Conditioning West Coast Three Year Olds

[Silver Charm]

With all of this rain and the track closings there has to be a training problem for these horses. Correct??

Forget the adjusting in the schedules for Stakes races. But what kind of possible training are the others getting when the TRACK is CLOSED.

Nothing correct? A walk in the shed row for several days inarow??

When it rains heavily in Saratoga and the track is closed for training, Barclay Tagg actually clears the shed row and jogs horses 3 or 4 at a time, in a row, for about 10 to 15 minutes each.  I was surprised to see this as I never saw any other trainer do it, and it didn\'t seem like there would be enough room.    Barclay is dedicated and hard working, always doing the best care for his stock, so maybe the California trainers are able to do the same-beats sitting in a stall all day.
