Kicking N Screamin worked well this morning at Keeneland. She was under a snug hold throughout and was well within herself during the work. TC reported that she was blowing pretty good afterwards which is expected since she has had a lot of down time since her last race. She will be leaving for Arlington on Tuesday morning. There is a race on the 17th which is a $32000 NW2Lt going 1 1/16th on the polytrack which looks like a logical spot.
Aldebutante had a area of swelling on her neck, which may have been caused by a needle used to give her some fluids the other day, that caused her to miss two days of training. She appears fine now and will resume trackwork tomorrow.
Rampillion is scheduled to arrive in Kentucky on Thursday morning. More details to follow.
Sumwonlovesyou has done well in her small round pen and will be moved to a larger paddock next week.

Aldebutante arrives in KY...
Aldebutante arrive at Barn G at Trackside (Churchill Down Training Center) this morning at 6:30 am. She was alert and bright and seemed to be in good order after the long ship. She will walk the shedrow tomorrow and will go to the track Monday morning for some exercise. Kenny did his usual fine job with her and she looks great, as do the others that came from him.
Rampillion has had a few strong gallops and is ready to have her first official work of 1/4 mile soon. She is scheduled to arrive in KY toward the end of April and will initially go to Keeneland.
Kickin N Screamin was thoroughly examined by Dr. Begue who diagnosed some irritation in her right stifle. He did not think it was serious and she had a shockwave treatment on the area to stimulate healing. She is going to pony on the training track at Keeneland for a few days and will be re-evaluated next week.
Someonelovesyou moved to Arundel yesterday and will be turned out in a small sand round pen on Monday. We will graduate her to the larger paddocks soon after.

Kickin, Sumwonlovesyou, Aldebutante and Rampillion...
Kickin N Screamin arrived this morning at Keeneland in good order. She was a little drained from the long ride, especially after running on Tuesday, but that is to be expected. There are a few different options that I am looking at for her. In no particular order, River Downs has a $25000 NW3 LT going 1 1/16th on the turf on May 6th. Arlington Park has a 32500 NW2 going 1 1/16th on the poly on May 17th and a 17500 NW2 going 1 mile on the 8th (one turn mile). Indiana Downs has a 15000 NW2 going 1 mile on the turf on the 17th and an NW1x allowance on the 9th going 1 mile. Keeneland has a $30000 NW2 going 1 1/16th on the poly on the 23rd. I have no plans for her at the moment and will see how she is doing and fully evaluate her before picking a next race. I know some people were talking about cutting her back in a turf sprint but there really aren't many options available for that kind of race during the spring.
Sumwonlovesyou is going to move to Arundel Farm in Paris, KY this week. The reason for moving her is that Arundel has several smaller paddocks that are in a quiet area where she can be turned out. We will reevaluate her after about 2 weeks of being turned out and move on from there. If anyone is going to be at Keeneland or in for the Derby and wants to visit, just contact Steve or I and we will make arrangements. www.arundelfarm.com
Aldebutante continues to impress Kenny in her training. She is scheduled to arrive in Louisville sometime around the 15th depending on the van companies availability. She will go to the Churchill Downs Training Center, about 10 minutes from Churchill, to acclimate to racetrack life with the majority of my 2 year olds. Rampillion will be coming up from Texas toward the end of the month and will probably wind up at the training center also though there is a chance she may go to Keeneland until after the Derby. Same as for Sumwonlovesyou, anyone in town interested in visiting contact myself or Steve. If things go as planned (which is rare) Aldebutante may have a workout Derby week that partners and friends can go and watch.
I have said this before but I want all of you to know that both Steve and I appreciate every ones patience and support in getting this venture off the ground. What started off as a bit of a shot in the dark (thanks to hooves who was crazy enough to come up with the idea) has turned into a great group of people having fun following their own little stable. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met so many nice people and made so many new friends. Thanks again.
