Finally, it appears that Saturday may be a comeback day for Shadow Play. He has drawn the 2 hole in the 12th race preferred at Mohawk.

He trained well Saturday, and now has appeared to battle through yet another abscess in the opposite foot to last year's problem, which showed up Sunday morning. It has been tough so far this year, but certainly we can't complain after the very good fortune we had last year. Maybe tomorrow the story may change again, but as of now, race on Saturday.
