Fri. Misc.

News of the week--I guess--trainers of Shackelford and Animal Kingdom "astonished" at how energetic their colts are after 2 "tough" races in a two week span-the knowledge exercise physiology of these sorts being demonstrated. Other than unusual. This sort of thing permeates human athletics also even at the pro level. The NBA and NFL have by and large caught on in their coaching. MLB still mostly in the conditioning dark ages, particularly here in KC.
Why would we expect more of our horse trainers? Opportunity for the rest of us, even if it's painful to watch.

Training:
Busy week compromises us a bit.
Wed.: 6/1 normal day off.
Thurs. 6/2 all we were able to get in was a spirited riderless session with the short bursts of full speed at the chase we get from Rod these days. When he heads the other horse, heat over, generally.
