12.17.22 LMS

Gusto: 2 hours old, augmented most of the NV. Strong start, strong veg turn. Weak transition. First NV turn supported, and he did well. Perfect article indication (canning lid), nice restart. Did well going up curb, next NV turn ok, good article indication…and then stumped at last turn. He lifted his head and exhaled every time he crossed the track. Watered, walked small circle with him….changed his direction….still same thing. Finally just pushed him out a bit, he crossed track and clearly found it and took it. Nice final article.

Fletch: 35“ old. Infield of track. He took me all the way, sniffed and refused all trash, actually cut the first corner directly to second leg. Dropped for article, no food in article.
