Updates

The News is becoming more upbeat to getting back to the track . Anyone else like myself that saw the The Defense Rests breeze at Turf Paradise i can inform you it was not him . we are not sure where Equibase came up with that

Mr. Fantasy had an uneventful week at Fairlawn. Dr. Baker is set to blister his ankles within the next week.

Phosphorescent is jogging at Dale's farm. He'll jog for the remainder of the week then begin getting ramped up. Dale has to get some pounds off him still, so he doesn't want to bring him in until he is a bit fitter.

The Defense Rests continues jogging. He will jog through late October and then begin galloping.

Updates .. looking better

Mr. Fantasy looks fabulous. He is turned out daily in paddock next to Tapit's Brew at Fairlawn. His coat looks good and he has grown up tremendously during his time off. Dr. Baker is set to blister his ankles on or around October 1. Click here to see a video taken of Mr. Fantasy yesterday at Fairlawn.

Phosphorescent has begun jogging at the farm to start to get him going again. Dale will gradually begin to increase the intensity with him beginning next week.

The Defense Rests has gone back under tack. He resumed jogging on Monday. We'll likely jog him until late October before turning him around to begin galloping.

Updates .. Looking Healthier

Mr. Fantasy looks great and is soaking up the sun in Kentucky. He gets turnout out during the day and is brought in at night. Terry saw him today and reports he is carrying his weight well. Buzz Chace also saw him and mentioned how good he looks. He will be blistered in the next couple weeks. We will update everybody once Dr. Baker completes the procedure. Click here for video of Mr. Fantasy at Fairlawn.

Phosphorescent- Dale wants to give Phosphorescent until the end of the month before bringing him back in. He felt two extra weeks now wouldn't be a bad thing since there's no target race we are pointing for.

The Defense Rests was scanned this week and given a clean bill of health. He will resume jogging on Monday.
