Updates
Sky Afleet has really shown improvement in his training over the past few weeks, and is getting close to an easy breeze.
Tom Bellhouse was down in Camden over the weekend and watched this dude train. “Kip was right, he’s really grown up and filled out,” said Tom. “Gelding has really helped him and he’s making nice progress.”
Marketfrontrunning showed great inprovement in her scans and is going back under tack

Update
Sky Afleet started galloping every morning in Camden. “Gelding this horse has helped,” says Kip. “He’s putting his head down, relaxing, and focusing. I’ll get a few weeks of good galloping miles underneath him before doing some easy breezes and making a plan to get him back to Tom (Albertrani).”

Sky Afleet “grabbed a quarter” or grabbed his front hoof with his hind hoof, tearing the skin. You’ll see in the video below he takes a few awkward steps. This is not a serious issue, and he should be ready to head back to the track next week. Overall, he’s becoming more relaxed and making steady progress. We expect him to be ready to ship back to Tom Albertrani’s barn in early 2013.

Update
Skyafleet started easy gallops in Camden. “I’m slowly starting to see the positive effects of gelding him,” says Kip. “He’s putting his head down and isn’t as keyed up. He goes for a long jog through the woods before galloping a little less than a mile on the racecourse.”

Delayed Updates
Due to Sandy and lack of power updates are behind
Sky Afleet is jogging every day and due to start galloping next week. “He does well when we train him on the trails through the woods,” says Kip. “Varying his routine keeps him settled.”
