Update

Very little progress for Tee Pee since the nice breeze on 11/9.  The rest have been slow and a couple of days ago trouble--see below.

11/21 3f in 40.
11/22 Off
11/23 1.5 mile gallop a little faster than the slow gallops we've done on off days.  A likely cause of
problem below--this was too fast for the stage of preparation. I was without my stop watch.
Slight heat shows in lower part of front left cannon after this gallop--first heat Tee Pee has shown since he started on 9/1/15.
11/24  1.5 mile slow gallop and told jock to let him roll down the lane at the end on the RIGHT lead..  Went pretty fast for about 1f on this day when we'd normally breeze but declined due to cannon bone heat.
After this gallop there was slightly more heat over the whole left cannon bone. Decided on two days off.
11/25 Off.  Lesser heat.
11/26 Off though he ran a little riderless in his paddock on his own. Heat gone. Will see if substitute jock will get on horse tomorrow in horrid weather.

Generalized cannon bone heat (heat over whole cannon instead of localized in specific small area, which is trouble)--there's 24 hr. heat/48 hr. heat and more than 48 hrs. When post race or post work cannon bone heat lasts more than 48 hrs there's potential problem in my experience.  Since Tee Pee's heat after the second gallop lasted but 24 hrs. am guessing we merely have some serious cannon bone remodeling happening at the moment. This is good, and bad. Bad because we'll have to back off a bit for a few more days.
