Back in business

Back from Fort Worth and my Texas adventures. Good to be home! Eager to get back to working the horses. Hopefully Cat has healed up so we can get her going again. Polly has been a handful during my absence and sure needs to be put to work also. Camillas Eros I think has benefitted most from a 10 day rest to soak up all the new info and we're going to pick up where we left off.

Watching the first 2 go's of the Super Stakes Classic in Ft Worth, you really appreciate the quality of horses and horsemen on the other side of the pond. It takes a special horse to go all the way in Will Rogers Coliseum and I really applaude our friends Styrbjörn & Monas decision to go for it with their new mare Miss Hickory Cat! Though the result maybe was less than expected, I'm sure the experience will be remembered with pleasure for years to come.

Special Nu Baby
Speaking of the Super Stakes Classic, Matt Gaines and his Special Nu Baby "won" the goarounds posting a 441.5 pts combined. An average of 73.5 to 74 in the two go's. It took a 435 to advance to the finals Saturday.

2nd go result.

Roger Wagners Stylish Martini also had impressive rounds, first go especially scoring a 222. A three way tie for 3rd between the three High Brow Cat's; 2012 World Champ. Bet Hesa Cat & Austin Shepard, Arbuckle Champ. Little Pepto Cat & Matt Gaines and multiple LTA Amateur Champ. Wiley Cat & Michael Cooper. Theese five should be the ones battling it out but former Futurity Champ. One Time Royalty has also looked decent and might have a say.

Had it not been for a lousy draw in the finals I think Clint Allens Blue One Time would've had a shot also but showing last in the 2nd set is far from ideal.
