Thursday 2 October

Mattaking and Ogee are both entered for Towcester next week. Matty in a 0-100 handicap that does not look the strongest of races, but we will have to put our heads together and discuss wether Matty and the Towcester hill are likely to be suited to each other.Ogee is in the Jewson Qualifier, a Novices Hurdle that is a qualifier for the Jewson Final at Cheltenham in October.Brett the Vet was called this morning to have a look at Important Business who has a warm joint, and he decided to have IB back to Barrettstown to do further examinations.He thinks there is a foriegn body in his joint and he needs the facilities at the clinic to locate it. So as I write he is in the lorry off to Whitchurh. I will keep you posted on his progress.
