Kickin and other things

Kickin n Screamin seemed to come out of her race in good order. We will wait for the next $50000 NW2LT before we run her back. Since we now have the special date in our favor we are guaranteed to get in the race we choose. Since there is nothing in the book and the fact that they chewed up the course a little when running the stake on the soft ground and may be wary of running too many turf races in the next few weeks, it could be a month until we run again or even into April. That would most likely be our final Tampa start and we have to start thinking about where she will be running this summer.

Someonelovesyou is doing fine out at the farm. She is being hand walked for 15 minutes a day and is undergoing shockwave treatment once a week for a few weeks. Her scans came back pretty good and hopefully she continues to improve. There is no timetable for her return to training but I would guess this summer (Mid May?) at the earliest.

Steve will be posting pictures of Aldebutante from his Sunday morning visit on the Derbytrail web site this week. She continues to train forwardly and is looking great.

Rampillion had her knees x rayed this week and they were still not closed and as such we will continue to take our time with her. She is galloping in sets and is doing everything well. Scott promised to take some pictures of her and send them up though I doubt his photographic skills are much better than mine (which means bad).
