Aldebutante worked 4 furlongs in 50.40 this morning at CDT. She served as a pacesetter for another horse, Albin, that was working 5 furlongs and needed to work behind horses. With Cherie aboard, she broke off smoothly, going the first 1/4 mile in an easy 26.30 under a tight hold. She switched leads right on cue and actually spurted away from Ablin a bit straightening out down the stretch. She went the last 1/4 in 24.10 while still under a hold and galloped out well as Albin got by her after the wire while working the extra furlong, and she wanted to chase him. She came back to the barn on her toes, was not really winded and cooled out fine. She will do some more gate work this week and may work from the gate next weekend, depending on the new starting gate schedule. Aldebutante has been very good in the gate, both going in and coming out. She is doing really well and there are a few races in the Saratoga book that look interesting for her.
Rampillion 'two minute licked'under Ryan this morning. She said that she picked up speed on cue and enjoyed going faster than normal. Rampillion was a little sloppy with her lead changes but that is mostly due to inexperience. We will probably work her an easy 3 furlongs next weekend.
Sumwonlovesyou will be leaving Arundel for BEC later in the week. She will start on the Aqua Pacer and have some more turnout time in between sessions. This is the next step in the process of her recovery and it is a big one. If she has no issues with her leg after a period of time in the Aqua Pacer combined with hyperbaric oxygen treatment she will go back to the track sometime in August.
Kickin n Screamin went back to the track today and looked like she has no lingering issues from her fall in the paddock the other day. I briefly looked over the condition book at AP but haven't come up with a plan until we gallop her a little and see where she is physically.
