Howdy Scav!
Back and forth on mail, email and derby trail mail!
Sam is back in training as of two weeks ago. Doing fine. Hope to have him back in the races in late summer/early fall. Race plans up in the air at this time.
That's a Given developed a fever last Monday (June 5) after a lack-luster work out the day before. We decided not to enter him in the Belmont after that lack-luster workout. Not sure what his next start will be.
Not Phone chipped a shin bone in his front left leg in the Jaiper. He undergoes surgery tomorrow (Weds) at Rood & Riddle (Dr. Bramledge). Prognosis is good ... should be back at the track in 40 days.
Ice Cool Kitty (2nd in Bowerie last start) was scratched last week b/c of a fever.
Wow, how's that for some good news??!!
What a tough sport this is!
Have a first time starter in the 9th at CD tomorrow ... "Cash Me In". Tom Van Berg trains. Tom likes him, but I'm not recommending at this point. Just have no idea about his ability. He should be at least 20-1.
Cheers to all! Lansdon
