as a bunch of new things. We have had a few horses leave the stable and have greeted some of our new 2 year olds and well as moving a division to Arlington Park for the summer.

Comeback is making his comeback race on Sunday at Churchill Downs. This will be his first race after the ultimate equipment change (gelding) and he has been training really well. Jon Court will ride him from post position number four in the 10th race which is a maiden $30000 race going seven furlongs.

Fading Light took a tough beat yesterday in the finale at Arlington Park. She moved to the lead turning for home but got nailed right at the wire by the 6/5 favorite. It was a good effort on short rest for her and she seemed to come out of the race in good shape.

Operetta Italiano worked well this morning at Arlington Park after her unusual debut where the jockey simply fell off in the first turn. She went a half mile in 48 under a strong hold and looks like she is fine after the strange incident.

Colonel Klink worked a strong six furlongs in 112 at AP this morning also. We have been working on getting him to relax in the races and come from off the pace and he seems to be responding to a different type of training.
