Day 41

Sent in my stall applications for the Spring and Summer tracks, Keeneland, Churchill and Arlington. Interestingly enough the applications are all due on the same day (Feb 26). Kind of hard to believe this isn't a coincidence though I have no idea whay or what it would mean, just kind of interesting. When a trainer sends in an application for a Summer track like CD or AP it is funny that they want you to enlcose past performances for the horses listed since very few will have current form that will be relevant in July. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on a stall application read the back and get ready to have your eyes opened. Basically it says that by signing that form we sign away an awful lot of rights that should have nothing to do with a stall application.

Still havent got my bills done for January and my accountant is probably livid (rightly so).

Picked up Sumwonlovesyou at the farm yesterday and brought her back to the track for the first time in over 16 months. I really hope she can make it back to the races and come close to repeating her old form. Horses become like numbers at times and as a trainer you cant get too attached simply because they get claimed and sometimes they simply need to run at a lower level track. But some horses you have to admire because of their toughness and determination. Sumwonlovesyou is as tough as they come.

It is still early but we are planning on working a bunch of horses today. Nice to be able to walk them to the track and get that done instead of having to pick and choose which ones to van to Turfway.
