Congrats to the partners on Toy Cannon's welcome return and big thanks again to Paul Pompa, Richard Kent (Ocala turnout/rehab) and Bill Mott and his staff for their patience.

Joe Bravo told me Cannon, though still a little green, felt great, was full of run and hopes he can ride him back in New York.

Let's hope the big gelding goes easy on himself and stays healthy, because we could have a lot of fun with him..

Any chance someone could put a link to the race? Had to work all day and didn't get to see it. Thanks.:)

Thanks Kev!:{>:


At least I was able to place a bet on him!:$:

Seemed to have something left as he was moving best late in the race. Congrats he could be fun.

Great run by the Cannon, thanks to all involved in getting him ready to run and congrats to all of the partners

Drinks on you at Saratoga this year :D

He ran a nice race, congrats guys. Good Luck going forward with him.

FL Derbery Day
 

Wold there be any chance of Toy Cannon running on FL Derby Day in the undercard?

I Will be there with my Dad and some friends.
Any other Dee Tee'ers going to the FL Derby. I will be wearing my DT cap!!:D

Cathy

Almost certainly no Cathy.. The plan was to get a fitness run in at GP and then head north. The first NY bred N1X ALW on grass last year was the opener on Wood Memorial Day April 7 and if that happens again, look for him there.

Thanks for the info Steve.

If he is still at Payson Park Easter weekend I will visit him.

If he gets in in NY I will be there.

Do you know of any DT members going to the FL Derby?
I would be good to see some of the gang, last time I saw DT folks was Travers 2012.

Really gearing up my Ski Club group for Travers 2013 since The Spa is 150 this year!!! It will be Monmouth Ski Club 6th annual Travers Day (minus the Hurricane Irene mess)

Always looking for a free drink.........:rolleyes:



Rumor's rock free, isolation ward will be ready when the snow melts!:D

Returned home late last night after a fabulous day !!

Our party of 8 were just overwhelmed by how Toy Cannon looked and performed on the race track. We had several collegiates in our group as well (first timers) and they loved the Thoroughbred scene. It seemed that everyone wanted a Dee Tee Stable lapel pin of their own.

And what an unexpected surprise to meet and talk to the 2012 Trainer of the Year at dinner. I was literally looking at Dale's Breeders Cup Winning Photo while touring the "Little Mike" Lounge and when I turned around... there he was. I did have to inform him that he beat DTS as well as Paul for the win photo in the 9th.

Thanks again to Steve, Bill, Paul and all involved !!! We definitely have a lot to look forward to with Toy Cannon in our stable.

I cannot wait to seeing Toy Cannon up at Saratoga, but a 2nd place finish at Gulfstream on a picture perfect day is not so bad either....

Great pics. Thanks Keith.

Thanks.:)

Appears that Wood Day is anticipated opening day for turf, so Toy Cannon would almost certainly go in if that race is again on the slate.
