Horse Watch Follow-Up - Applauding

Having written about the three year old filly Applauding on this blog back in July and then again in September, I don't think I need to repeat her whole story again.  However, I do want to report the good news that she is back in training, having breezed four furlongs at Keeneland on Columbus Day (16/28) and then again earlier today, October 14 (19/34).

I still have no idea what caused the one month break in her workout pattern.  Maybe she was injured; or maybe she needed the rest; or maybe Trainer Al Stall didn't like the way she was performing on the track.  Or maybe she just doesn't like working out on Saturdays, and prefers Sundays and Holidays instead.  The bottom line is that she is working over the track again, and that is good news for me and all other racing fans who would like to see this Florida bred return to action and (hopefully) once again demonstrate the form and potential that she showed as a two year old.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo

Just an quick note to let everyone know that Applauding posted a bullet workout (1/45) Saturday, being one of three horses to breeze a half mile on the synthetic main track at Keeneland in 47 2/5 (Cheery and Mop Head were the other two).

Peace and Love,
