Let's Hear It for the Boy!

Power Up Paynter is on some well deserved R&R.

With racing currently halted in New York, and Aqueduct serving as a human hospital, trainer Linda Rice thought it was great opportunity to give Power Up Paynter some time off. I own in 13 horses -- most of which are in training and haven't started -- and 3yo PUP has been the reliable workhorse, starting six times, with a win, two seconds, a third, and two fourths since September The expectation is that he'll be fresh for the prestigious Saratoga meet in late summer.

Someone got some great pictures of him yesterday, galloping around his paddock at a farm in central New Jersey.
