Ultimate Equipment Change

Well, Albin is scheduled for what is deemed 'the ultimate equipment change in sports'. Given his antics in the paddock, post parade, and the start of the race, Chuck has advised that Albin be gelded. Gelding a colt is considered when they become unruly or do not listen to the rider during the race. This should grab his attention and hopefully bring out the potential that he shows. He should be ready for a race down at Tampa Bay near Christmas time.

Rochelle Rochelle ran a great race on Thursday finishing a closing 4th. She was green coming down the stretch but when she switched leads she really took off and missed 3rd by a nose. Jesus Castanon told us that she was busy looking at everything and once she focused she split horses with confidence and really finished well.

Cool Clue and Richwood Silver had to miss their scheduled starts as they had a minor setback in training. While both horses could have ran, they were not 100% ready to go. Given the 2nd condition book has just come out, we should be able to make a race towards the end of the Churchill meet with both of them.
