Tims Update 8
Posted February 25, 2009Update 254: Several new things to report since the last update. This is the time of year when many horses get to go home for a winter break. King Congaree, Triumphant and JoJo have all begun their vacations. Ms MVP has gone to Florida to continue running on the turf for the winter. Saar Treaty ran last week in her first race off a break. She ran in a Stakes race and finished 5th I believe. She has come home fine but we have had to move her to live behind a screen due to her biting three people so far. Everyone will be much safer with her behind bars so to speak. Murrell's Inlet who is one of Tim's new horses ran third a few nights ago on a wet track at Penn National. Lizzie's Legend has come back into the barn and has not lost any of her fiestiness. She is still very matter-of-fact about things and watch her at dinner time. I love a filly with a bit of spunk. Anyway, that's it for now.

Update 253: Just a few updates to report. Rose To Riches made her debut at Penn National on Tuesday Night. She ran a bit green but should come on a lot with the experience. She is still a great filly to be around in the barn and we are expecting great things with her. Tap Softly ran last night and finished fourth. It was a good spot for her and of course we are disappointed that she did not finish in the money. The good news is that she is fine and will race again. Saar Treaty is steadily making her way back to the races. She seems happy and hopefully this will reflect in her races. JoJo has gone to have a much deserved break for the winter. She takes easily to having a break and loves to be turned out with friends. Tim is currently looking for a race for Marcie Lee. Hopefully something will come around soon. King Congaree should be having another start for the year before he too will have a winter break. What a loveable goof he is. Anyway, no other news to report that I know of.

Update 252: Loads of new things going on at Tim Woolley racing. Rosey is ready to run. She was meant to run last week but the PA bred race did not fill. She is mentally and physically ready to advance to the races so hopefully will get her chance soon. Saar Treaty continues to progress and is working nicely. Got A Notion won her last race and has come out of it eating well and seems to be just fine. This filly can look like a grump but really she is just a big softy. Tap Softly has grown so much hair that she had to be clipped last weekend. She handled it like a champ and is much better after training with her thick coat off. Lilly has been doing great, I'm not really sure what the next plan is for her. King Congaree will have another go at over a mile to end his year. He has gotten very tall and still has a wonderful personality. What a cool horse. Anyway, I will try to get some information from the trainer to give a more exciting update. I heard that Lynn and Donna were here last weekend. I wish I would have been there, it is such fun to get together with these ladies.

Update 251: Tim's weekend ended nicely with JoJo winning her race at Laurel on Saturday. She ran a bang up race. Both of last weeks winners have come home and are just fine. Miss MVP has come out of her race unbelievably well and the report is that she was hardly blowing after the race. JoJo is fine and is her usual quiet self around the barn. Wow, what a weekend. This week things are going fine so far. Saar Treaty is back and training well. Tap Softly is toting her rider around the track every morning. King Congaree is training towards his return to the races and is such a goof ball to be around. He is like an eight year old kid in a fifteen year old body. Rose to Riches is still as sweet as ever and does everything we ask like a true lady. She should not be far from the races. I'll try to get another update from the trainer and let you know more of what's going on.
Later
Update 250: What a nice Friday it has turned out to be. Tim has just called from Monmouth Park to say that Ms MVP won the race. What a trouper she is. She tries hard everytime and we couldn't be more delighted for her owner. Tomorrow is JoJo at Laurel. Lets hope she can have the same results.
Later
Update 249: Last week was very busy for Tim and the horses. Tap Softly went to Penn National to try running long for the first time. She did not like it. Sometimes when a horse is used to just running their heart out from the get go, it is difficult to get them to save themselves. Tap has come back feeling fine and eating well. We will go back to the drawing board. Sunday Marcie Lee ran at Presque Isle to finish third. Running from the back of the pack is her style but for this race she was left with a little too much room to make up. Triumphant ran yesterday (Monday) at Philadelphia Park. He ran a great race and finished fourth. He was just beaten for a third place finish. Abbey Rules ran for the first time last week as well. She was a little frazzled as two year old fillies can be but she will learn and improve with her next start I am quite sure!!! Rose to Ritches continues to inch her way towards the races. She has steadily improved with each piece of work and mentally seems to be handling things just fine. Anyway, just a quick update until I speak with the trainer.
