Tues. Misc.

Training: Mr. Nob weighs in at 160 lbs instead of 157 lbs from last work. This compromises planned speed work with Art somewhat. Too heavy for the smaller horse.

Mon. 6/29:
Rod: off
Art: 2.7 miles, 3 heats .8 mile each with 2 min rest between.
(1) warm up with short acceleration at end. Nob says this warm up is insufficient for heat #2.
(2) .8 miles in :15s with a couple of :14s thrown in.
(3) Horse allowed to go .8 mile at his own speed. Started off in :16s, but slowed himself to :18s by half way. Enough at that point! Nice work by Art.

Tues. 6/29:
Art: Off.
Rod: gets day off #2 as a precaution. Was kicked hard twice during play in front cannons Sunday + we'd worked this horse hard over last 2 weeks.
