Kickin N Screamin on Tuesday

We drew post position number 5 in the 7th race on Tuesday at Tampa. Posttime is 3:12 Eastern. She is coming to the race in good shape and I expect her to run really well. Win or lose she will be shipping to Kentucky on Wednesday, most likely heading to Keeneland.

Saturday update

Kickin n Screamin worked an easy 5 furlongs today on 105.6. We were not looking for speed, it was more of an open gallop type deal with her finishing up strong. I want to get back to the style that seemed to be most effective with her which was to sit and make one late run and we are also just trying to keep her fresh and wanting more. She has held her weight pretty well and looked good when I saw her last weekend. We are all set for the race on the 1st, Centeno is booked and we have a special date. If we can draw a good post position and keep it on the grass, we should be in great shape.

I watched Aldebutante train on Monday in Ocala. She galloped 1 1/4 miles in company with a Point Given filly named Appoint. She made a great impression under tack, moving easily and appearing very light on her feet. She has matured since I last saw her and Kenny seems very pleased with her progress. The filly has 2 minute licked a few times and is about ready to start breezing easy quarter miles. She is still a bit quirky in her stall and does not really appreciate much attention but is fine while on the track.

Rampillion is also doing well. Paul Harte was down to see her and his report is under the comments section of the previous update. She did kick my Phone Trick colt, causing him to need a few stitches but I am sure he wont be sniffing around her again. All the 2 year olds in Texas got a little sick and missed a bit of training but are fine now and back in full training.

I will make a trip this week to see Sumwonlovesyou and we will probably give her another shock wave treatment on her leg. She is hand walked 30 minutes a day and should be moved into a small paddock once the weather clears.

Update

Kickin N Screamin worked an easy 1/2 mile this morning in 51.1 at Tampa. We had taken it easy with her since the last race, with a lot of turnout time and some jogging and easy gallops. She worked fine and was eager throughout and when galloping out. The race on April 1st is a good fit and she will have 2 more works before that race. Daniel Centano is going to ride her back.



Sumwonlovesyou is hand walking 20 minutes a day and may get some turnout time by the end of the month.



Aldebutante has been doing some easy works, 1/4 miles in 30 seconds and things like that. Kenny reports that everything is moving forward with her. I am going to be in Ocala next weekend for the sales and will watch her train a few times.



Rampillion is still doing well. She along with a few of her barn mates got a little sick last week but they have recovered quickly. Partner Paul Harte will be visiting her this week and promises pictures.