Later
Update 248: What a gorgeous Tuesday morning with temps under 60 degrees when the first set went to the track. The horses were feeling fresh and Strike had to have a reminder that he was supposed to be a good influence on his girls. King Congaree came off the track with his tail over his back. What a funny boy he is. Got a Notion was accompanied by Spike and I have to say that she was a bit more solid than he was. Tap Softly was jigging a little on the way home after standing in the gate and then training a mile around the oval. She has come out of her last race in good form. Saar Treaty is back in training after several months of R & R. She looks great. Triumphant ran on Saturday night at Penn National. He finished a good third on a sloppy track. It took him awhile to get moving due to the slop hitting him in the face, but when he started to run he did great. He has come home nickering for his dinner. Anyway, I'm not sure if there are any runners this week. I will have to corner the trainer and find out.
Later
Update 247: What a beautiful Monday morning. Marcie Lee ran at Presque Isle on Saturday and ran a bang up race. She broke from the gate, ran towards the back of the pack, picked off horses slowly, got stuck behind a wall of traffic, went through a very small hole, and came rolling down the lane to finish a great second place. It seems as though nothing fazes her.
Tim did not make the trip out to Presque Isle. Robbie was riding in Saratoga last week when his horse fell at the last resulting in a broken collar bone. He will be out for awhile. Tim has managed to piece together a few riders to fill in. Strike had to work this morning. The first set he came off the track snorting and blowing so he had to go back to the track for some more work. The second set he was just fine. After jogging two turns with Tap Softly he walked off the track like a gentleman. Anyway, I'm sure there are a few runners later in the week. I will fill you in as soon as I know the details.
Later
Update 246: The humidity is still around on this Thursday morning. Tap Softly ran a great race last night at Penn National to get the win. She is such a trouper. The only issue was that she would not pee in the spit barn. Plan B was to put blinkers on her which only succeeded in getting her rushing around the stall not understanding her job. In the long run they had to pull a blood and she came home. She looked bright this morning after her late night. This weekend Tim is off to Presque Isle with Lilly. Lilly will be running sometime on Saturday. I hope it is a bit cooler out there. Strike (Spike) continues to improve. He is learned to be a great pony and I hope with a lot of work he will be a suitable replacement for Luke. Luke is enjoying his turn out time in the paddock and will shortly move to the farm where he will give the occasional ride to the kids and eat grass all day. I absolutely love having him around and can't wait to take him to the farm. Anyway, just a quick update today. I will try to corner the trainer and get some new news later...
Update 245: Foggy Friday today. JoJo ran last night at Presque Isle. She did not perform like we had hoped and the report we got was that she was not blowing a bit after the race. Tim is not sure why she did not do well but she will return today and will be checked out thoroughly. I tried out the new pony today. His name is Strike(although I keep calling him Spike). He looks a lot like Luke but is just a bit bigger. Strike and Luke have become fast buddys in the paddock and they have everyone doing a double take. They scratch each others back and seem to enjoy each others company. We are hoping that Luke will teach him a few things. Abbey seems to enjoy him and has taken to the pony with flying colors. Triumphant also enjoyed a bit of company coming home from the track in the fog. With a little work we hope Strike will be rock solid like Luke. He sure has big shoes to fill. I believe the next runner is going to be Tap Softly next week. King Congaree is back and is gallopping. Gelding him has settled him just a bit and hopefully he will return to good form. Ms MVP marched to the track this morning in the fog, and she went like a trouper. She always gives 100 percent. Rose to Riches has had a easier week. Her shins have gotten a little touchy so Tim backed off of her a little this week. She is so happy to do anything you ask. What a joy to work with. Anyway, enough for now.
Later
Update 244: What a beautiful Friday morning her in Fair Hill. Last night Triumphant ran a bang up race at Penn National. He was in front down the lane and just got nipped at the wire to take second place by a neck. The excitement of the race made the late night at beautiful Penn National a lot better. Carrot man George has reported that this morning he took as many mints as he could and was quite alert. Anyway, that's all for now.
later
Update 243: We started out with a little rain on this Thursday morning and now it is just grey out. Well over the weekend Lilly won at Presque Isle. She is a sister to Who's Happy. We have hopes that she will earn Stakes status just like her big sister's. She has come home just fine. Tap Softly is ready to run again. Her last race didn't take a bit of energy out of her. Our Hearthrob is now hand walking in the barn. Recovery from her surgery has worked out perfectly and she is now enjoying some time out of her stall. The time spent out of her stall is very controlled time because she is a very active girl. So far she is cooperating fine with the exception of giving her owner a hard time. Anyway, Tim is off to the races this evening with Triumphant. He is ready to run and hopefully will feel the need to get to the front.
