A New Two Year Old in the barn
Got up early, but not way to early for a trip to Hialeah Park to see "Zippy" under tack and out for a jog. The Quarter Horse meet at Hialeah is done this weekend and many outfits without runners this weekend have moved on to Oklahoma or Louisiana. It was a quiet morning except for the construction noise related to a casino facility that will occupy most of the old grandstand area of the track.
Zippy was quiet and very well behaved upon arrival at the track. The tunnel under the grandstand was no problem and the flamingos were quiet. The clocker could have had the day off because she had nobody to clock and the race track chaplain was busy speaking the improvements at the Citation Pond and a baptism on Sunday morning. This is also where jockeys that break their maidens also go for a bath.
A couple of stray trainers went out to the finish line to say hello and get a quick look as their horses came off the track and were on their way back to the stable area for a bath and maybe a walk on a whirly gig to cool off.
A homebred on the track with the owner/trainer watching every step taken.
Hope and Spring can't be far behind.
