good ready ship week
He's in good shape. We'll get ready here and then ship (to New York) about a week or so out.

Nothing was wrong, he just was not running as well as last year.

It?s fairly minor, just at a bad time,

It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and Saturday it gets pretty deep. So we'll find out. It will tell us what we've got.
deep gets nice promise saturday stepping time

again consider hope next running
I just hope they (the owners) consider running him again next year,
