Saturday 5 January

Many congratulations to Michael and Fiona Kehoe, who's Ringa Bay won in Lingfield yesterday. He has now won 8 races and been a fantastic servant since I purchased him out of a Cheltenham sale in May 2009. He looks a horse to follow as he only ever does enough and he could well climb the ranks! A good morning at Fences Farm. With most of ours having run in the week, none did very much - but San Telm did show up very well in his first quicker piece since his Haydock run. ST remains on course for Market Rasen later this month. Both Norse Wren and Reyno worked well ahead of possible engagements next week. Ogee and The Fonz went for a hack around the farm, Ogee showing his well being by giving Sorrel a love bite before she got on!! A master class from Paul Carberry on Monbeg Dude in the Welsh National this afternoon!! Some ride - and a good result from me as it gets me off the mark in the naps competition in the Northampton Chronicle and Echo!!
