so shiny

Spent the better part of the day looking at yearlings up here at Saratoga. It was a pretty good time - we saw some nice ones that we might look to have a go at and got to check out some studs that we'll be interested in later on in the season. We'll firm things up in the morning, but it looks like we might have one or two fillies that make the grade (down from 22 to start). The vet still has to have his say, so there's work yet to be done. I'm glad to have made the trip, though. Will be a long day tomorrow. The auction starts at 7pm, so we'll likely be forced to attend the races to pass the afternoon. It's rough going, really. I'll have to get my hands on the Form.

All else well with the stable. Tim is looking at a race next week for Nautical Agent. Mass Romantic will breeze back this weekend and Veiled Reference will work down in Ocala. That's her last breeze (I swear this time) before coming on up to Fair Hill.

Let's see how we make out tomorrow. These two fillies are pretty exciting prospects, so our fingers are crossed that one or two breaks go our way. If they fall through, at least we'll have the late double to get our heads around...
