Racing Thursday Night at Turfway
Moderators: Roguelet, WaveMaster, Diane, K~2
Nope. Never breezed on it. I was very surprised that she was entered on it. I would have thought that Training 101 would mean (1) training on Lasix if you intend to run on Lasix and (2) doing some kind of paddock schooling before throwing a horse into a night race with lights and people... which is what I thought was happening at River Downs when she was stabled there.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
Okay we've had a team member change (much needed) and are regrouped. Carmen is off the stewards list, having paddock schooled last night AND today under saddle, we've got the jockey a very experienced trainer has selected, he is sending someone to saddle, and we are OFF Lasix for this coming Thursday, again MSW $21K F&M 3+ but 6f this time. This is her first start, and if she comes out well it will be a prep for a mile next week. If she wins of course she is out of the maidens and we have to look elsewhere..

Lots of luck then Madelyn but I would not be looking too far ahead yet until you get through this next test. It seems that going a mile soon after a one turn first time start is a lot to ask any horse especially one that had such a traumatic introduction to the game. Anyway I will be watching with great interest,again Madelyn best wishes.
We got in for Thursday 9/20 MSW $21K, 6f at Turfway. She was classy and professional - she was not expected to do anything much at six furlongs except "work" - she broke really well, the jockey liked her a lot, and we are pointing at a mile and a sixteenth a bit later on. It was a very good schooling race.
Rocking Trick had a winner yesterday at Hoosier Park named Little Cordelia. A good omen.

Our new team member has sent us back to a bit of a new regimen and Carmen worked 5 in 1.03 flat the other day, a marked improvement on her works. I feel like we are finally getting somewhere.
In another odd twist, I had found some racehorses for a client in NJ (that have done Really Well), and I ended up with a piece of the most recent one, a nice grey son of Unbridled Energy. I sent him to the same trainer that has taken over Carmen and after just four weeks of galloping (off a 3 mo layoff) the horse worked 3 in 34.4 and we are thinking/dreaming about a gray horse starter handicap at Parx in October....
