Friday 28th August
Friday, August 28th, 2009We went to Fairyhouse last weekend where the ground was very soft and tacky and it didn’t really suit my horses CRAICATTACK and MNARANI. For the prize money that was on offer it was worth taking the chance and CRAICATTACK got some prize money, the other horse missed out.
At Kempton on Monday FULLBACK ran to his mark but is hard to place at the moment, the surface was too slow for PYRUS TIME and I think we will put blinkers on SPARKLING SUZIE next time she runs.
I went to Doncaster Sales on Tuesday/Wednesday, they were down by 25% but in general trade was OK. I bought two colts, one by Ivan Denisovich and the other by Pastoral Pursuits (early sort) pictures of them should be on the website by early next week.
The runners at Lingfield on Thursday ran well, I thought OFFICER IN COMMAND had done enough to win but he was beaten a head and a head into fourth. PYRUS TIME ran better on the ground and he was a further length behind in 6th. MAOI CHINN TIRE ran well from a bad draw and had no luck in running. As long as he stays in good health he will be winning soon. FRENCH CONNEXION did not stay and we will drop her back to 6f.
We have a busy weekend with runners CHAT DE SOIE and LITTLEMISSSUNSHINE will run well at Beverley tomorrow but would not want a lot of rain. SOUTHANDWEST is in at Windsor - a tight race but he is in good nick. KINKY AFRO runs at Goodwod and should run well but could still be a bit green in herself but she is big and strong and could run a nice race. FONG’S ALIBI is in at Yarmouth on Sunday and is in good form, will run well again but would not want rain.
Hope you all have a good Bank Holiday weekend.
