hello, ladies


Okay, enough goofing around with trying to post pictures to this thing. As you can see below, I've got a few up to check out. You can see the balance of the shots here. My dad and I were down to Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland to visit Mass Romantic and Veiled Reference. Both fillies are to the good. Veiled Reference is still getting used to the new scene, but Tim indicated that she's coming around bit by bit. Sure, maybe I stunted her progress a day or two with all the picture taking and tracking her about, but she seemed to take it all in stride. It was kind of amusing, though, how just the silliest things would put her and another new 2yo filly on alert. When she was walking with the other filly to the training track it was funny to watch the two of them figure out together that they were headed for the track (you have to walk up and over a good-sized field to get there). They were like:

Filly One: Did you know they were taking us there?
Filly Two: No, I thought we were going to the mall .
Filly One: Are we sure we want to do this?
Filly Two: Maybe we'll go to the mall afterwards.
Filly One: So, you wanna just go?
Filly Two: Only if you want to.
Filly One: Okay, let's just take it real slow and keep our bearings.

They were like two edgy cops entering a suspicious apartment or something, each carefully scoping out the scene before advancing. I swear I heard the one shout back, "Clear!" to the other before they stepped on to the track.
