Training

For commenter last post, ya on"south of the river". we just have to get out of KC to really train. How about this wet weather around here? I commented on Colonel John early in this blog. Thought his Goodwood race a nice effort. The jock quoted post race that CJ lacked speed, which corresponds with the You Tube videos CJ in training. I've lost so much $$$ betting on CJ I've quit, lol. Zenyata, she's another one that might suffer against top competition due to from her training, Shireffs like Hollendorfer being noted for failing to gallop much the week before a race. Note the finish of Tiago in the Goodwood--nice breezing schedule, and then inexplicable performance is an indicator of this. Shirrefs also trains Tiago. Unknown though what he does with Z. She's certainly a beautiful horse who might just outstride Rachel A. if they ever meet. Rachel probably has an advantage in trainers at this point, but that's only a guess!

Training:
Thurs-Sun. to 10/9-11: Off. deep mud and we miss one day due to my trip. We've lost what we gained with Rod by mid Sept. Nob's fall and the weather.
Mon. 10/12 we resume training. riderless intermittent in mud for about 10 min with some light spurting.
