Go Millie Go went to the right handed Ludlow yesterday - and promptly hung badly left handed - which is far from ideal. She travelled and jumped superbly as usual, but when she needed to get in a position to challenge she started to hang, and made life very difficult for Ciaran. She ended up finishing third, and Stuart and the team will now get to work on her, and try to iron out this trait. She seems fine this morning. Classic Ben schooled this morning upsides Now McGinty, and he looked fab. He will have entries in Doncaster, Cheltenham and Haydock over the New Year. Blue Bikin did her two canters this morning and was moving beautifully. She is just ticking over for now, and will do so for the next few weeks, before being wound up for her debut in a mares bumper. To get the treble up, it was also great to get a clip from Sally and Fergal this morning. Good to see Yauthym schooling up three flights of Easyfix hurdles on the all weather schooling strip this morning. As you can see she does it very nicely, and looks like a natural - as she should be! I still have a share for sale - and she is highly recommended by everyone that has anything to do with her this far! All in all, everything is looking good, and although we are yet to get a winner on the board this season - we are getting plenty of place money, and I am sure that we will break our seasonal duck very soon.
