Darned shame for CADDO, but glad the horse he lets in is BROOKLYN STRONG. How many points does he have? 10? This has been a crazy year for the KD.

Any news on HIDDEN SCROLL.? He hasn't posted a workout since he bled badly in early April. Are there any stakes races in 2021 which allow Lasix? Wonder if they can ever run him in a stakes race since he's a bleeder and most stakes races have limits on Lasix this year, as far as I can tell. Is there an alternative that can be used so he doesn't bleed?

Wish I had an answer for you, but this article has some information. I don't know anything about this kind of bleeding, and I wonder if it is a permanent condition or can be treated and cured:

This quote from the article is about a different horse, but it indicates that a bleeding episode can interrupt training for a while, so Hidden Scroll is probably not in training right now:
"Orseno pointed out that a bleeding event from EIPH can knock a horse off its training schedule. “I was supposed to run him in two months, now it's going to be four,” he said. “So I've got to tell the owners, forget the Jaipur, now maybe Saratoga, maybe not, because who knows. I don't know. You never know the damage it does to horses.”"

ROCKETRY worked 5 furlongs this morning. He makes it look so effortless.

Silver State May Bring Five-Race Win Streak To Met Mile

...Silver State could give Winchell Thoroughbreds and trainer Steve Asmussen noteworthy representation on Belmont Stakes Day in the Grade 1, $1 million Hill 'N' Dale Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park. Silver State would bring a five-race win streak to New York for the Met Mile...

“We've got the Met Mile under consideration,” said David Fiske bloodstock and racing adviser for Winchell Thoroughbreds. “He went seven-eighths in 1:21 and some change when he won at Churchill, so we feel that anything around seven-eighths to a mile and an eighth would be within his ability.”
