The heart beats faster……
Saturday April 16th 2011 – With the reappearance of the mighty Frankel this afternoon at Newbury. Sadly I don’t have the mental capacity to follow flat racing very closely but I do follow the Group races and I think the whole racing world is hoping that Henry Cecil might have a superstar on his hands,…
Read MoreThird time lucky…….
Tuesday April 12th - Having just been denied in the shadow of the post twice at Hexham this season it was third time lucky for Lucy yesterday when riding 20-1 outsider Thunder Hawk she just got the better of warm favourite Ardnaclancy for owner Robert Miller-Bakewell and trainer Stuart Coltherd; I was absolutely delighted for all…

Sunday April 3rd – I was delighted when Daasij gave us our 3rd winner of the week at Newcastle on Friday, it appears that stepping up to 3 miles did the trick and hopefully he can progress from here. All three winners are looked after by Emma Dick who having now completed the hat-trick will…

Friday March 25th – Well she says they are getting boring again, can’t read them without yawning, he says what do you expect, he has had toothache for two weeks and has lost his sense of humour, can’t eat properly so making up for it by overdosing on ice cream, not even losing any weight…

Sunday 20th March – Hmm, six runners yielded two thirds & a fourth, not bad, all ran well enough apart from Northern Flame who didn’t seem to want to know, frustrating as I’ve long regarded him as one of our best prospects, Campbell’s initial reaction was that mentally he doesn’t want to race but I…

Daasij was 5th at Catterick today, I expected him to run better than that, he returned with a nasty gash to his near fore – this may be an explanation. We run three tomorrow at Carlisle where the ground will be on the soft side; Amulree goes in the 3.15, 6 run, Native Coll runs in…

Cold & windy, snow in the air; some horses hacking today but Seeking Power, Four Fiddlers and Forcefield worked on Lucinda’s woodchip, Papamoa & Noir et Vert on our all-weather and Playing Footsie, “Alf” and Minimo on the grass. Daasij had a pipe-opener ahead of his run in the 3.20 at Catterick tomorrow, ground is…

Colder today, busy weekend made busier by late Friday night transfer of Buffalo Ballet from Loch Leven Equine to Royal Dick Veterinary Hospital, luckily he has made good progess there under the excellent care of John Mark O’Leary and should be home tomorrow. Some of the runners ran above expectations and some below, details on…

We have three runners at Kelso tomorrow and another three at the point-to-point at Alnwick on Sunday, the ground looks like being good to soft at both. Tomorrow Isla Patriot makes his hurdling debut in the 3.05, Peter Buchanan rides, 15 run, he jumps well at home but tomorrow will be all about gaining experience, Twelve Paces makes…

Another fine day, worked 7 on the grass (Saturday’s potential runners and those planned to go away to work on Friday), all went nicely but Northern Flame particularly caught the eye, he is a horse I have always thought the world of and he is scheduled to make his handicap debut on Saturday, I am…
