Of those “got to get out of here, M25 bashing, must dash” mornings…

Galloping horses at Kempton. At dawn. The glamour venues that we get to when most are still to be stirred by dull alarm…

Three unraced 2-year-olds and a new acquisition. Benoit de la Sayette headed down from Newmarket. Plenty of learning curve stuff…

A lovely debut yesterday.from DARK SUPREMACY in what looked, on paper, to be a classy Sandown maiden. Running on 4th. In amongst the very regally bred. Good beginning…

POWER OF PRAYER to Southwell this evening. The “Way Past My Bedtime” Amateur Riders Handicap. Due to go off at about midnight. To satisfy betting shop demand. There will be standing room only up and down the land…

A big night for our great friend Tess Hoppeler. Who has been part of the team for ages. An excellent rider and a lovely person, this is the fulfilment of an amateur licence dream. Cool horse, cool jockey – a potent mix…

Here’s hoping that horse and rider have a happy time on the Southwell sand…

Pitch black out there. Feels like midnight…

Horses to gallop. Roads to travel. Must dash….!!
