Lonnie the impossible has happened. We now have a horse in common. I emailed Anthony asking where he planned on racing Mortlach, because if it was out east then I wanted no part of him. He replied saying Ohio and Pennsylvania. I made an offer for 250ca. It was accepted in about 20 minutes. Makes me think I should have offered less :). So partner let's kick some ASS!!!!

If you missed this morning's training sets, Mortlach trained for the first time in a race bike and went along with Rose Run Bobbie.  To say that Mortlach looked impressive would be an understatement.  Some are calling it the Trade of the Century.

I couldn't capture the entire training mile.  Two people clocked in 2:02.3, with a last quarter in 29.4

I hope that Anthony recorded the trip.  He had an excellent view of Mortlach the entire mile.

Went  back and watched the replay. Just before they turned to go Jason hopped out the bike seat and picked up something laying on the ground. Not sure if it was his or a piece of Mortlach's equipment. If it was Morty's even more impressive. Looked to be a piece of plastic, maybe black, not real big maybe a blinker? Regardless, impressive. Saw a share for sale 225.00 a few days ago and let it go. Maybe a mistake.

I'm just not a fan of acquiring someone else's problem or project horses.  I guess with Mortlach you are in a "nothing to lose" situation and I hope this situation works out for the owners.

Mortlach is in to qualify tomorrow. Anthony is listed to drive him but he's also listed to drive Pretty Eyes N Lies, I'm kind of expecting Amy to drive Mortlach considering how Pretty Eyes N Lies acted last week trying to qualify.