Later
Update 242: Today is a muggy & buggy Friday morning and we are expecting storms. Last week was a busy week for Tim Woolley Racing. Test the Trust (Rosey) ran on Sunday at Philadelphia Park. She stalked the pace and won quite nicely and was claimed. The claim was unexpected but we are happy that she was fully prepared to run her best. She behaved like a champ... JoJo ran at Philadelphia Park this week on Tuesday. She was upset in the gate and over anticipated the break, hitting her eye on the gate. Her eye is getting better but she looked like she had a good bop. Triumphant has been entered several times with no luck. His races have not been fully supported by others and have not gone. The two year olds are going nicely. Abbey and Rose to Riches have both gone a strong three eighths of a mile and have successfully broken from the gate. Perhaps they will be ready in a month to six weeks. King Congaree shipped back in the other day after having time off for throat surgery and gelding. He seems just fine after his brief hiatus. Anyway, Lilly will be running at Presque Isle this Sunday, wish her luck...
Later
Update 241: This weekend was a busy time for Tim. Saturday Tap Softly ran a great race at Philadelphia Park to finish 3rd in her first start. She is a quick little girl. Marcie Lee also ran last week at Philadelphia Park and finished second by a neck. She is such a grown up now and did everything right. Both fillies have come out of their races with flying colors. Rose to Riches and Abbey Rules have continued with their gate training and have advanced enough to break out the front on the next trip. There is a new stable pony at Tim Woolley Racing. His name is Strike. He is a paint like Luke and slightly larger. Maybe with loads of practice he can be as good as Luke has been. Hopefully his feet will be better than Luke's feet. Strike is a cross with a thoroughbred so he doesn't have the tiny quarter horse feet. Good Luck!!!
later
Update 240: What a gorgeous and cool Monday morning. The horses trained before any of the heat set in and all is well in Woolley world. Last week ending up working out ok with JOJO winning at Philadelphia Park on the turf. She has come home healthy and happy. Lilly did not get in the race that was picked out for her so Tim is formualting another plan for her. The two year olds are training well. Rose to Ritches is a tall, leggy, chestnut filly with loads of personality. She is partnered up with Lizzies Legend, the first homebred for Two Legends Farm. Lizzie is a tough broad. Watch out when you pass her stall, she is very protective of her space, and lets not even talk about her dinner. Mr and Mrs Carlson has finally taken the plunge into Racehorse ownership with their purchase of Ave Ravina. She is a gorgeous filly. Abbey Rules gave Tim a little trouble last week. She apparently was not quite sure of the large group of Michael Matz horses coming at her on the path. I'm sure it won't take her long to get used to the massive sets that come from the Matz barn. She was definately making sure that she was going to be out of the way before anyone could get her!!! Tap Softly is going great and should be running very soon as well. This filly may be small but she is quick. I can't wait to see her get to the races. Anyway, have a good day everyone!!!
Later
Update 239: Many things happened this past weekend. Raj was claimed from us and my only hope is that he is taken care of and someone falls in love with him. He will be missed in the barn. Ms MVP ran a great race to just get beat for second place. She finished third and has come out of her race as happy as ever. Yesterday (Monday) JoJo ran a great race at Philadelphia to win by several lengths. What a nice filly to be around. Tim has reported that she seems fine after her efforts. Next will be Lilly who will be running this weekend.
Later
Update 238: Just a quick update on this Beautiful Tuesday morning. The cool air is such a nice break from the humidity. Well, Triumphant has come out of his race last week with flying colors. He is very impressed with himself. Perhaps the victory is a result of the loads of mints the visitors have been giving him. Lily (Who's Happy little sister) had a strong piece of work this morning and is not far from the races. Sunday morning I was taking a good look at her and she has gotten tall and strong. There should be loads of excitement when she races!!! The new two year olds are all at about the same spot in their training. Today was gate day. Rose to Riches, Abbey Ruler, Lizzie's Legend are all little fillies. The lone gelding is Luck of the Buck. All of these babies are well mannered and ready to go on. Tim has quite a busy weekend. Calcutta Clipper is on his way to Presque Isle to run on Thursday. Calcutta is a big grey gelding that is very serious about his job. He is also very serious about his dinner!!! Rajasthan will be making another trip to Colonial Downs on Friday and perhaps ?? Ms MVP will be running at Colonial on Saturday. The little filly we used to have Tail Tales (we called her Kitty) won at Colonial Downs the other day. I really miss having her in the barn but am so happy that she won. She must be happy. Anyway, hopefully all is well with the outside world.
