Through yesterday’s “Match Report”…
“Rattling” fast ground meaning that a few headed to the All Weather at Kempton as opposed to more alluring turf options elsewhere. This is England, it will rain – maybe….?!
Start at the beginning. Which is a very fine place to start…
KENERGY (Neil Callan). 4th. Needs further than yesterday’s seven. Will get a handicap mark now. Fine big horse with a future. “Work in progress…”
KITARO KICH (Neil) – 4th. Excellent comeback run after several months. Delighted with KK. Won 5 last year. Hard to repeat that, but we will try…
ATLANTIS BLUE (Benoit De La Sayette) – 4th, which was becoming a theme. Squatters rights under the number 4. Another cool run. Like KK, the outsider of the field but not running like a “rag”. By a long stretch. Sneak into that Fillies’ Handicap at Glorious…??
THINTHREAD (Neil) and MAX MAYHEM (Benoit) – I was pleased with the former’s first run for us. Plenty to work on. I have a serious soft spot for him. Watch this space. Max has an engine but sadly no longer the inclination…
TRINCULO (Neil) – acting the goon. Not nasty, but plenty cheeky enough. 5th. We will step him up to 7 and he will have his days…
MASSIMO BLUE (Neil) – wide draw. Neil pushed forward. Wide and then wider. Game and tough and gutsy. 3rd. A short head and a neck…
Great credit to those of our wonderful team who were at the races and brilliantly navigated their way through the logistics…
No runners today….
England v Mexico strategies ??? 1.00am on a Monday morning to watch Lord Kane of Tottenhamville and his mates. No strategy formed. Working on that one…
England’s women through to a Cricket World Cup Final at Lords on Sunday. Good effort…
Tallulah working in a Red Bull area at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. Earplugs….!!
Very sad to hear of the death of Graham Bradley. “Brad”. Mercurial, and prone to sailing close to the wind. But a brilliantly talented horseman who played a pivotal role in the Michael Dickenson stable. We had some laughs together along the way…
This was one of his finest hours…
