Yesterday after work, Jarrod and I took off to San Antonio. We got there about 9pm and went to get ice cream first before heading to the Holiday Inn Express.  Freddy's Hamburgers is definitely a place to stop if you are going to Retama. It's right across I35 so you can't miss it.

As we watched the news last night and this morning, we heard all about the rain that was coming. Of course...on my weekend to visit. This was supposed to be the visit where I got to watch him work with a rider!!!

We had our breakfast and went to the track. Psymin was in his new stall as he wasn't very happy with the previous neighbor he had behind him. I don't know if he was happy to see me or not but he was feasting on his hay bag buffet. He has gotten SO DARK!! He isn't as dark as he was after we clipped him out for Scottsdale, but he looks really good. Of course, no surprise, he hasn't lost any weight. That boy likes to eat!

Since we were having terrible downpours as well as lightening, the morning exercise was cancelled. He is booked to go again on Monday. This may set us back for our projected race on October 23rd. There's still a lot of work and conditioning to do before then. As long as he gets a couple runs in before his big futurity race in December, it will be OK.

Here are some photos we took of him!

 As you can see, he's pretty "big boned"

 

 

  

Here are his new shoes!!! I get to keep them the next time he gets shod. Yippeee!
