Sat. Misc. The Racing Calendar

Looked at the BH racing calendar for the first time in a while with eye to fall-winter race meets, and good grief. Little bit of shock.

In contrast to the old days and fall-winter meets all over the place, there is almost nothing. Remington hangs in there. Turfway here and there. Hawthorne 10 hours away. Very little else.

Good that our one horse is far enough along that we're considering were to go, and discouraging with so few choices. Maybe the sport is in a little worse trouble than I had thought if this is in process of spiraling downward. Owners necessitate tracks and meets.

One step at a time for us. Got to intro the horse to a track first, and will start process of seriously considering this next week. And, around here of late, weather is boss. Will see how it goes.

Training:

Thurs. 8/12 1 mile slow gallop-trot tack work + two miles riderless slow.

Fri. 8/13 2 x 1 mile riderless in rain as fast as they could go. Decent!

Sat. Off.
