Thursday 24 March

The vet will be in on Friday morning to X-Ray Bobby Gee. He had a look at him last week and was very pleased with the progress Bob is making. An X-Ray should show up if there was a fracture, and therefore what to do next. All being well he should be able to go out in the field in May, and come back in to training in August. Bob has been off pain killers for about a week now, and seems very comfortable. While there the vet will cast his eye over Important Business who is going really well despite the scare he gave us a week or so ago. In fairness he has been on some pain relief to help him, but has been off that for a few days now and is showing no ill effects. We think that it will be merely a case of medicating a joint and cracking on after a couple of days off to let it settle down. IB is in great form, and full of his usual enthusiasm!! Sunday Sharpner goes to Chepstow today sporting cheekpieces, and on a stiff track, he should run well - he worked well at the weekend.
