Albin ran really well in his first non-maiden start on Thursday at Tampa. After being a little rank in the early stages, jockey Junior Alvarado got him settled in behind the leaders down the backside. Albin moved to the lead entering the stretch and was all out trying to hold off Corredor Dela Isla, eventually settling for second, losing by a neck. That same horse had beaten Albin by 3 last summer at Arlington.
Chart of Albin's race
Target Practice ran terrible yesterday in the Private Terms Stakes at Laurel. He looked great and was on his toes in the paddock prior to the race. Target Practice broke alertly was was sitting a nice trip second a length off the early leader. However heading into the turn he came under pressure and did not respond, "stopping abruptly" according to the official chart. A scope afterwards revealed that he has a pretty signifigant lung infection.
Rochelle Rochelle has advanced in her training and she is now galloping at a little quicker pace as she recovers from a nasty skin condition. She will breeze next week and we are pointing for a start early at Arlington.
Appoint worked her first 5/8ths off the layoff on Tuesday in 103.20 at the Classic Mile. She is advancing towards her first start since her third place finish in the Hoosier Breeders Sophmore Stakes last October.
Colonel Klink continues to train well as he readies for an April 9th start at Keeneland. He worked an easy 50.10 this past Tuesday and will work 5 furlongs this week.
Cool Clue is looking for a spot that fits. There are some interesting races on the grass at Atlantic City next month for him but we need to find a bridge race for that. I am not conviced he is a grass horse but I would love to try him on it to see how he handles it. If he runs well on the grass it opens up a lot of options for him.
Gondorf had some work done on his feet this weekend and will be getting a few easy days before resuming regular training.
Graphite Halo had a nice work on Thursday going 51.30 over a soggy turf course at the Classic Mile. She is now being pointed to an race on April 23 at Atlantic City. That race is a starter allowance for fillies that have started for less than $12500 and not won two races going 1 mile and 40 yards on the turf.
Hippocrates Jones went an easy half mile in 51.20 on the dirt at the Classic Mile. He will work Tuesday on the grass going another half mile.
Missus Mayflower is still battling a sore shin.
Mizz Liza had her scan this week which revealed signifigant healing in her leg. She has been getting turned out in the sand round pen as the first step on her recovery.
Redboard King is training great. He went 5 furlongs in 103.10 on Wednesday finishing very well after a slow first quarter.
Ships Cabin has been out of form lately and his coat has gone bad. We will let him get healthy before looking to run him again.
Rolled Up ran an even 5th in his return to the races last week at Philly. There are some interesting New Jersey bred races for him at the upcoming Atlantic City meeting.
Big Shake is doing fine and will start again at Tampa before going north.
Slumber Smarty, Hemissesu, Angry Dragon and noname are all training fine.
