Tues. Misc.

Does this horse have pasterns slightly longer than ideal size? Might revisit this some time when the blog gets to performance.

Was speculating--is possibly the reason that Baffert has been lighter in training on Lucky than he was e.g. Silver Charm, those pasterns? I am a fan of Preston Burch training, but thinking Lucky would need a lesser schedule.

As for us here in KCMO, weeeee. 1.34 inches of rain. On the way. 5 inches last week. 15 of the last 23 days had rain, next 3 days rain, 18 rain days of 26. So much for my hope for a trainable May.

Soupy ground beneath standing water pastures. Horses have been off. We had one riding session on the one non-rain day last week.
