Thursday 30 September

I tipped 17mm out of the rain guage this morning, and we would not want too much more for Kikos on Sunday. I am sure the ground will ease considerably and we will have to keep an eye out between now and declaration time tomorrow, as we know he does not act on the soft. I think Omaruru will run, as we have a feeling that a bit of cut in the ground may well be in his favour.Stuart rode Bobby Gee on Tuesday, and quite remarkably he seems absolutely none the worse for his fall - not even stiff and sore! Back Specialist, Lucy will be in this morning to have a look at a few and will check Bobby over, and possibly give him a little massage, it can surely do no harm!
