Question Sonoran Desert
He was vanned off after finishing 4th in the 3rd today at TP. I believe he is raced by boardie pgiaco. I do certainly hope everything is ok.

He's OK thanks for the concern. He's had a chip in a knee for some time that we were debating whether to take out or not that didn't bother him until yesterday. He is comfortable today and going to have the chip removed tomorrow. Should be fine after that.
He also has a pretty significant case of EPM that keeps him from training hard between starts and also makes him look real funny at the jog. That and the knee yesterday caused Victor to jump off pulling up. He loves to run and loves his job so if he can come back sound he will continue on. If not he's got a good home for life.

Usually I don't like to tout my own, but keep an eye out for "Sonoran's" 2 year old full brother, Four Peaks. Very forward and does things very professionally and could be an early baby.

Bred his dam to Teuflesberg yesterday. If all goes according to plan the foal might want to run every other day.
