The cold weather continues to screw up my life (training-wise anyway). We were scheduled to ship horses to Turfway today and Sunday to work but have postponed once again due to poor track conditions which led to the track to cancel it's racing card once again. It has been so cold and there is so much ice on the track it just hasn't melted and running over chunks of ice as well as polytrack is not a good idea. This afternoon the temperatures were in the lower 40's which will melt some of the ice but since Turfway is running with an early post time tomorrow due to the Super Bowl the training hours are limited. So Monday and Tuesday it is.
Been scanning the entries around the country looking for a mid-level claiming prospect but haven't come up with much. It is amazing how prevelant condition claimers have become. It used to be that only the lower level tracks had conditioned claimers but they are a staple of cards nationwide. Not that it is good or bad just an observation.
Apparently Silent Name is going to stand in Canada which screws up breeding plans for one of my mares. Talk about last minute change. Always thought it strange that we haven't seen a Sunday Silence stallion make any noise in the US.
Watched the Holy Bull from Gulfstream and was encouraged by the results. If the top two finishers are considered top notch this year Colonel Klink and Comeback may be in good shape this Spring.
