As suspected, the 'No-name' filly's hit the paddock for 6 weeks.
At first I thought this was a major setback, but I've asked a friend of mine who was born and raised in a racing trainer family and her advice that it's a very common thing to happen to 2yo's. It's just her body telling us that the bones are still developing and that she's done enough work for the time being.
The report from Rob Slade is that Kav was pretty impressed with the way she was coming along and learning the business. That's a bit heartening.
So off she goes for a rest.
I hope they watch her diet this time or she'll just fatten up again.
Of course she's still got no name, but Rob has taken this pause in her training to procrastinate even longer about doing the official business. A blessing in disguise for him, no doubt.
