Busy Week Incoming


       Itseemslikeit Winner at Ffos Las

We enter the new week with warmer temperatures than last and a full programme of racing should take place this week without disruption according to clerks of the courses around the country.  The freezing temperatures made things a little harder work at home last week than normal but thanks to my great team of staff they kept the show on the road.  Our tractor team were in extra hours to work on the gallops to ensure they were in working order and we put down our own salt where needed to make sure everywhere was safe.  Our indoor canter is also a blessing in bad weather and it gives the riders a little respite from conditions.  Read more...

There is one jumps meeting today at Ayr and we have travelled North with Bras D'or to run there.  He runs in the 12.48pm novices hurdle over 2 miles and Jack Tudor rides.  I can't say this has been a long term plan, with the race being added to the card late on but David thought it looked a good opportunity for our six year old to get his head in front for the first time.  He has run well in both of his hurdle starts this season, finishing fifth at Cheltenham and then being runner up to a useful rival at Ludlow last time.  He is a smashing big horse who's future lies over fences and probably over a further distance in time but conditions are heavy up at Ayr with lots of recent rain and so you will need to stay well in this.  Travelling head lad Bob and the horse travelled up yesterday and had a good journey in preparation for the first race.  Jockey Jack Tudor was planning to travel up this morning with some fellow Southern based riders and so fingers crossed it can be a worthwhile trip for us all.  He is currently 11/8 favourite and with the next horse in the betting having to carry a penalty I hope he will find us very hard to beat!
