Friday 15 February

San Telm has not been declared to run in Wincanton tomorrow, as his scope this morning was not 100%. He is obviously still under the weather a bit, although last weeks blood test results indicated that he was fine. He will now have a strong antibiotic and a week on the easy and be back in action on the track in 2-3 weeks. A real shame, but you just can't run them when they are not at the top of their game! On the plus side - Benefit Cut has scoped 100% clean and if the ground dries up in Doncaster next week he will head there. Smart Exit is in the same boat as San Telm, but will still be good to go to Linfield on the 27th. Tannerman is in great form, and I have found 3 targets for him early next month.They are on the 9th and 10th, so hopefully we will pick the right race for him. Colebrooke continues to trot about the farm and will do so until his treatment next week.
