Parchment - Weekend Entry
It has been a fairly quiet week all-round here at Pond House though Jack and myself had a good trip to Aintree, met lots of people and bought a horse! Jack and I were up there on Thursday and Friday and there was some good racing and a great atmosphere. We are also delighted to have bought Max Potential from the sales that followed racing on Thursday evening. He is a nice four-year-old by Maxios who would have won his only start in an Irish point to point had he not fallen at the final fence last month and he has settled in well since arriving. We will do a bit or work with him now to learn about him before turning him away for the summer. He is a lovely big horse who still has a bit of growing to do and he will be one to look forward to in bumpers in the autumn. Read more...

It is a big day up in Scotland today with the Scottish Champion hurdle at 2.20pm and the Scottish Grand National at 3.35pm. The track had plenty of rain yesterday and the going looked quite hard work so it will be a different kind of national than it quite often is on quicker ground. Tutti Quanti ran no race at Cheltenham last month but if he returns to his Newbury form I think he has a great chance in the Champion hurdle. He will love the ground and is about 100/30 second best in the betting and would be my selection in the race with Harry Cobden on board. The Scottish National looks a wide open affair judge on the betting and nothing immediately jumps out at me as a strong fancy, I shall watch with interest and they will need to stay the four mile trip well today.
