Mon. Misc.

Training:
Sun. 7/5:
Art: prep for tomorrow's speed work: 2.7 miles 1/3 trot-2/3 gallop very slow.
Rod: Rare night when lazy Rod was hepped up. We decide on riderless speed work full speed 5 x 2f. Horse looked good. The idea was that hopefully the light bulb would come on in terms of speed and the tack work to come.

Mon 7/6:
Rod: Off
Art: Speed work. Last prior speed Nob had reported the horse weakened in the final 2f of the 7f work. Tonight the 7f went in :14s with some sub :14 surging. Nob reports definite wind up there on board. Strong all the way, unlike the last time. 2.2 miles total volume in 3 heats. A final 2f in :13.5 had been planned but was aborted as the 7f went faster then planned and was merely galloped.
