Tuck took his tracking test this weekend.
He had me running nearly the entire track. He took a tiny loop (about 6
step radius) on the second turn just big enough to tangle him. He went leg
three with the lead under his legs, he slowed, and it was obviously
bothering him. so at the end of that leg, I asked the judges if I
could untangle him. The judges have his track marked as doing a
circle on that turn, but his circle was me untangling him. I had no
idea we were on the turn. Once untangled, the race was on to turn
4,where he went about 2 steps past the turn, then turned right for
about six steps, and reversed directions and ran to the glove from
there. It's was a nice tight track, very fast. The kind that never
makes a judge think. a clean classic run. He never quartered or
fringed. His head never came of the dirt except on the turns and when
he raced to the glove (which he scented, because it could not
be seen. He's trained to a down indication. He did not down. He
stood over it, then sat but I was proud of the little guy.


Congratulations on Tuck's TD. Sounds like it was a beautiful tracking job.
