Ice on the windshield this morning. First one of the season. That time of year.
Sixteen days, four meets, 21 races remaining of the 2025 season. Then a big, long, deep breath and a break. Then restock, reload and aim for spring. The conveyor belt of sport, life.
One runner for the weekend. Pudding Lane makes his debut in a waiver maiden claimer for Bernie and Kate Dalton at Charleston. I saw the son of English Channel running on the turf for Vicki Oliver earlier this year, liked his pedigree (out of an Empire Maker mare) and sent him to South Carolina. Castrated, freshened up, taught to jump, the 3-year-old gets his second career started Sunday.
