Top Royelle worked nicely yesterday at Churchill and will travel to Saratoga, leaving Sunday afternoon and arriving Monday morning. We will be stabled in the Annex across from the backside of the Oklahoma track off of 5th avenue.

I said hi to him or her this morning.

I've got my pictures loaded to the computer...the photos of her at the training track are very dark though. I could email them if anyone wants to see. (I don't know how to load them here)

Sightseek,

you could get a free acount at http://www.photobucket.com
after you load them onto the website
click on IMG code and that copies the picture
all you have to do then is paste the IMG code you copied on to a post here

and... here you go

is it just the light or is she developing a cataract

Just the light. It was really dark this morning so we had the flash on. The little bumb over her eye is from shipping. Just rubbed hair and she should be super beautiful again soon!

That is the light, and the normal tapetal reflection from the back of a horses' eye

Not sure.... I have yet to see him in person. My farm manager in NY recommended him to me and we will get to see him next Saturday or Sunday.

Did you name that horse, or did he come that way?

He came that way. (Wiseman's Ferry - Sued)
My six year old wanted to name him Wind Devil.... He was not happy at first but seems to have gotten over it....

-open a free account on photobucket.com
-upload you pics there by clicking on the browse buttons and locating the pics in your appropriate folders.
-under each of your pics on your photo bucket account there is a row that is labeled "url link"...click on that and it should auto copy to your notepad (if not then highlight the url and do an edit / copy)
-come back to Derby Trail and open a window to make a post
-in the second menu bar at the top of the post box there is a small yellow square with mountains and a sun in it....click on it and a second box opens up where you can do an edit / paste to put the pic url in the box.

hope this helps

Thanks, I tried once before and it said size too large.

I don't remember having to resize pics for photobucket...I know you do if you want to post directly from you computer to Derby Trail but i don't think you do if you upload to photobucket and then paste into your post here using the "img" box
