CADDO RIVER worked 3 furlongs on 10/13/2021. Last activity from him was early June 2021

That is good news. I wonder if he had a physical issue or they just decided to give him a break. Glad to see he's still active, though. I had wondered about him recently, recognizing that there had been no news of him in months.

I think Reload's number is way up from when he first started. I seem to recall he only covered a few mares at first. Or am I imagining that? I hope he is getting decent mares.

Oh, wow, it has increased, though he never had just a "few" mares. But it was dropping before that. Interesting. Thank you.

LAZARETTO won race # 10 at Parx today. His record is now 9-2-1-1. Looks like this horse prefers to be on or close to the pace, instead of deep in the pack as has been the case in many of his previous races.

PLEASECALLMEBACK won race #3 at Woodbine today. His second win in 21 starts and he did it handily. Looks like he likes the longer distances. His record is now 21-2-8-2.

PLEASECALLMEBACK is heading to a steeplechasing career. I had not realized his win on October 8th (quoted here) made him an endurance champion over a 3-race competition (link to article below). He is going to the barn of Keri Brion who trains The Mean Queen, who had the audacity to beat SNAP DECISION twice this season, about which I am still bummed.
