Aldebutante under the weather

Aldebutante will not make the trip to Saratoga this week for her debut. She has been a little lethargic and has been having some stomach issues which have been bothering her this week. Her coat has faded an bit and is looking a little dull and she may have a virus of some kind that is effecting her. She still has an appetite and has not had a fever but is not quite right and it simply is not the right time to press the issue. She is a good horse and we need to go into her first race firing 100% on all cylinders which she just isnt right now. We are going to do some tests on Monday to try to identify the problem and keep her in light training until we understand the issue better.

Sunwonlovesyou has a strep virus in her foot and we have switched to Baytril (an antibiotic) which is perscribed to treat this. She is comfortable on that foot and we are going to change her foot bandage today.

Kickin N Screamin continues to train great, working in 49 yesterday at Arlington. She is scheduled to run on the 11th at AP in a $25000NW3lt on the grass. Though I would prefer to race her on the polytrack, the grass race fits her best and it isn't like she hasn't done well on turf before.

Rampillion is training right along and the 20th at Turfway looks like a strong posibility.

KnS work was reported by Equibase as being "the other" Kns (Kicken N Screaming) Where is that "roll eyes" emoticon when you need it?
