Took this from the side/rear to add perspective. She is not small. She is average sized..



Chuck however, is.. bigger than average..

Sorry that I got the wrong impression. Whatever her size I hope that it comes with plenty of heart and determination.

Probably looking at a work on Sunday now. Track has been sloppy last few mornings and rain showers expected tonight as well.

One Revolution went nicely, breaking off eagerly under a tight hold and finishing well down the stretch under minimal urging. I actually had her a shading 50 but viewed the work from a different angle than the clockers do. She wasn't really too winded and recovered quickly and cooled out sound.
There is a 5 1/2f grass race (maiden 40k) on June 28th that is probably the main goal at this juncture. barring any unforeseen setbacks (fingers crossed) she should be pretty close to 100% for that spot.

Work was slow today as she didnt appear to be traveling well over the ground. However she had pulled a shoe half off sometime during the work which is most likely the cause for her not going as well as she usually does. Doesnt look like she did any real damage to her foot. Assuming she comes out well will probably wheel back on Monday or Tuesday.

Mike.. She worked back 3 days later (6/7) going a half in :50. Chuck will update when he gets back from OBS, but he postponed work Sat., worried she was developing a quarter crack. Should know more later today..
