what does the monkey say?

Nominations are out for the Glory in Motion Stakes at Aqueduct on Sunday. You can have a look at them here. Quite a number of the fillies nominated ran in the Busanda a few weeks ago; I'd be surprised to see too many of them come back. Servis will likely ship in. Terranova's filly will go. Contessa will run something and Motion might enter one of his, too. The plus side of Motion shipping one up is that we can split the cost of the van ride (yes!). (It's those small little victories that put a smile on your face.) Veiled Reference could use the few hours to just stare the competition down, maybe talk a little trash. Or, the girls can just guess back and forth as to where they're going until they arrive in New York. "Skiing. I bet we're going skiing. You think? I wish had packed sunscreen in the van. Darn."

Entries from West Virginia should be out later today. I'll post them once available and then put something up from survey monkey so everyone can weigh in on where to run. Kate's survey is spitting out all sorts of interesting data, so another go will be fun. It's already been suggested that we ship out Veiled Reference for high altitude training in Denver with plans for taking the NYC marathon with her next year. I can just see her making that final mad dash through Central Park...
