Monday 29 June

Kikos, yesterdays hero, seems fine this morning. Stuart says that he knows he has had the race, and looks a little 'tucked up'. He will have lost a fair few kilos during the race - a lot of which would have been fluids in the hot weather, but he will have a good rest now, and enjoy some down time in the paddock. It was good to watch the video again last night, and enjoy the brilliant ride that SP gave the horse, I think Kikos is getting quite a fan club judging by the emails and texts I have received - the public really do seem to enjoy a big, bold, front running chaser. I hope he continues to give us a lot of fun over the next few months. Looking at the programme book, his next run could be at Market Rasen in 3 weeks, watch this space!! Daurica will be the yards next runner - hopefully at Worcester on Wednesday.
