Bobby Gee goes inder the knife today.Geoff Lane, who is recognised as one of the world leading authorities on the proceedure will be carrying out the operation, and we hope that Bobby makes a full recovery. Mr Lane does all of the ops at Paul Nicholls yard, and has considerable success, so hopefully it will do the trick with our Bob. If it does he should be well handicapped next season, and should repay his loyal owners patience. Kikos will head to Stratford in early July, and looking having carefully studied the form of his Aintree run it looks less likely that we will be heading to the Galway Festival with him. I believe that to go there you have to be at least 6lb well in, and it seems as though the handicapper just about has us now, and for that reason it would make sense to stay at 'home'. Two unoriginal Royal Ascot suggestions today - Goldikova and Canford Cliffs (double them up).
