What a shame that the well fancied Fred ( Red Force One) did not get his chance to race at Ascot today at the Shergar Cup meeting, he was first reserve for the 2 mile handicap. Katie had to drive in there and wait until 2 pm in the event that there was a non-runner. Sadly for connections, he remained a reserve, and came home without Racing. The plan is now to go to Nottingham next week๏ฟผ and bid for his 4th win this season ๐
Iโve been a bit slow posting this week, apologies to our Owners, followers & friends of the yard - itโs been a busy one with our girls - Indy at Pony Club Camp with Freddie and making the most of her previous hurdle jumping experience at home! Thanks to Megan Dent Photography for this shot - and Izzy has been competing with success down at Malvern with Piper. Iโm busy catching up on emails & WhatsAppโs for racing, school & paintings ! Partnership & Club updates will soon swing back into action ๐
A photo I took earlier with the greys Paul & Barley in the foreground. All watching something, I think it was Scarlett the cat, the horses seem genuinely interested in them all & I canโt think of any that dislike them.
