Srart of the flat season
Friday, March 27th, 2009Everyone is looking foreword to the start of the flat season with great racing this weekend and the excitment of the 1st 2 year old races. We have a runner at Kempton Kirsty s boy (Tagula /Mayfair ) has been doing everything nice at home and he is ready for an outing at the sports , it will be good to get a line on the other 2 year olds from his run .We have a couple more 2 year olds on Monday at Lingfield with Emma Jean Lass (Choisir/ Enlisted)still alittle woolie in her coat she is going well enough to have a run French Connexion ( Chineur/ Hunzy ) a filly that has grown alot since she came in. Then we have 2x colts in at Folkestone Tuesday Moai Chinn Tire (Mull of Kintyre/ Primrose ) and Island Express (Chineur / Cayman Expresso) so its full steam ahead. They are all sharp but will improve for the runs . All the 2 year olds seem to be coming to hand but like all of us a little Sunshine would help .
Sgt Schulz ran a brilliant race on Saturday at Lingfield ( putting his Dubai runs behind him ) to win just in an exciting finish that the handicapper must have been pleased with with only about 1 lenght splitting the 1st 6 home . To Sgt Schultzs credit the race was not run to suit him with a very slow pace which made him a little keen not settling for most of the race he stuck his nose out to win in a very close photo. This gave us all including Faye who looked after him in Dubai a boost as it was quiet nice race to win, the the yard had a buzz on Sunday morning and still no alcohol has passed my lips.
Sgt Roberts ran a nice race at Lingfield we will step him up in trip next time out . Hold the bucks will be dropped back in trip and some hear gear on him the long term plan will to go 3 year old hurdling
The lincoln looks as exciting as ever I think swop will run a big race as long as the ground stays good/ firm. Also we have the big meeting in Dubai I think Vodka could be the nap of the meeting, but have heard that they are getting plenty of rain over there not so good for the sun worshippers.
On my front I am feeling better by the day with the doctors pleased with everthing which has come as very good news and a great relief.
