All set for Chantilly

Tyke gets another crack at a race tomorrow in Chantilly; he’s drawn outside, in post 13 of the 13-horse field, which kinda sucks. That means he’ll either have to jump out quick and end up in front, which I don’t really want, or try to tuck in behind without being dead last. Since I’d like to see him relax and show better respiration than last time, I’d prefer he run 8th or 9th, then try to close. It hasn’t rained at all in the past week, so the going will be a bit fast. As usual, I’d prefer more cut in the ground. But Tyke seems in good very fit and happy, so now we’ll just have to see what happens.
