23 July

Updates are few and far between I,m afraid, as the summer takes hold and the work schedule increases. Last weekend was beautiful at Fences Farm. The weather was outstanding, and the horses look really really well. Important Business and Ogee are moving well, cantering upsides they will both be ready to run in about 6 weeks, Important Business has really come on for his break and he looks a totally different horse, he is strong and furnished and I am really looking forward to seeing him run this season. One plan is to get him qualified for the Jewson Novices hurdle final at Cheltenham in the Autumn, so lets keep all things crossed. Rousing Rob is doing his road work, and has started to look a little less like me, and lost a few pounds. Bobby is still out, and will come back in a couple of weeks, there are only a couple of shares left in Bobby so get in touch if you want one!!. Matty worked well at the weekend and goes to Worcester today, we have applied the blinkers and will adopt different tactics, if they work he will run well off of this low mark, if not then we may have to admit defeat. Kikos is also looking fabulous, and is proving very willing in all he does and everyone who has ridden him reports how nice he is, a chasing campaign awaits!
