No Luck

We had no luck today as we first lost the turf, then lost our jockey, then had the MTO draw in and then we broke a step slow, then we checked, then we checked again, then we got bumped and then it was over. Racing is a very tough sport. It is hard to evaluate much off of this race as Aldebutante was pretty much screwed from the start and really had a chance to settle and begin a run. The positives are that she got through shipping, the holding barn, the paddock and into the starting gate with no problems and she certainly got experience during the race though most of it bad. We will bring her back to KY and evaluate her before we pick our next spot though Keeneland would be a strong possibility. I was at Keeneland for the sale and caught the race on TV with Bill Mott but I hope all that attended at least had an enjoyable experience despite our tough racing luck.

Rampillion still had a bit of fill in her ankle this morning and we will wait another day or two before resuming training.
