The weather came good and we had a lovely day hosting our racing club members at Pond House on Saturday morning. We are still wanting rain but it was nice it stayed dry and sunny for us to welcome everyone. Following a look round at the horses in their stables they were entertained by Best Night doing some jumping practice, horses loose schooling, swimming and galloping. We then paraded a few horses and held a raffle in aid of the air ambulance and served cream teas. We had lots of messages thanking us since and it is always nice to have good feedback.

It is a quieter day on the racing front with just two meetings, one under each code. There is flat action at York and jumping from Fontwell this afternoon. There is no racing in Ireland and the stable does not have any runners.

Today we are welcoming members of the David Pipe Racing Club to Pond House for their annual stable visit. About 120 people are coming to the yard this morning to see our equine stars, in the stables and on the gallops. They will see a horse swim and in the loose school, followed by some horses parading and refreshments.

We have our first jumps runner for a couple of weeks and Old Bridge runs in the opening race at Bangor this afternoon, the 1.55pm novices hurdle and Jack Tudor rides. Our four year old has run well on his last two starts when we have stepped him up in trip to 2m4f. He finished second at Uttoxeter to a well handicapped rival and then was not beaten very far at all, staying on all the way to the line in a novice event at Worcester to be second again. There are only six runners in the race and the betting suggests three horses have a chance and three horses may not! We are third favourite at 4/1 and we might have a bit to find with the principles but if he runs the same as last time I think he has a very good chance. He should be placed and hope hopefully he could win! He has run well at the track before and likes the ground so fingers crossed!

We have the first jumps action of the week up at Sedgefield today but the stable does not have any runners. There are three flat meetings at Haydock, Southwell and Lingfield and in Ireland they have their unique flat card on the beach at Laytown this evening. I keep seeing the fixture advertised and I would love to go once just to say I have been! The card gets underway at 4.30pm with three races over 6 furlongs and three over 7 furlongs and all races will be shown on Sky Sports Racing. The first race is a claimer and all horses are eligible to be claimed for 5,000 Euros and the meeting is well supported but Ireland's top jockeys and trainers.
