Day 4

For January 4, the temperature was pretty moderate this afternoon, in the upper 50's which made for a nice change from the recent frigid days. Looks like it wont last though as the midweek looks wet and cold which means adjusted training schedules again. Got word from Richie Scherrer that my horse which I sent to him to run tomorrow at the Fair Grounds (5th race-Graphite Halo) arrived in good shape but would probably be running on the dirt with more rain looming for New Orleans. We decided to go ahead and run which was fine with all the partners and though I am not that excited by her chances on a dirt track, running in an off the turf event gets you a special preference date for the next start on the grass.
