Friday 31st July
Friday, July 31st, 2009Another great run this week from TOTAL GALLERY at Goodwood on Thursday, with a little bit more luck in running he could have gone closer to the winner. Richard Hughes loved him and thinks he is a definite Group 1 horse. Although this race was a Group 3, it was Group 1 standard.
FULLBACK put up a good performance first time out on grass at Ascot last Saturday being 4th in the big Handicap. He has come out of the race well and will be winning soon. CHAT DE SOIE had a nice introduction at Newmarket, has come out of the race well and worked again nicely this morning. The ground went against THAT’LLDONOWTHEN but he did ok at Yarmouth, 5th and only beaten 2 lengths. Our other runner HIDDEN CITY was disappointing and has been sold. PRIMERA ROSSA still needs further but ran ok at Beverley. I would say that MORAL DUTY was suffering from the bounce factor when disappointing at Leicester.
AVOW runs at Goodwood today - a hot race but he is in good nick. SPUTNIK ONE is having his first run for The Moore The Merrier syndicate at Bath tonight and will improve a lot for the run. EMMA JEAN LASS (also at Bath) will run a big race - she too is in good nick.
A few runners at Newbury on Sunday. How they run will depend a lot on the ground but the races look competitive.
A good weekend for Faye last week, riding a winner at Chepstow on Friday evening (her Birthday) and then a 3rd in the Ladies race at Ascot on Saturday - well done to her !
