Grey skies, windy, hint of rain. But no more than a hint…
Cooler. Which is much better for man and beast. Especially those men and beasts that head out to work as the hot sun rises…
On other “sky” matters, a SpaceX Rocket is minutes away from crashing into the moon. I seriously hope it misses all the aliens, cheesemakers, the soup dragon and the clangers. Keep your heads down, guys and girls and dragons…
New kids on the block. Always interesting. LUNAR TIDE and PURPLE MOON to Kempton later. Both on debut for us having arrived here from Ireland through varied sales…
Two exciting young horses who coincidentally both won on the same Gowran Park card on April 9th for different connections. LUNAR TIDE at 11/4, PURPLE MOON at 80/1. One clearly fancied, the other a pleasant surprise…
Both horses are ready to debut for us – ideally, I would prefer to be starting off on turf. But not fast turf, and there ain’t anything else but that around at the moment…
Benoit de la Sayette up. We will learn plenty, and this evening will in no way define. Purple Moon has to give lumps of weight away to younger rivals. There are plenty of likeable types in both races, and we are clearly not the only ones headed to the all weather as drought conditions persist…
This is England, it will rain….??!!
Earlier in the day, TEX to the seaside. The famous Brighton Mile. Pat C up. A different test to the 6 furlong “Glorious” handicap in which he was eyecatching a week ago. A competitive race for sure, but our boy has bounced out the race a week ago very fresh and well. Definitely worth a roll of those dice…
Wednesday. Work morning. Must dash….
