TOY CANNON is at Belmont confounding Bill Mott and his staff. We talked in Louisville about him and Bill is getting frustrated. He says when Cannon comes out on track he turns heads and people ask him "Who is that?". He's 100% sound and looks fabulous but is driving riders crazy. He worked 5f in 1:05 the other day and nothing they try gets him to exert himself. They put blinkers on him and he rears up and wheels and refuses to even go to the track. Bill is thinking about gelding him, though he isn't studish, and taking him to Florida to continue trying to get him going. He's had Thunder Gulch colts before and says it's not totally unusual to have a problem like this with them. I think we can be confident that Mott will get him figured out..

CORYBANT (Johannesburg) just went 3f in :37.1 the other day at Ingleside, his 4th work in 6 weeks after having to pause with shins. He's a different horse as a gelding and Woody is very pleased with him. Should get to New York by beginning of the year. Is likely a turf runner, so he could start a couple times in late winter to be ready for the grass when it comes back around next April..

SPONDULIX (Rockport Harbor) is being left alone to grow and remains targeted for Spring of next year.
