We try to instill talent in our horses. Could Satchmo tell us what to do and how we get there?

Training:
Thurs. 10/30 Off
Fri: 10/31 Art: gallops 1.6 miles under tack. first sustained gallop in about 3 weeks. a little weak.
Rod: 1.6 miles trot-gallop. Horse was galloped about 200 yards at a time. Rod then did 1.5 miles riderless work--.5 miles trot then 1 mile slow gallop.
Sat. 11/1 Phew. November is here!
Art: 1.6 miles gallop interrupted by lead change failures, but, much stronger then yesterday.
Rod: 1.6 miles planned to be mostly gallop but suddenly a visit by a flock of wild turkeys out for a stroll. Rod spots Turkey #1 while being saddled which he mistakes for a small lion. Then #2, #3 and so on, must have been 20 in all, running right across his site path. When Nob got him out in the field birds were all over, scurrying and darting and beating their wings. I'm unsure who was more worried about whom horse/birds or birds/horse. All the bird action eliminated some of the planned gallop though the two year old pretty much kept his cool. Nevertheless Rod did get his first sustained faster gallop in. He's figured it out. Nob came back complaining. Tired of dodging critters every night, and we need to start earlier. Oh well! Hopefully the weather will hold. I'
