BRIGHT WORKS A HALF MILE!

WORK OUT ALERT

Bright worked a half mile this morning in 49.6!  He cruised on the rail without hestitation.  Howard says he's a fast learner.  He's getting stronger and building stamina now.  Every week is a step forward.  The condition book has not come out yet, but we are heading him to a race in the last week of August or first week of September.  I will let you know as soon as I know we have entered him in a race.

GATE WORK

BRIGHT HAS BEEN DOING GATE WORK FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS NOW.  Howard says he's smart and knows what its about.  He wants to go hard out of the gate.  No problems at all.  Bright is a cool customer and takes it all in stride.  He will do more gate work at Del Mar to prep for maximum acceleration from the stand still.   But he's already figured out thats the score.  Bright is a very smart horse.  We named him well.

LEAVING FOR DEL MAR

HOWARD IS MOVING THE WHOLE STRING TO DEL MAR ON THURSDAY.  BRIGHT WILL WORK OUT ONE LAST TIME AT SANTA ANITA AND THEN GET ON THE BUS TO GO TO THE BEACH WITH HIS FRIENDS.  HE WILL WORK OUT AT DEL MAR NEXT THURSDAY AFTER GETTING USED TO THE TRACK. 

.24 AND CHANGE!

BRIGHT WORKED OUT LAST THURSDAY AND WENT 24.3 FOR 2 FURLONGS.  (Thats 440 yards).  That's racing speed.  He loves it.  Wasn't even blowing.