Later
Update 237: Today is rainy Thursday. Rosetta (Test the Trust) breezed and is yet another step closer to making it to the races. She went a decent half mile and we will see how her shins come out of the piece of work. Last night Tim went to Penn National with Triumphant. The track was sealed due to the inclement weather but Triumphant would not be denied. He made his way to the front of the pack, only to be passed down the lane, but fought back to "Triumph". We couldn't be any happier for the horse and his owner (David Charlton). Hopefully he has now gotten a taste for the winner's circle.
Later
Update 236: Monday morning is here and it is cool with very little humidity so far. The weekend was very eventful for Tim. The old bugger (Rajasthan) must have found the turf suitable and decided he would win his race on Saturday. Sunday morning he was very happy with himself and one of the FOB's had dropped him off a huge bag of mints. Ms MVP also ran a very courgeous race. She was running at the front until about the 16th pole and fought it out to finish a great fourth place. I stopped to give her some love yesterday and she was nickering for her breakfast. She has come out of her race in great shape. This morning JoJo was up at Philadelphia Park to run on the turf. She is now on her way home because the race has come off the turf. We have heard that Congaree has had his surgery and has come through with flying colors. I'm sure he will be a good patient and heal quickly. His is so much fun to be around and he is missed in the barn. Anyway, nothing else new right now.
Later
Update 235: Just a quick update on this warm and sunny Friday. This is not really as much an update as it is just a blog. I was running along the NCR trail in Timonium the other day. Somehow running gives my mind enough clarity to cut through all of the caos and get back to the basics. After about 40 minutes of striving to fix the challenges of being married to someone that trains racehorses for a living, I began to do a short warm-down. My run had been steeped with prayers for guidance and ideas on just how to make sure there is some sort of balance between taking care of these wonderful horses that we have been given to train and also taking time for the other things in life. How do we keep the pressure to a minimum while still feeling like we are making every effort to make sure these animals are fully prepared to race. When I finally quit running I noticed a load noice that had been disturbing my quiet thinking time. When I finally took the time to stop and look up, I noticed a Red Headed Woodpecker and relised that this was the answer I had been praying for. Sometimes, with life and with horses, you need to be like a woodpecker, sooner or later you will peck in the perfect spot!
Later
Update 234: We had a nice Monday morning to start the week off. The Two-Year-Olds have all settled into the routine now and seem to be enjoying things so far. There are times in life where you have to move on from past dreams and look towards the future. Veiled Reference is being retired and will soon be bred. She continues to have issues with her foot and Sean and Tim think that it is best to move her into the next phase of her life. What a great mom she will make. Our Hearthrob sustained a knee injury in her last race and the decision has been made to retire her as well. She will be a riding horse after several months rehabilitation. Her love of attention and mints has not faded by any means. King Congaree was scoped the other day and he has a breathing issue that needs to be addressed. He will have surgery and a couple of months recovery before he starts back again. Tim considers himself very lucky that these injuries are not life threatening and that each horse will continue with another purpose. Woolley has been in the news a lot lately with the running of the Kentucky Derby and the other Triple Crown races, but just remember that Tim is the Woolley without the cowboy hat.
later
Update 233: Just a quick update on this beautiful Monday morning. Bunches of new Two-year-Olds have shipped into the barn. The atmosphere is reminiscent of graduating from middle school and moving to high school. We have Abbey Ruler, Rose to Ritches, Lizzie's Legend, and Luck of the Buck, all taking the next step towards their racing career. All of these babies have been well trained to make the next move. Tim will be getting very busy at Colonial Downs in the next week or so with the abundance of turf horses he has in the barn. Rosetta has been breezing well and Tim has settled on the name "Test the Trust". We'll see if we can get the Jockey Club to agree!
later
Update 232: King Congaree ran around the track at Delaware Park yesterday and has come home fine. He is like a teenager trying to play basketball for the first time. What a goof! He does everything we ask of him and I'm sure he will come a long way for the experience of yesterday. Today Tim has Nongoma and Ms MVP racing and hopefully they will run well. The first breeze day at the sales went well yesterday and my hope is that today will run smoothly. Wonder has had a setback and will need a few months off. The decision was made to geld him and he has come through that with flying colors. He is such a nice boy to be around and what a looker. Otherwise I don't know how things are going but if I hear from Tim I will try to keep you in the loop.
