Thurs. Misc.

"Ho! quoth the Knight (to the Monk who has just completed his desultory tale), "good sir, no more of this;
That ye have said is right enough, y-wis;

...Then had your tale been all told in vain,
for certainly, as these clerkes sayn,
Where as a man may have no audience,
Nought helpeth it to telle his sentence."

Yours truly has observed the Knight's admonition with good reason this week. But, we're back.

I did view the KY Slots bill with interest since we'd recently achieved slots in Kansas after two decades of wrangling with a Republican legislature. KY might take some Kansas advice. 1. Quit vilifying Republican/Evangelical Christians arguing religious moral issues that have been around since the founding of the country, and way before, and 2. In Kansas, after horse racing people finally softened their approach to gentle lobbying, woe and behold suddenly slots became a Republican idea with many of our good party bemoaning loss of gambling revenue to Missouri, and waking up to the fact that the State could use the money.

Unfortunately true to form, as the bill was going through the Kansas legislature the horse racing interests went to sleep, and the bill that came out with this typically hilarious incompetence had little revenue for the tracks.

Here its soon onward with fracture resistance. Our training in a rainy week:

Training:
Sat. Rain, but we managed a tough riderless fast workout in the mud.
Sun. 6/21: Off. Rain.
Mon. 6/22: 2 miles for both horses about 1.5 of it slow gallop.
Tues. 6/23: 2.5 miles for both horses in heats. Nice work. Mr. Nob said he felt some wind in his face for both. Planned short breezes tomorrow will be rained out.
Wed. 6/24: Off. Rain.
