July 25th at Arlington

Looks like July 25th will be the day that both Kickin n Screamin and Aldebutante return to the races. Arlington has scheduled a $5000 claiming event for fillies going one mile on the polytrack for that day which should suit Kickin n Screamin. Aldebutante will be entered in a 1 1/16th mile maiden special race on the polytrack. Originally we were going to wait for a turf maiden race for Aldeb but she worked so well over the poly last Thursday (48.60) and is so sharp that we decided to try this race.

Redboard King is progressing slowly but surely. He will move to Churchill Downs with the rest of the KY crew this coming week. Missus Mayflower is training well and has shown a lot of maturity lately. Ryan has been working very diligently with her and that work is starting to pay off. The reports from NY are that Harolds shins are progressing and he will be doing his summer work in Saratoga though a start up there is unlikely. Rampillion may be headed to Charlestown for her next start.

Two for the fourth!

Though it appeared at one point that neither ALDEBUTANTE or KICKIN N SCREAMIN might run Saturday, by the time the Arlington racing office produced a card, both Dee Tee damsels were set to run. The result is yet another first for the Stable with two starters on one raceday. KNS goes in the opener and Aldebutante the 4th race. Attached find the complete DRF past performances for the Arlington card, and below the fields. A nice group of Dee Tee partners, family and friends seems like they will be able to make their way to Chicago Saturday, and Chuck will be there by Thursday evening. There is a party by Chuck's barn Friday evening as well for anyone that will get to town by then. More information forthcoming by Email and at Derby Trail.  Should be an exciting afternoon, particularly with Aldebutante making her 3yo debut after the 6+ month injury layoff.  And in an additional update, RAMPILLION has exited her maiden breaking win at Delaware very well, and Linda Albert is already looking for a spot to run her back. It's possible she will go as soon as the weekend of July 11. Looking forward to an exciting Independence Day, Steve
