Morney Wing WINS at Haydock! |

We schooled three horses on Thursday; Dukes Den, Gowanauthat & My Anchor. I took the children to The Malt Shovel for lunch. I had dinner at Annabelle McCalmont's on New Years Eve. The kids saw the New Year in in the hot tub and I hope 2016 is good for all of us.
Denis O'Regan came in to ride out two lots on Friday before he headed off to Cheltenham for a ride in the bumper. We had a very good lunch at Cheltenham as we were running Seventh Sky in a big race there. Seventh Sky ran a good race to finish 5th, but they went quick enough for him early on; he stayed on a bit one paced, but he picked up some prize money and certainly didn't disgrace himself!
We had a nice chap in for breakfast on Saturday called Ian, as a Red Letter Day guest. I lit the fire and watched the racing on the telly with some good racing from Sandown. I thought the final of the veterans chase was a great success! We had drinks at James Repard's on Saturday night and then went to The Palm for a very good dinner.
On Sunday we had Simon Kimber and Julie, Nick Trott and Lizzie over, as they came to see their horses after their recent victories. We then had a very good lunch in The Malt Shovel.
We all got rather wet on Monday morning (as usual) and Tommy Dowling drove me to Ludlow races where we had two runners. I had lunch with Anthony and Wendy Smith and Mark Hitchcroft. Dukes Den ran a nice race and finished 4th, so hopefully we will get a handicap mark now. We ran Gowanauthat in the 3mile chase and Tommy rode him very well to win by a neck in a hands and heels contest.
