Aldebutante on course

Aldebutante worked well this morning going five furlongs in company with Mercury Rising at Churchill Downs. She broke off a few lengths behind Mercury Rising at the start of the work, caught him passing the 3/8ths pole, stayed beside him past the 1/4 pole and gradually drew away from him in the stretch, getting the 5 furlongs in 101.80 and galloping out in 12.40 which gets her six furlongs in 114.20. She will have a four furlong blowout a few days before the race on the 24th and a little more gate and paddock schooling but the main part of her work has been completed.

Rampillion worked a nice half mile in 50 seconds in company with Graphite Halo. She switched leads right on time and finished up well down the lane against the other filly who towers over her. It was a good work for her and she will go another 4 furlongs next week. She will do a bit of gate training but she has been very good there and has her gate card already. A Turfway start in September looms as a possibility.

Kickin N Screamin came back from her work in good shape and galloped well today. The new Arlington Park condition book will be coming out shortly and we can plan on her next race after that is released.

Sumwonlovesyou has an abscess in her right foot that has required some serious work on it. we have put a special shoe on her, drilled some holes to promote the drainage and put her on some strong antibiotics. Hopefully this will do the trick and clear up the abscess once and for all.
