Sat. Misc.

Onto other things today. Checking eligibility and trainers test rules in various jurisdictions. Good grief 5 year old maidens are ineligible in neighboring Nebraska unless they raced before age 5. I never get the point of this, or really making any raceable horse ineligible. Why? Illinois rules are a shockingly--for such a large state-- disorganized conglomeration of TB and harness racing rules. Just spent 30 min. trying to find horse eligibility in there. Nowhere to be found.

Getting ahead of ourselves with our Rolling one. Tested the leg last night by getting back on. We're back in business, I believe. As long as big Rod stays on his best behavior as he has been without sudden hijinks, looks as if I've got enough leg strength to stay up. Couple of days reorientation and should be back into speed work end of the week.

Training:
Thurs. 7/28: Off
Fri. 7/29: 3/4 mile trot in mud. Enough riding for me for day #1. Such a tractable horse, normally.
