Thursday 28 February
Pull Together makes his long awaited return to action in Newbury tomorrow. This lovely horse has not been seen on a racecourse since his chasing debut in November. On that day he jumped like a serious pro at the head of affairs, leading them all a merry dance until stopping quickly at the bottom of the hill. He was found to be a sick horse after that run, and has had a brief holiday away form the yard in the interim period, to help him recover. Delighted to say that, Stuart, having changed a few things with his regime, has him firmly back on song, and I can't wait to see him over the bigger fences again. Tomorrow looks like a warm heat despite there being only 6 runners, but Pull Together will relish the jumping test around Newbury, and he should run a nice race. There is a 1/6 share available in him - if you would like further details please email: nickbrownracing@gmail.com Figarella Borget has the first entry of her career, in a Catterick Bumper next Wednesday. This gorgeous filly is a 3/4 sister to the great Sprinter Sacre no less, and is very much pleasing those that ride her at home! If she has a fraction of the ability of her 3/4 brother she will win plenty of races! Our Bubba has met with a slight setback, and will not be seen again this season. It is nothing serious, just a knock from his run in Huntingdon, and as he has shown, he is a lovely prospect, so we will be patient with him, and enjoy him next season. Go Mille Go, another to have suffered a slight set back earlier on is now out in the field at the Elms Stud, and will be back in the summer to resume her career. Queenohearts is in fine fettle, and has her 2 entries at The Festival, although - as I keep pointing out to everyone, we will only entertain a run there if there is a huge amount of rain before the meeting, and the ground is like it was last year. She needs cut, and her main aim is the Grade 1 Mares Novice Hurdle in Fairyhouse in April. Classic Ben is also in great form, and he will have entries in a couple of weeks. Lilly's Arc has now schooled upsides and will have an entry in a hurdle very soon. We still have a couple of places in one of our 2 new investment syndicates, if you fancy a very tax efficient place to place your cash, again - details - nickbrownracing@gmail.com.
