OBS 2013 Two Year Old sale topper.  Looks pretty good. Everything together for this fellow.

So many years ago when I got into racing the Q arose for me what to do with the September yearlings.  What's the "correct" training, since everyone I ran into knew everything there is to know about race horses.

The usual answer around here--KCMO,USA--we take 'em to the farm and break 'em.  Then we turn 'em out till spring and let 'em grow.

This midwest USA training method always drew from me appropriate smirks.  Although, after taking a beating from the weather now basically since the year 2003 all this is starting to make perfect sense.  25 degree F yesterday in KC, 3/21/13.  Was considering who the F wants to go out in this stuff and get on race horses.  7 inches of snow forecast for 3/24/13.  Start again in spring making some sense.

We plan to rent a stall in OK city April 1 though with plans to ship #17 back and forth as money allows while #148 continues to recuperate from his surgery.  Time is getting close while the end of March is still deep winter in KC.
