New date for Rampillion

There is a race for Rampillion in the new TP condition book on January 2nd going 6 furlongs for maiden $15000. We will work her next weekend and keep our fingers crossed that we get in. It would be a nice way to start the new year.

Kickin n Screamin has returned to the track at CDT and there are several races at the end of January that we will be looking at.

Aldebutante is at BEC and is comfortable while awaiting surgery.

Sumwonlovesyou is doing fine and will be returning to the track around the 15th of January.

The Point Given gelding is doing fine and will go into full training after the 1st of the year. The Smarty Jones colt that didnt have colic surgery is going to be broke in a week or so while the other is recovering nicely. The Northern Afleet filly is doing fine and will be going to be broke around that time also.

Aldebutante's bad news and Rampillion

As I'm sure you may have heard by now we had a set back with Aldebutante coming up with a bone chip in her right knee that will require surgery. The injury is something that is not that uncommon in young horses and the surgical and rehabilitation techniques available today make the prognosis for return to racing quite favorable. She should be off about 90 days before going back into training again.

Rampillion worked three furlongs in 36.60 this afternoon at CDT. The track was a little heavy and it was a good move for her. We are still examining options for her next start as we want to get her into the best possible spot.

Kickin n Screamin will be returning to the track tomorrow afternoon and will resume full training hoping to make it back to the races in January.

Aldebutante works well

Aldebutante worked late this morning at CDT going four furlongs in 50.40 over the muddy going. She broke off under a hard hold from Cherie and was smooth going around the turn and switching leads. Aldebutane finished well in the stretch and Cherie did not let her do too much in the gallop out considering this was her first work in a few weeks. She cooled out well and her foot appears to be fine. We are in for some bad weather the next few days in Louisville and she will walk under tack for a few days. Assuming she does well post work we will look to work her again next week.

Friday a possibility

The Turfway Park racing office has put up an extra race for Rampillion for Friday night's card. We enter tomorrow morning for that race and should know around 1 pm if they used the race.

Too many fillies...

Rampillion did not get into the race at Turfway Park for Wednesday the 17th. We were one of 7 horses who did not even make the overnight sheet as entrants or also-eligibles. They did not bring the race back for Thursday though there is a possibility that it will be used next weekend. She will work on Sunday at CDT regardless of when a race appears.

Sumwonlovesyou has not been doing much other than Aqua pacer training lately due to the really cold weather. Her feet have been fine and she is doing well and looking good.

Kickin n Screamin has also been hampered by the poor weather and has been confined to the Aqua pacer. We are now looking at something after the new year for her.

Aldebutante has been fitted with glue on shoes with some sole padding and has returned to training. She has been moving well on the track and we are going forward with her training. She has put on some weight and grow up quite a bit this fall.
