Update Time

As most of you know, Kickin N Screamin has arrived in her winter quarters at Tampa Bay Downs. She got in yesterday in the morning and she shipped well. We are hand walking her this morning and she will go to the track for a light jog tomorrow. If all goes well she may work on Monday, the 10th. After talking it over with Steve I believe we are better suited to run in the starter ace on the 28th. It will give her ample time to settle in to the new surroundings and the race itself may be better suited (easier) for her. Tampa is notorious for taking races off the turf but I think that the dirt surface will be ok for her to run on unless it is soupy, for those thinking of making some post Xmas travel plans for her race. We will keep you posted.

Churchill has moved training hours to 11-2 so anyone in the area who wants to take a peek at Sumwonlovesyou in training can stop by at a more reasonable hour to see her. She is doing well, may have a work in 10 days or so if the weather holds out. As Steve pointed out in his update, we are still pointing to a starter race at Oaklawn either going 6 furlongs or 1 mile depending on the level of fitness of Sumwon. She will be shipping out on the 28th or 29th of December.

Aldebutante is in training in Ocala with Ken LeJeune. He reported that she was a a bit tough to break as she is a little stubborn. However she is going to the track everyday with a few other fillies and is going well. Our Came Home filly in Texas has done very well. She has an official name which is Rampillion. I have no idea what it means but of all the names given it seemed to fit. Plus it would sound good when she is selling at the Fasig Tipton Fall auction after she wins the 2010 BC Distaff! I'm sure Steve will give the official meaning and origin of the name and even use it in a sentence.
