Techy got her gate card this morning, and we are now officially ready to race. She worked 4f in company from the gate this morning in 48 2/5. They officially put the work down as a 5f work in 1:02 flat, but that was just her gallop out time. She broke 2nd among the four workers, and spotted the leader 2 lengths. Randy said that the leader came off the rail a little, and she went into a very small hole between the horse and the rail, pulling even with the other horse at the wire. Randy said they were noses apart, but from his vantage he couldn't tell who was first. Tommy Pompell was up for the work, and will be riding her for her first race. Both Randy and Tommy were very pleased with the work, and how she went into a tight spot with no hesitation.
We may be racing as soon as next weekend. Randy got the Ellis Racing Secretary to write an extra - Mcl50k going 5f for 2yo fillies. Randy would prefer to start her at 5f, so if they can fill the race, we will go there. If not, then we will enter for the 28th or the 31st - both msw races going 5 1/2f.
Entries for next Saturday are due by Wednesday, so we will know then if we get in for Saturday. Will keep everyone posted.
