Tuesday 24 August

Daurica has been declared to run at Bangor tomorrow evening (last race - 8.00pm NICE)!! Jimmy Mac rides and she will be sporting cheek pieces for the first time. It looks a decent little heat but the number of trainers using claiming jockeys suggests that they think one or two of them are a little high in the handicap. Bobby Gee had his first little pop of the season yesterday when he skipped over the tyres a couple of times and then had a gentle go up the chase fences - all went well.He will be schooling again tomorrow, the recent rain has meant that the ground is perfect so Stuart is making the most of it!! Omaruru is kicking and bucking, and is in great old form - he really seems to be enjoying his new life as a jumper. Kikos is well, and continues to build back up to full fitness, even when he is just doing canters it is still amazing how fast he is actually travelling!
