We still own her, but hoping she'll be sold off this workout.Alan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570505944559196118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1146355367019536532006-04-29T20:02:00.000-04:002006-04-29T20:02:00.000-04:00...speaking of workouts, here's a Christening upda......speaking of workouts, here's a Christening update for ya...not sure if Alan knows this or not, but Christening worked a bullet four panels @ Delaware Park this morning in 47.20 b, best out of 25 horses...do you guys still own her, Alan???...<BR/><BR/>...also making some noise on the worktab today was Fusaichi Samurai, the supremely talented $4 million colt who has made only TWO career starts over a year and a half...he's now strung together several works in a row (for a change), and today went six furlongs in 1:12 and change...is it possible he'll be entered in a race soon???...i'll believe it when i see it...<BR/><BR/>...also on the subject of workouts, did you guys see that Kent Desormeaux didn't show up for Sweetnorthernsaint's workout today???...unbelievable...the guy flies into Louisville to work his Derby mount, a horse he won the Illinois Derby on, and a legitimate contender for the roses next week...and then he doesn't show up???...SNS's trainer reportedly delayed the work for a half-hour, waiting for Kent to show up, and he never did...dude must have been FURIOUS...Borel finally got on board and SNS apparently worked very well...and Kent DID ride SNS in his last race, so hopefully he's familiar enough with the horse already...but damn, i'm shocked...Desormeaux's agent is saying that he simply overslept, but i mean, what are they gonna say?...that he was out late partying and was to hungover to ride?...i'm not saying that's what happened, but i'm not sure i'm buying that he "overslept"...sounds very P-Val-ish, doesn't it?...if you're gonna take the trouble to fly halfway across the country just for a workout, i'm guessing you'd probably hit the hay a little early the night before, and have the front desk give you awake-up call just in case...i dunno, just seems very strange...let's hope Kent can make amends next Saturday, i'd sure love to see SNS win the race...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1146351060404431582006-04-29T18:51:00.000-04:002006-04-29T18:51:00.000-04:00Thanks Baloo.Thanks Baloo.Alan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570505944559196118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1146327964810458542006-04-29T12:26:00.000-04:002006-04-29T12:26:00.000-04:00Thanks for the great post.
