A Matter of Perspective

On the surface, it would appear that our 2 races last week were similarly disappointing. While it is true that I am this close (imagine my thumb and index finger apart an inch apart) to throwing in the towel on No Lip, there are reasons to be optimistic about Ready to Thrill’s next race. His race on Friday looked better in person than it did on paper. He liked the turf, finished the race with some energy and will appreciate a longer distance next time if we bring him back against the same bunch in a few weeks.

The couple races we entered Angel in this weekend did not fill which means the next spots we enter may not be ideal but she needs a race and should get one within the next week or so. I am contemplating what to do with Blumin Won. There is a race I like this weekend, but it would be a little quick to come back (9 days since our claim). However, the next race I like for him isn’t until after the potential government shutdown/track closure.
