Wednesday

Rampillion drew in the 3rd race on Wednesday at Turfway Park getting post position number 10 in a field of 10. She is the morning line favorite at 2-1 with Diego Rodriguez riding. Though our training routine has been compromised the last few weeks I feel she will be ready. Her last work was very good and though we were looking for a hard work she exceeded expectations and galloped out very well. Post time for Rampillion's race is 2:04 EST.

Rampy

Entered her today for the 4th. Keeping my fingers crossed that they use the race. She is doing well.

Rampillion's next start

There is a race on Feb 4th at Turfway Park for Rampillion. The race is a 6 1/2 furlong maiden $15000 race for three year old fillies. Diego Rodriguez will ride her back and she should be among the top choices in the race. She will work this weekend  (Sat.) at CDT if the weather breaks a bit or we will ship her to Turfway and work her there. Ideally we could get another work in afterwards but we will see how the weather plays out.

I haven't brought Sumwonlovesyou in yet because of the weather and lack of available training for her.

Aldebutante was checked this week by Dr. Johnson and he was pleased with her progress.

Kickin n Screamin will also work this weekend.

Kickin back

Kickin n Screamin went an easy half mile yesterday in 52.20 at CDT. This was her first work since being given a rest at the end of the year. Cherie thought she did it easily and Kickin wasn't too winded afterwards. Sine we are going into a deep freeze for a few days we may not get her back out to the track the rest of the week but hope to get another work into her next week.

Sumwon will come in to the track as soon as it looks like we will have a decent stretch of weather.

Rampillion looks good

Rampillion returned to the barn last night in good shape after her second place showing. She was bright and alert this morning while walking the shedrow and did not leave any of her feed which is a good sign. The condition book is not kind as the next two spots for her are really not ideal. There is a maiden $15000 on the 18th but that race is cutting back to 5 1/2 furlongs which I dont want to do. The other possible spot is a race in the same company on January 25 but it is 1 1/16th which is a bit further than I want to try her right now. So we will wait it out, see what extra races come up and hope that we get a little help.

Aldebutante is recovering well after her surgery. Sumwonlovesyou is going to get reshod on Thursday and will be returning to the racetrack next weekend. This is a big step in her continuing recovery. Kickin n Screamin is galloping well and will resume timed workouts soon.

Surgery goes well

Aldebutante's surgery went well yesterday. The chip in her right knee came out with no complications and Dr. Johnson reported that there was no ligament or collateral damage. He also cleaned up some spurs in her left knee and that went fine as well. His prognosis for her is very favorable for her and she should be back in training in around 90 days. Aldebutante will rehab at BEC while doing very little for the next two weeks. She will start back excercising on the Aqua Pacer and then return under tack after that. We will keep you updated on her progress as it happens.
