Mon. Misc.

On Saturday 10/17 Duke of M flunked his riderless injury test. Still the exact same limp as a week ago at the trot.  Hard to tell it's there, but failing to stride out completely.

However, on Sun. and today Duke ran on his own in the paddock in crisp weather.  Caught a little trot without a limp from the little I could see.  Still undetermined whether it's a shoulder or muscle problem. Hopefully the latter.

Tee Pee Minister--worked so good last week, and then rider fails to show for Sat. breeze, essentially wasting the whole week.  Drunk Fri. night at Remington Park, as I understand.  

And so--Tee Pee worked riderless on this Training Center's Sunday day off.  And today, under tack galloped around there twice mostly in :18s  with a some trot-walk in between.   :18/F is progress as this horse had been going much slower.

We're training Tee Pee different than Duke.  Will explain this, but in a coming post.  I'd like to get to "performance" and to see how things go, also coming soon, hopefully.  Will get some vids on here when we get Tee Pee Minister going again.
