Wednesday 22 July

'Seems Fine' were the words from Stuart this morning, when I enquired about Kikos. He was just a bit lame on Sunday, but it seems it was just a strain, or he was a bit sore where he had bashed himself just above the coronet band. The good news is that all appears to be well now. He will need to be as the handicapper continues to make life hard for him!! He has this morning raised him another pound to a mark of 120 for his future races. At least he stays in the 0-120 bracket, but to keep creeping up for getting beat is so annoying, but it is testament to Kikos's consistency and courage. He must be really frustrating the handicapper because no matter what he does Kikos continues to run well, but I suppose that he will get to him sooner rather than later. Kikos will now have a bit of a spell on the easy to get over last weekends run as he has just lost a bit of weight- and we will discuss his next run in a week or two.
