My back & West Texas Futurity

No horses rode yesterday, took a day off now that the clients horses are done and Kick The Cat gets time off for good behaviour. Started fixin the cowpen, putting up scoope gates and 2x4:s.
After that ordeal it was time to get busy assembling a new bed from IKEA.

Now, just because I'm a Swede doesn't mean I follow instructions well and especially not the IKEA ones. Fact is, their furniture are not made to be assembled by someone over 6.3 with a bad back! Crawling around on the floor looking for the right screwes, right plugs and the right plank just doesn't agree with me. Finally got it sleepable around 1 am and yes, I slept like a baby!

Me feels it in my back today though!

West Texas Futurity is underway and it´s one of the earliest 3yo futurities out there. A bit to early for my taste but still exciting to see the newbies. First go of the Futurity is Wednesday.

Summer Spec. non pro derby winner, Cancan Reyvolution sprinted out of the gates and took a 220 lead in the first go of the Derby yesterday. The horse was sold right after the Spectacular and looks to be paying imediate dividends to new owner Lica Pinkston.

Clint Allen had a decent first go as he has 3 of the top 4 and 5 of the top 10 horses so far.

Moms Stilish Cat, Olenasduallyfeather & Blue One Time being the others. Sir Stylish Lizzy, Poo Smoothie, Sly Playgirl, Smooth By Design are also in the top 15 and brothers Woodys Wildest Cat & Wiley Cat are also in the top 25.

5/6 Classic 1st go today with Dont Look Twice chasing yet another title.
