Thursday 23 April

Dauricas' brave run last night was even more meritorious than first thought, as she had the most awful trip to the races and was only in her stable for 20 minutes before she had to head out to the pre parade ring. I think she showed a lot of guts and her jumping was A1, hopefully she can go on from here. The weather forecast does not look very wet - in fact it gives dry weather until at least May 17, so we will have talks regarding the immediate future of Bobby Gee at the end of the week. It may be best if he goes out for his holidays now rather than keep him in unnecessarily for the next few weeks, with the risk of injury, when he is unlikely to run again.Kikos will run at Market Rasen on Saturday, and appears in great form. E Major will be out again in the next few weeks when we have found a suitable race for him.
