Re-connected

Back in town after a few days away in an area with limited or no internet connectivity. Prior to my vacation, we watched Wild Adventure put in a decent effort against a tough allowance field. Just a note, when reading the Equibase results chart, the number of lengths listed next to the finish position indicates how far a horse finished ahead of the next runner. For example, W.A.'s 4-17 means that she was 17 lengths ahead of the 5th place horse. A couple readers thought it meant that she was 17 lengths behind the winner (that's how DRF charts read). She finished 4 lengths behind the winner despite missing a couple weeks of training and not coming into the race 100% fit. All things considered - a "fair" effort.

Next up: Straight Laced lands in a starter allowance race on Sunday at PID (Race 5). On paper, it looks like she measures up well - expecting a good race. Stumbling Block should be next in line as we wait for a race to fill.
