Just before lunch on Saturday I took John Hills down for a quick drink and a go at the Scoop 6, which now seems to be part of our weekly routine! John is not to good right now but he is enjoying getting out a bit to see a few people.

On Saturday Seventh Sky ran at Bangor in a Novice Chase, he made the running until the odds on favourite took him on at the 2nd last  and then rather gave up to finish 3rd. For a well bred flat horse he does jump fences very well.

On Sunday I went to Stratford to watch Area Access run, lucky he won with Harry Bannister on board. it put Harry at the top of the Amateur Jockeys Championship with only two weeks left. We are going to try and find Harry some rides to get him another winner. Area Access enjoyed the step up in trip and won with a bit still left in the tank.

I rode Sureness and Gallox Bridge this morning who were nice and fresh on a Monday morning. Tomorrow I will head off to DBS with a few orders to buy horses, I am looking forward to seeing what the sales has to offer and have already marked a few possible horses in the catalogue.
