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...

There is one jumps meeting today, a twilight fixture at Hereford but the stable does not have any runners. The first race is at 4.22pm and Rian Corcoran is in action in the lucky last and while Jack Tudor was back riding yesterday which was good to see, he does not have any booked rides today. On the flat we have the third day of Newmarket's Craven meeting and a fixture at Ripon while in Ireland there is a jumps racing at Limerick. A couple of horses caught my eye in Ireland, more so because of their breeding than anything else. In the opening mares maiden hurdle on the card, the favourite is a horse called Babyburn, a half sister to the stables mighty Ballyburn. She was too keen and disappointed in a bumper on her only start to date but she obviously shows ability as home as she is fancied to run well at home on her switch to hurdling if she settles better.
