Sunday 18 September

Plenty of folk about yesterday to see their horses. Always a busy time of year, when the weather is reasonable, the horses are all in faster work, and all dreams for the forthcoming season are all in tact! Alan was in to see Bold Conquest, Cloonacool, Sneaking Budge and Molly Childers. Olly H and Adrian were in to see Bold Conquest, Phil and Wendy were in to see Bold Conquest and Sneaking Budge, and Olly C was in to see his girlfriend Bev, well actually he was in casting his eye over Apasionado for a second week I think! Second Lot saw Cloonacool work with Apasionado. Both are intended runners in Market Rasen next weekend, and both worked really well - Apasionado once again catching the eye.Also out second lot was Sneaking Budge who looks in fantastic form with himself, he is very keen to get on with things, and has really been freshened up by his slightly longer than planned break! Third lot and we got to see two 2 yr old breeze like the clappers - an imoressive sight when you are used to watching National Hunt horses go about their work. Bold Conquest also slipped off the top, but not at quite the same velocity!! Molly Childers wasn't on the gallops yesterday, but will resume cantering tomorrow. Pull Together cantered first lot and seems in good shape.
