As reported in these pages previously, Movement is in training at Rimroc Farm under the expert tutelage of Bill Wofford. She went from the turnout farm to Bill's training farm on December 26, 2005, and a few days ago I got the first training invoice. It was by far the largest training bill I have ever received, and included the following note: "Your filly has settled into her new home and training nicely. She is a lovely, well-balanced horse, so she shows a lot of potential."
Given the heft of the bill, I would have liked a little more verbiage. Alas, we're paying him to turn her into a champion race horse, not turn a phrase.
