With our last 2 horses leaving Ocala today, we are finally settled for the Summer!
Beverly's Spirit has been taking it easy in Ocala the last few days and will resume training on Thursday at Westampton. I want to thank Christy and Ashley who did such a great job with her. I'm sure that we will have many more young horses for them to work with in the future.
Angry Dragon is also scheduled to resume training on Thursday at Westampton after arriving from Ocala. She is going to go on an accelerated training schedule, using both traditional galloping as well as some aquatic training mixed in.
Hippocrates Jones ran a good race last week at Atlantic City to be 4th, only one jump from being 3rd in his return to the grass. His latest effort only a few weeks after a promising 2nd at Parx signals that he may be rounding to his best form.
Prospect Knight worked 48.81 at Parx yesterday, his first work since his narrow loss a few weeks ago. We decided since he had run hard all fall and winter that a brief freshening was in order and the time off seems to have done him a lot of good. I had him a tick faster (48.60) and caught him galloping out in 101.60. He will work 5 furlongs next weekend and is being pointed to a race at Parx the following week.
Rochelle Rochelle has been particularly sharp lately and demonstrated that sharpness with a 46.75 drill yesterday morning. Under Jockey Casey Fusilier, she broke off at the half mile pole and quickly chased down a horse that had unknowingly broke off in front of her. She cooled out fine and is being pointed to a pair of races on the 17th.
Six Clicks has been training at Westampton since his 2nd place finish at Parx a few weeks back. We are looking for a similar spot for his next race.
Wasabi Yacht had his 1st work last Wednesday, going 3 furlongs over a deep surface at Westampton in 40. His shins have been a little sore since and we have done some swimming with him in lieu of track work. Hopefully they will settle down enough to get him back on track this weekend.
Normandruth has resumed activity, doing some swimming, jogging on the euroxsizer and spending time on the equivibe plate. He will start galloping again next week and hopefully will return to the races this Summer.
Lyle's Angel is scheduled to work on Wednesday at Westampton. She has been doing better lately and seems to be moving more freely since we started putting her on the equivibe plate prior to training everyday.
Cascade's Comet has been training great. She is up to jogging 1 1/4 and galloping 3/4's daily. We did try to swim her but that plan backfired so off to the track we went. She has exceeded my expectations for her at this point in her training.
Sligolicious has moved to Parx to begin the final phase of his training. He will gallop all this week and next week we will give him an easy work. We are looking at getting him back to the races mid-June.
Goon Squad has settled into her training routine at Westampton nicely. She is still learning the territory and we aren't asking her to do much outside of gain experience.
Southern Access had her 1st real work at Parx on Saturday. She went 26 for a quarter, dragging her rider after a horse in front of her. She was hardly blowing afterwards and we will maintain a once a week work schedule for her for the near future.
Double Edged Sword recently had the ultimate equipment change and has been jogging to get in shape following the long layoff.
Brad's Kitten disappointed last week for the 2nd time since coming North. We are going to make a few adjustments and look to find a softer spot.
Lady Thief got the go ahead to resume light training and has been jogging for 10 minutes on the euroxsizer.
Red Baroness has been galloping at Westampton and should be ready to have an easy breeze next week.
Slumber Smarty has also been galloping at Westampton and will work with Red Baroness.
Hemissesu sustained a cut to her hock and missed several days which has put her about a week behind the other fillies.
Big Shake and The Magic Bus were both recently retired.
Fusachi Pretty ran a much improved race over the grass at Atlantic City and we will look for a turf race toward the end of May for her.
Target Practice worked well at Parx on Saturday and is set to run next Monday in a $7500 nw4 life race.
Peace N Quiet arrived from Turf Paradise this week. That is a very long ship and she was quite tired when she got in.
Mizz Liza never had a chance when she broke a step slow and was forced 8 wide in the 1st turn at Atlantic City last weekend. She will get another shot on the 21st in a maiden claiming race at Parx.
