First handslips at Otalampi training straight

Today we visited first time at our club's training straight Otalampi. On the front of starting box there were some ice and snow, but the rest of the straight was quite good. Our "A-tem" Icetrick, Rittenhouse and Cypress Night made a little bit over 150m handslip. Sysi has some overweight, Norris is in brilliant shape comparing last spring and Ritsa is ready to race (he keeps always his racing weight). 

We had also our 3 saplings by Icetrick out of The Other Taylor with us. They seems to be natural chasers. We gave them about 100m slip behind the draglure and one of them, Trick's Tot even stole the hole lure!

From A-team we had to left Zingo, Maker's Mark at home. One of his front toe was very swollen and painfull in the morning. We think that it could be a bite of wasp or something because he was only walking yesterday. The toe seems much better in the evening.
