A very cold morning at Belmont. A few partners said they might come out and join Steve Zorn and me, but in the end, they decided to stay warm. It was so cold and windy, in fact, that NYRA cancelled racing at Aqueduct.
Talking Blues
Talking Blues came out of his winning race in great shape. On an extremely cold and deserted day at Belmont Park, Steve and I visited with our hero. One could sense that Talking Blues is a barn favorite after his strong performance. Many of Bruce Brown's staff stopped by with encouraging comments. Bruce feels Talking Blues is doing so well that a race later this month is a very strong possibility. Steve and Bruce are looking at races for NY Bred Claiming ($10K-$30K) for NW2L (non-winners of two lifetime) at a mile or longer.
Bruce commented how great it was to see so many people in the CVF family. Bruce and Rosie enjoyed it as much as we did.
Strings and Arrows
Strings and Arrows was acting like he wanted to get out on the track today, but with the frigid temperature he was limited to galloping around his barn. With Leah Gyamarti up in the saddle, Steve and I watched Strings and Arrows move about the barn in easy fashion. Leah and her staff have done a textbook job in getting Strings and Arrows back into racing shape. Leah is planning on giving Strings and Arrows a 5 or 6 furlong work this week, depending on the track condition. After that, Strings and Arrows will have a blowout work and be entered in the 5 1/2 furlong NY-Bred Maiden Special Weight race to be run on Saturday, January 16th at Aqueduct. We are all looking forward to seeing Strings and Arrows resume his promising racing career.
