Mon. Misc.

By my experience coaching--training mostly involves a little elevated common sense, noted as I age a relatively rare talent.  The little known fellow in the vid showed through the years that he has it in spades.  What a pleasure to watch this guy coach athletics right down the road in Manhattan, Kansas as Kansas State and Coach Bill Snyder presently rank as the #1 college football team in the polls.  Kansas State.  Think about it.

The RR stable is getting perilously close to navy day in terms of the start of serious training.  The riding is going well although a ways to go to call them green broke.  Feeling our way with the normal 0% risk policy.  Should be trotting within the week, and then we see how far we can take things at the farm before thinking about a race track.
