Joc and I drove down to Assiniboia Downs to meet both filly and trainer. She did seem a bit shy and jumpy ( the horse not the trainer ! ) but I sensed some intelligence, as if she was waiting a bit to see what kind of people we were before warming up to us . She had been through a long journey, Florida to Kentucky to Toronto to Winnipeg , about 45 hours. So she was probably undergoing some trailer lag. .As well, her neighbour , Noble Causeway, has got to be one of the goofiest horses I've ever seen. I think our horse will ask for a new stall ! Trainer Rob Attras is going to take it easy with her for a couple of days , maybe start some light running later in the week. It's odd that I've been to the track since I was a kid but had never been in the stables area, its' like a different world. Here's a pic of her with Joc and Rob:
