Friday 13 January

A quiet day - just the news that Land league has a second entry in Ludlow next Thursday. He already has an entry in Market Rasen on Wednesday, and will continue to have entries going forward. I saw him breeze off the top yesterday and he went really well alongside Maria's Benefit, a fellow Irish Point to Point winner. Stuart has always liked Land League, and the news from the girls yesterday that he did a really nice piece of work with Wolf Ogf Windlesham, and the speedy Elusive Cowboy on Tuesday does nothing to dampen the enthusiam about him. There are shares available - so get in touch to arrange a time to come and see this fine big horse. nockbrownracing@gmail.com While on the subject of shares available - there ares just 2 shares left in Chandos Belle. She will run at one of a number of possible engagements between the 24th and 26th of January. She made a very nice hurdling debut in Doncaster last month, when she finished third, in amongst 3 other nice fillies all of whom had got hurdling experience on their side. The winner of that race defied a penalty yesterday, so the form (certainly of the first four) is strong. CB is also in fine form, and I am very much looking forward to seeing her out again! nickbrownracing@gmail.com or 07909 518902.
