Aldebutante is in, Rampillion is out

Aldebutante drew post position number 11 in Belmont's 5th race Sunday. The race which is carded for 6 furlongs on the turf is threatened by rain though we will run regardless of surface. Richard Migliore will ride and John Fahy will saddle the filly for us. I know Steve will be there with many of the local DT'ers and some out of towners so check the website to see what the plans are for meeting up. John had her over to the starting gate this morning to get acquainted with the gate crew there and she did great. She will jog tomorrow morning and school in the paddock in the afternoon.

Rampillion had a little swelling in her right ankle and will miss a few days of training which eliminates any chance of making the race on the 20th at Turfway. The vets don't think it is serious, she probably wrenched it which would be more of a sprain than anything. We will see how it looks after a few easy days and reevaluate it. She is not showing much lameness which is a good sign.

Kickin n Screamin came out of her race in good shape and will be pointed to a race at Turfway Park on October 2nd.
