Weekend at AP

Kickin N Screamin worked quite well yesterday at Arlington Park. She went in 48.20 which was a very good move for her though the track may have been a little tighter than usual due to some rain early Saturday morning. She cooled out fine and looks really good right now. She is maintaining her weight well and seems very content with herself. We will still pass the upcoming race on the 16th and await something a few weeks afterwards.

Aldebutante is doing fine and will work later this week, most likely going four furlongs and galloping out an extra eighth. Depending on weather, Friday may be the day.

Rampillion will work 4 furlongs this week also. She is starting to get stronger and has been training a little better, not getting quite so tired.

Sumwonlovesyou is still hampered by her foot issues.

Paula and I were lucky enough to spend the weekend at Arlington for the Million for the 1st time. It was a great experience and Arlington did a very good job with the event (except for my nachos which still haven't arrived). There were a bunch of DT'ers led by GBbob, Scavs, Philski, Swap Fliparoo, Brock Guy, Satans Twin, Brian W Spenser and Bogey among others. Bob with help from Scavs scored us a great box for Saturday and was a super host as usual plus we had a good time Friday at the twilight card as well. Highlights include seeing my friend 24, Albin getting his gate card, Ships Cabin not bolting, Kickins work, BWS hitting a big pick 4, me actually winning money on Saturday, lots of food especially at the local Italian place, meeting Scavs potential women, and seeing cover band groupies for the first time. For those who have never been, Million weekend is a good time.

Steve/Chuck- What race(s) are you looking at now for Aldebutante? Will Rampillion be running on Turf or dirt?
