Wednesday 24 December

As we enter a period of excess for most of us, please spare a thought for the stable staff who will be doing a normal days work on Christmas Day. Horses do not know it is Christmas Day, and still need to be fed watered and skipped out, as well as do their normal exercise - so it will be just another normal day at Fences Farm. Thanks to all of the staff at Fences Farm who work so hard throughout the year to get our fun on the road, all of us appreciate your hard work very much! Boxing Day is no easier, and with a host of meetings on, and staff attending them with their horses, it is usually a hard days graft back at base. This year is no exception as two horses head to Huntingdon. Important Business is declared in the 2m 5f Handicap Hurdle - the ground drying out will suit, and this class of race represents a significant drop in grade, and he should run well. Daurica runs in the bumper, but is more of a mare for the future, with a handicap mark over hurdles. A Happy Christmas to all of you who take the time to visit our little corner of cyber space, and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!
