Summer Over?

A little sadness with last days of August, knowing weatherwise what's coming. As a kid it was about the 28th or 29th we took the last dives into the swimming pool with a little nostalgia about summer past and how long before we'd could be back.

Now days thoughts of winter are just a pain in the a___ especially the idea of preparing a horse through that sort of weather. Best to avoid thinking about it and take advantage of the few good days left. We've had now 5 weeks of dry here in KC which has us thinking of heading to a race track should this continue. Message to our horse!

You win Travers with a $5000 stud fee. Nice! Will we see Fly Down again? Pressured 4f on one lead, same lead gallop out. Almost 1 mile on the same lead. Highly doubtful.

Late News Flash: Awesome Of Course standing for $1750.00 at Legend Farm somewhere in Oklahoma sires winner of Florida Susan Girl Stakes.

Training:

Fri. 8/27: Off

Sat. 8/28: riderless 3 x 4f at about 85% speed. Lazy Rod is back. Then 4 times around the new course, gallop/trot. He did well. Ears normal instead of parallel pointed. Got this backwards. Need to do the tack work before the speed work!
