13th December 2016

Guy Roberts was here to see Hag Stone and New Member. Well, he didn’t see a lot of them as it was dark and foggy. He certainly saw some horses working past him but that was about it. George the flame was here with a large box of flamers for Christmas. He was here to see The Flame working and has threatened to come back tomorrow to see him schooling.

All the horses worked nicely and the 3 year olds did a bit too, they are progressing nicely and we have a super bunch to run and sell on. Boagrius kept the flag flying for horses produced here by winning the bumper at Catterick with his head in his chest. He was bought by Anthony Bromley for The Million in Mind Partnership. I knew at the time he’d robbed him from us.

Life gets a bit harder for New Member, he’s up 6 to 130, and Brandon Hill up 7 to 127. We are aiming New Member at a nice race on 27^th December at Kempton. Brandon Hill is in great shape after Warwick but we have nothing in the radar for him for a week or two.
