5th January 2016

It felt like a summer’s day this morning with only a few heavy showers. It was a busy morning as Tuesday’s are generally work mornings. Legal Exit and Chase End Charlie did their last bit before Doncaster on Friday Hag Stone joined in. We worked 4 year olds by Beneficial, Getaway, Stowaway, Flemensfirth, Ballingary, Network, Robin Des Champs, Milan, Scorpion and Cirano De Sivola. It would be fair to say none disappointed given it was their first real work morning. Prior to today we have done no more than build the foundations. The rest cantered.

Anthony Bromley of Highflyer Bloodstock was asked for his 2016 predictions in today’s Racing Post; I am very flattered to have been mentioned. Thank you.

Kelsey dropped 3 in the handicap, Very Intense and Rebekah Rabbit are left unchanged, Pinnacle Panda has an opening mark of 121. Singlefarmpayment moved to 133, he was due to go up 5 prior to Cheltenham so he’s had another 3 lumped on!

This afternoon I spent down on the schooling ground, storm Frank, his brothers and sisters caused a little damage and some of the wings needed re-staking and tying.
