If it wasn't for bad luck...

Poor weather has forced NYRA to cancel today's card at Aqueduct meaning Lloyddobler wont be breaking his maiden today. This Winters weather has been particularly nasty and even with the warmer temperatures that March has brought us, there are lingering issues both up North and down South. I am not sure what the immediate options are with Lloyd but hopefully we can get back into a similar race soon.

Missus Mayflower has had some issues with her shins crop up this week which may cause us to miss the Tampa meet and point towards Philadelphia and the mid-Atlantic area this Spring. After a few more days of therapy we will make a decision on how aggressively we are going to treat the shins.

Redboard King has trained really well and seems to have turned the corner towards becoming a racehorse. He is going to work on Monday, going 5 furlongs on the dirt. We are looking at an early April start either at Tampa on the turf or Philadelphia on the dirt. Options for him later this Spring and moving into Summer include Indiana Downs, Churchill Downs, Arlington Park, Delaware or maybe even the much hyped Monmouth uber purse meet.

Kickin n Screamin is going to work tomorrow or Monday depending on the condition of the track and be entered for $5000 nw1 in 6 months race next Sunday at Philadelphia Park.

Not quite ready...

Missus Mayflower was not quite ready to make the March 4th race we originally had selected for her. Her new target is the same race (maiden 12500 going 5 furlongs) at Tampa on March 24th. She worked 5 furlongs over the deep surface at the Classic Mile in 103 yesterday and schooled in the gate as well.

Mayflower getting ready...

Missus Mayflower continues to progress towards her debut on March 4th. She schooled in the gate today and galloped a spirited 1 1/4 afterwards. When she was turned out later in the morning she sped around her paddock for a few laps before settling down to munch on some grass. We are going to take her over to OBS on Saturday to work and get a chance to get her used to vanning to a new location for a race like she will when she runs. MM will be working out of the gate in company with Appoint, an older filly who has won a few races in Indiana.

Redboard King continues to advance slowly but surely for his debut. We were thinking of working him in the morning on the grass but the rain we are getting will probably prevent that from happening. If they open the turf for works on Saturday we may try again then or just work him on the dirt.

Kickin n Screamin was not entered for the race at Philly on the 27th as I wanted to give her a little more time after her strong effort last out. Look for something around the end of the first week in March for her.

Lloyddobler has reportedly come out of his race in good shape and will be pointed for a March 13th race at 6 furlongs at the Big A.

Happy New Year!

The New Year is here and it wont be long till our Dee Tee runners are racing. Kickin n Screamin came out of her race in good shape and we are pointing towards a conditioned $7500 race going 1 1/16th on Friday January 8th.

Lloyd Dobler is being entered for Thursday at Aqueduct in maiden $35000 race going 6 furlongs. David Cohen is scheduled to ride for Gary Sciacca.

Redboard King is training down at the Classic Mile Training Center in Ocala and is still looking at a start at Tampa Bay Downs later this Spring. Missus Mayflower is training forwardly in Ocala, having recently worked a couple nice, half-miles.

What lies ahead

Kickin and Screamin is doing great while turned out at trainer Mike Lauer's farm. She will come back into the track next week and we will look for a spot for her at either Churchill or Philadelphia Park. There is a race for $7500 claimers going 1 mile on the 14th at CD and a ton of options for her at Philly. While I am not 100% sure she will be as good on the dirt as the other surfaces, if the race sets up for her with a quick pace to run into I believe she will do fine.

Aldebutante has trained aggressively with the addition of blinkers. I have not picked out her next race either as I want to train her a little more with the blinks and make sure she is ready to go. Philly and Churchill are the two possible tracks for her next start also.

Redboard King has done well recently and will work this weekend weather permitting. I doubt we will make the fall meet at CD and are probably looking at a December race in Philadelphia or Tampa Bay Downs.

Harold is training very well according to Paul Barone, Gary Sciacca's assistant. They are thinking a late November or early December start for him as well.

Missus Mayflower is back on the track, jogging everyday with Hank. She got a little heavy during the downtime following her surgery and we are working that weight off of her slowly. She will Winter in Florida and hopefully start at Tampa in the Spring.

Plans for Sumwonlovesyou have changed a bit and there will be an announcement about her soon. She is doing great at Richland Hills Farm and was recently visited by Unstable who thought she was finally showing that she was in foal.

Redboard King

Redboard worked a quicker than expected 3 furlongs yesterday morning in 35.60 in company with a horse named Touch Me Quick. Under jockey Aldo Canchano, Redboard went very well while outside the other horse and galloped out well after the wire. He cooled out fine though was a little winded. We will look to work him back next Thursday or Friday, going another 3f or an easy 1/2 mile.

New race date for Aldebutante

September 20th at Hoosier going 6 furlongs on the dirt. I am not satisfied with her blood test results and believe that the extra time will help get her back to normal.

Kickin n Screamin / Aldebutante / Missus Mayflower / Redboard King

Kickin N Screamin is scheduled to run at AP on September 24th going 1 mile for $5000. However she may also be entered in a similar spot at Turfway on Septermber 23rd. We want to make sure she gets a chance to run and while the AP race is a bit more attractive pursewise there is no guarantee that it will go off as scheduled.

Aldebutante is being pointed to a race on September 10th at Hoosier Park going 5 1/2 furlongs in a Maiden Special Weight on the dirt.

Missus Mayflower is still recovering from her surgery and has started to be handwalked daily.

Redboard King is going to work this weekend at CDT going an easy three furlongs.
