Another fine mild day in prospect, amazingly quiet forecast for next 10 days, always makes me feel uneasy for some reason, we will end up paying for it sooner or later... Lots of work on the grass gallops planned for today which remain in good order despite the daily efforts of 2000 greylag geese to remove all the grass, it is well fertilised! Looks like Lucy might be going to be lucky enough to pick up a couple of rides at the Festival in two weeks time, press seem to be going to make a story out of it, nice article in yesterday's Daily Mail and another in today's Daily Telegraph - she will be grateful for this man Ferdy for having such confidence in her to give her a chance on the big stage, his "balls of steel" quote is being well repeated, not sure she will be quite so enamoured by his quotes in the Telegraph article! (Mrs A certainly isn't), anyway, two weeks in racing is a long time so let's hope everyone gets there in one piece, today she is busy at Southwell with Seigneur des Bois in the 2.00, Samson Coolonges in the 2.35, Glasson Lad in the 4.05 and Red Danger Angel in the 5.05, late home! Some good pictures of our evening stable routine taken last night by the masterful Frank Cornfield, more on his site...
