Saturday at AP

Kickin n Screamin drew post #1 in the 4th race at Arlington Park on Saturday. She will be ridden by Jose Velez, Jr. rather than James Graham who wound up on a different mount. I believe that it is immaterial since Velez has a style of riding that suits her fine. The race is a 7 horse field and there are no standouts, we seem to fit in well. We are 5-1 on the morning line which is fair considering our last 2 races. The ML favorite is a horse that is making it's polytrack debut second off of the claim from Dutrow. There are supposed to be a bunch of DT'ers in attendance, if the weather hold out, should be a good time.

Aldebutante will have her 1st 3 furlong work on Friday morning, weather permitting. She has been training really well and is ready for a real work. We aren't looking for anything fast, probably in the 38 range. Rampillion has popped a small splint which we are going to treat tomorrow morning with a shockwave session. She shouldn't miss much time, maybe a few days of light training.

Sumwon continues to do well while turned out. I am going to visit her next week and will take some pictures if Scavs gives me my camera back.