Later
Update 231: The weather sure is great on this Wednesday morning. Today is the first day of the gallop show at Timonium and things are going great. I spoke briefly with Tim last night and have just a few things to report. King Congaree will be running today at Delaware Park against Nicanor. The race is not on the turf which would be preferable but it will be great to see him race. Hopefully I will sneak away and get to watch the race. I know also that Nongoma and Ms MVP are both running at Pimlico in the next day or two and JoJo will be going to Presque Isle to run. Things are really cooking this weekend with the Preakness. I haven't been keeping up with the news but I hope the filly gets to run. Anyway, someone please write to me and let me know how Lacey ran.
Later
Update 230: Rainy Monday. Tim had a good ending to last week. Rajasthan ran at Atlantic Citdy and finally broke his maiden. He is such an old bugger your never quite sure what his plan is (Raj). Raj took Victor to the front end and ran his usual race to the three eighths pole. I'm not sure what possessed the old horse but he didn't stop there he kept on running. He won the race by about six lengths and has come home like it was just a walk in the park. He seems happy and is eating everything. He is a good eater to say the least. Congaree keeps edging towards the races. The toys in his stall get thrown into the shed row on a regular basis. His ball is on the roof of the stalls where he threw it a couple days ago. I will have to send Tim to retreive it. JoJo will shortly be making her way to Presque Isle. She is still quiet in the barn and saves all of her energy for the racetrack. Saar Treaty is eating well and seems to be unfazed by her recent victory. Ms MVP is really looking great after shedding most of her winter coat. Tim has tried a new feed for her and she seems to really like it. She is not too far from the races. I'm not sure what the next plan is for Triumphant except for trying him in a longer race and letting him try the turf. He is still the happy, attention seeking, cheeky boy that demands love from everyone. Wonder is really looking as flashy as ever and is coming along nicely. He breezed last week from the gate with JoJo and although she got a slight jump on him leaving there (she has run and has a lot more experience), he dug his toes in and quickly caught up to finish nicely. Saturday he had a 5/8ths breeze with Ms. MVP and handled it like a gentleman. We can't wait to get him to the races. Anyway, I will try to keep up on any news!!
Later
Update 229: Just a quick update on this sunny Monday. Tim and Mike went to Pimlico yesterday with Our Hearthrob. She gave everyone a lot of excitement popping out of the gate and running first and second all the way to the head of the lane. She got boxed in down the lane and finished off the board but what an exciting ride. I was a bit worried about the heat but Tim said she handled it just fine. Mike on the other hand was melting in the heat. Anyway, I'm not sure what is going on in the barn but if I hear of anything I will let you know.
Later
Update 228: What a gorgeous Friday morning. Great news all around today, Saar Treaty has come out of her phenomenal run yesterday with flying colors. She was a very determined filly and made her way to the front in just enough time. We also had two visitors today that enjoyed a few hours on the track. Mike Rhea came in this morning and we shipped Luke to Fair Hill to take care of him. Tim has just called to say that Mike and Luke had a great morning. Luke behaved perfectly and didn't seem to mind just hanging out. I'm not sure of this weekends runners. If I hear anything I'll let you know.
later
Update 227: Not a bad day for Thursday. The sun is trying desperately to shine. Just a quick update. Saar Treaty has come back to us from Florida and is on her way to Pimlico to race today. All I know is that the race goes off about 4pm. Good Luck !!!
Later
update 226: Well it is Wednesday afternoon and the sun has made an appearance. I need to correct my last blog in that Tim was running Draw the Line at Philadelphia Park not Penn National. Forgive me for this blunder but she ran a great second and was claimed in the process. The owner and trainer were both happy with the outcome. She is a nice filly and we hope she does well for her new owners. No other news at the moment.
later
Update 225: Tim had quite a busy weekend. Saturday he went to Charles Town with Veiled Reference. She ran a great race getting some rough racing room to finish third. Tim reported that she was fine this morning when he jogged her up. Sunday Rajasthan ran at Pimlico. He also ran third and has come out of his race like he was at a picnic. The weather was great and two thirds is not too shabby. This morning a few sets went to the track before the rain started. The horses in later sets were lucky enough to stay in the shed row. Tim should be on his way to Penn National tomorrow night with Draw the Line. Who's Happy has been retired and is starting her life as a broodmare. Lilly will have to carry on the family name. Anyway, not sure whatelse is going on but if I hear anything I will let you know.
