Saturday

Ahh, Saturday morning and a free run at the golden syrup, busy morning ahead with plans for lots of the horses to work in a variety of places, then looking forward to a cracking afternoon's racing on Channel Four, I watched Sprinter Sacre's performance at Newbury yesterday, broke the course record hard held, surely the best two mile chaser we have seen for a long time.  Should be a good day but nervous about being driven for the first time by 17yo Clare later this morning, might need sedated!  Weather resumes a more normal pattern, cold and windy but we have had a good spell so no complaining.  Tomorrow we will run four or five at Alnwick p2p, then a short break for them for a few weeks, Lucy will be at Market Rasen where she rides Sir Tantallus Hawk in the 2.40, Springfield Raki in the 3.15, Rich Lord in the 3.50 and Pistol Basc in the 4.20 - it will be a busy afternoon keeping a track of everything that is going on but I am sure I will be my normal chirpy self on Monday morning, a quiet week beckons after all.... 

In the gloaming......

Tipsy Dara, Lucy and Amy head out at Ayr, pleased to report all this week's runners appear bright and well.
