Ayr

Little Glenshee

Breezy but mainly dry today, a quieter day on the yeard with most of the horses hacking and a few of the summer horses having a spin on the grass gallop. We withdrew Tipsy Dara today after yet more overnight rain and will hope things dry up a little for Ayr on Saturday but I was delighted that Lucy won the race on Ferdy Murphy's Rich Lord, a timely winner if there ever was one.  Tomorrow at Ayr we run Little Glenshee in the 2.10, 13 run, Lucy rides and the ground will be soft, this looks like a warm race for her hurdling debut and education will be the key goal, we then run Isla Patriot in the 3.55, 11 run and Peter Buchanan rides, he ran a nice race over 2m 4f on similar ground at the track last time and if he improves for the step up in trip he should make his presence felt.
