Day 36

Another cold day at Turfway. This time we were in the last race so I went to the restaurant on the lower level, sat with a few agents and ate a cheeseburger. The glamorous life of a trainer. On a sidenote the food at Turfways restaurants is pretty good by racetrack standards. Makutus typically faded to an embarrassing off the board but was claimed. That ended the saga of Makutus for me. A talented horse who simply never really figured out how the game is played. Sometimes we blame ourselves for the failures of our horses, sometimes we try everything and it still doesn't work. I wish the people who bought him well.
