RBK was on his toes and full of himself in the paddock prior to the race. He looked ready to run and did not disappoint, digging down in the stretch for a very solid second. He came back to the paddock a bit tired and Tony mentioned he still needs a bit more "air" (fitness) but overall he was very pleased with the today's effort. Tony would like to see RBK continue sprinting for a bit til he breaks his maiden and then look for the stretch out and grass.
Susan took us back to the barn to visit the Simon string and all 6 horses look great. Missus Mayflower was ready for some attention and any MINTS that came her way. KnS looks like a totally different horse from 2 weeks ago. Her coat is dabbled out and she has definitely gained some weight back. We gave her a few more calories as she enjoyed chomping down some mints as well. RBK looked in excellent post race shape and appreciated the attention and mints as much as his Dee Tee sisters. Ships Cabin, Graphite Halo and Target Practice also enjoyed our company. Big thanks to Susan and Raul for giving letting us hang around the barn for a while this afternoon. Without a doubt, one of my favorite parts of being a Dee Tee partner.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. |
Thanks Dave - wish I had been able to make it down to PA to cap off my weekend. RBK looks great as do MM and KNS - I love the picture of her "watching" the 8th race.
