Elmore Back
We were
initially disappointed with his run at Southwell as we all thought he would
win. However he has come back with a bit of a sore back, nothing serious but
bad enough in my opinion to think there will be considerable improvement for
his Novice Hurdling campaign next year.
Feisty Lass
She ran okay
at Ffos Las, at one moment looking like she might get a decent place. I was particularly
pleased with her jumping. However I think this is probably as good as she is.
Charlie plans to keep on running her in the hope of nicking a weak race before
she heads to the sales.
Fine Parchment
It has been
a long season for him therefore we have been slightly altering his routine to
try and keep him fresh and he is in good form. I think he will be ready to go
in 10 days or so.
King Arthur
After his poor run we got him gastric scoped
as we thought he may have stomach ulcers, which could have been the reason for
his poor run and looking backwards in his coat. However his scope wasn’t bad
enough to suggest that was the problem. Charlie thinks he may just be over the
top after racing all last summer in Germany and then coming over here running through
winter. He most likely needs a summer on his back.
Masked Man
He ran a
great race at Wincanton, he came out of it very well. He really has turned a
corner with the spring weather and looks so much healthier in his coat. It is
likely that he will head to Market Rasen on Saturday.
Mlimau
4yo Filly Kayf Tara x Explorer
She is
showing a great attitude and has come on a lot since she arrived. Her summer
coat is coming through nicely. Rose has been riding her and says she has a good
canter on her and thinks she will make a nice horse next year. She will go out
to grass soon where hopefully she will add a bit of size and mature a little.
Prolinx
He looks
great and is ready to run. We had the
back man do a precautionary check this morning; he was happy with him so we
will work him on Saturday. Charlie will then find a race for him.
Seventh Sky
He has the
most fantastic skin on him. He holds an entry at Sandown on Saturday, which Charlie
plans to take a look out. However he does remain a Novice until October so
there will be lots of opportunities between now and then. Personally I am
interested to see how he goes on better ground as he shows so much speed at
home.
Stoney Silence
He came out
of his race well. He ate up and enjoyed the next morning in the field. He will
make a very nice Novice Hurdler next year. He has already done some baby
schooling so the jumping won’t be a problem.
Van Diemens Land
He did his
first bit of work on Wednesday since his wind op. Gavin was happy with him but said he would
need a few more bits of work. I am looking forward to seeing him run on some
better ground.
Victor Leudorum
He schooled
this morning; Charlie tells me he was brilliant. He is ready to run again and
holds an entry at Huntingdon on Sunday.
Western King
He looks
very well now the spring weather is here; he is working well and is ready to
run. I don’t think the better ground will be a problem for him so there will be
lots of opportunities for him.
Who Owns Me
He really
is bouncing out of his skin at the moment. He is another one ready to run. We
just need to find somewhere where the ground is on the softer side for him.
Yazdi
He could go
to Market Rasen on Saturday, another horse that looks better now the warmer
weather has arrived. Gavin schooled him this morning and said he felt great.
The drying ground will be a positive for him.v
