Arlington's meet started off on the right foot as Cool Clue got us out of seats at the 1/4 pole in his first race since February. Cool Clue ranged up and ran 2nd to a 6/5 Frank Calabrese horse in what was a real good race off the short layoff. He will point for the same condition later in the month but going two turns this time. I uploaded some pictures from today's race on our photobucket page.
Three of our two year olds arrive tomorrow morning very early. The Magic Bus, Surfer Rosa and Prospect Knight. Mr Mojo Risin was scheduled to come up but Shane thought he would be better off staying and Prospect Knight coming up. He felt his ability to focus on him for two solid months would do him a world of good, and Prospect Knight has really improved from all aspects since being gelded. The Magic Bus continued to do well and Surfer Rosa has turned some heads as she has really advanced. Looking forward to getting to see these three train. It sounds like Surfer Rosa might be the first one ready sometime in June, as long as some of the typical baby issues don't flare up.
Colonel Klink is scheduled to be entered on Saturday for an IL bred 1 other than allowance race to be run on Thursday May 13th. He has been training particularly well in the mornings and we are eagerly awaiting his return to the Arlington polytrack. A good performance here could punch his ticket to Illinois Champions Day in the middle of June.
Appoint came out of her race in good order after finishing 5th in an open allowance race at Indiana Downs. She will go back to running with her friends and be entered in an Indiana bred non winners of 3 allowance race on May 26th. She will be dead fit for that spot.
Gondorf continues to impress in the mornings but also continues to be as big of a pain in the rear end as humanly possible. For the most part he is just a kid trying to have a little fun but he doesn't realize he is a 1300lb animal that could hurt somebody. He also has a major interest in Appoint and Rochelle Rochelle. His last two works have made Chuck smile and while we will probably miss the condition book that was released today, a mid June start for him looks promising.
Rochelle Rochelle is progressing from her major skin infection and has had three works so far. We are going to target a turf sprint for her towards the end of May which will get her nice and tight for a two turn race in June.
Mizz Liza has been a picture of health and she looks great while back to the grind of training. She just started galloping and will probably get some work in towards the end of month. She has really matured in a beautiful filly with alot of scope to her. Both her and Rochelle Rochelle are sired by Mizzen Mast, and they couldn't look any different. 'Liza is close to twice Rochelle's size.
Big Shake and Albin continues to progress in their rehab from their prospective injuries. Big Shake has been keen and walking in the mornings while Albin has still been on stall rest.
As for our broodmare and foal report, both the Johar filly and Dehere filly are reportedly doing well. Because of the bad weather in Kentucky on Derby week, they had to spend more time inside then they wanted to but they were able to get out and play this week. No news is good news with Top Royelle and Wundelia.
