Looking towards the new year

Rampillion came out of her race a little banged up, some cuts and scrapes from being stepped on by another horse, but nothing serious. I was displeased with the ride and though the field may have been a little tougher than she can handle at this point, Hebert gave her no shot and more importantly did not teach her anything positive going forward. But she will be ok and the poor finish position gives us the opportunity to drop her in class looking for an easy spot. December 17th at Turfway Park for maiden $15,000 going 6 1/2 looks like a possibility.

Sumwonlovesyou continues to do well in her recovery from the leg and foot injuries. She is staying sound and is eager to do work on both the Aquapacer and under saddle. The chances of her making it back to the races in the spring are looking better every passing day.

Aldebutante has been sound but we are still going to have the specialist look at her foot so we can be certain that she is 100% before going full speed with her. She has put on weight and filled out quite a bit the last six weeks.

Kickin n Screamin is back in training and is going pretty good.
