Location: Holly Ridge Farm

Weather: 48 degrees, sunny, windy with gusts, 32% humidity

Cover: Grass pasture

Age: 3 hours 50 minutes, cross tracks were 30 minutes

Tracklayer: Anne

Saber was excellent! Her start was good. The first cross track did not illicit much attention. The second one got a head nod. The third one she thought about but dismissed. The fourth one I pushed her across a little to avoid too much thought about it. You could tell she was getting fatigued toward the end of the track and the fresher scent was getting more enticing.

Her article indications were good - they had food, of course she was going to stop! She did want to boogie past the last article (with food) because her Wooba was about 10 paces past the end. That is where I told Anne to put it. I might need it a little further away, but it was well earned!