Later
Updat 224: Today was a busy Thursday with quite a few workers! Tim reports that Tap Softly breezed with Wonder and both went well. Both of them are progressing nicely. The big, grey colt Congaree also breezed and Tim is very excited to get him to the races. It should not be far away now. Rajasthan may have a run around a point to point this weekend to give him a good work before Atlantic City opens. He is doing well and seems to be quite happy at the moment. Sometimes he can be a persnickity old man (just like his owner), just kidding. Anyway, Veiled Reference continues to feel fresh! She is a very active girl in the mornings and it will be great to get her back to the races. Who's Happy is back in training. So far she seems to be managable. Boudeville seems to be holding his own and I would absolutely love to see him get to the races. What a little speed demon he is. Anyway, that's all for now.
Later
Update 223: Tim has just called from Philadelphia Park where Draw the Line ran a great race and finished second. She behaved like a queen in the paddock and was given a brilliant ride by Billy Hollick. Both trainer and owner seem happy with her efforts. Robbie had two winners in Camden this weekend. He is currently on top of the steeplechase jockey standings. It looks as though he is going to have quite an exciting season. Tim will be off to the races again tomorrow with Nongoma. Hopefully she will do as well as Draw the Line. Sky Heat and Triumphant have both come out of their races last week with flying colors. Rajasthan may be running in a flat race this weekend at the Marlboro Races. No word on who the jockey is yet. Should be quite a bit of fun to see him run. Anyway, that's all for now.
Later
Update 222: Spoke with Tim a short while ago. Triumphant is fine. The good news is that he broke from the gate well and will come a long way with his experience. His nerves got the better of him a few times but he did stand in the gate well. He did manage to beat a couple horses accross the wire. I'm sure he will have grown up some for this race and the next one should be interesting. Thankfully Tim had a jockey aboard that did not loose his cool with Triumphant's nervousness. Billy gave him a great ride and trip for the first go. Many jockey's would have been too afraid to give him a good ride, but Billy gave him a good experience. For that we are very grateful. We will get them next time!!!
LTR
Update 221: Although it is very chilly on this Tuesday morning, the sun is now out and there is no wind. I'm not sure how things went in the barn this morning but thought I would give you a quick update. Triumphant is on his way to Philadelphia Park to make his maiden voyage. I hope that he shows some promise today. He sure looks the part of a racehorse and it would be absolutely great to see him run well for his owner's. Anyway, if I hear anything else from Tim I will let you know.
Later
Update 220: Just a quick update on this rainy Wednesday morning. Saar Treaty won a really nice race yesterday in Florida. The race came off the grass, was run on a messy track and she still won. We couldn't be more happy for her owner and the trainer Tim Hills. On another note, Tim took a Triumphant and another filly to breeze at Delaware Park yesterday to give them some more experience. Both horses did well and seemed to be fine this morning. It is always good to give them as much experience as you can before they go to the races. Anyway, if I get anymore updates from Tim I'll let you know.
Later
Update 219: Quite a bit warmer on this Friday morning and Tim has shed his ski pants. Tomorrow he may even have to take off the long johns. Sky Heat ran fourth a few days ago at Charles Town. She has come home fine and seems no worse for wear. Bubble Gum (Our Hearthrob) will be making her debut next week at Penn National. She has been training great and hopefully she is fully prepared to start her racing career. Truimphant is not far from the races, some time towards the end of the month Tim has a race picked for him. He is still happy and as loveable as ever. Whenever I see King Congaree he seems to have grown taller. He is such a goof but is doing everything Tim asks of him. Tim is actually thinking about what to name Rosa now so all of your suggestions should help him. She is ready to start breezing and is looking for a partner to breeze with. Wonder was jumping around his stall this morning, the horses seem to sense that spring is in the air. Tap Softly was curiously watching all of the commotion in the barn this morning. I kept waiting for her to jump around bucking and kicking but she never did. Watching the action seemed to make her happy enough. Anyway, if I hear anything else I'll let you know.
Later
Update 218: A much better day weather wise this Wednesday morning. Virtually no wind and sunny. The horses seem to enjoy a bit more sun on their backs. Sky Heat is doing well and looking to race in the next week or two. She is such a quiet little girl that you can forget she is there. Ms MVP seems to be right back is the swing of things and galloping nicely. Awesome Wonder (Wonder) who is a nice colt by Three Wonders, is so flashy with his four white socks that he catches everyones attention. Boudeville is in light training at the moment with a few of his past injuries coming back to haunt him. He never misses a meal and becomes a monster with a white eye at feed time. Truimphant has come out ot the breeze on Saturday with flying colors. David Charlton was here to watch him go.
I'm not sure what the plan is for Triumphant but he can't be far from the races.
