Chiquilline was feeling rather well this morning, he had to leave the other horses on the gallop to do another canter and thought very little of doing so. Trouble Digger is a little stuff after his excertions at Whitfield. He is a big horse who gives it his all and I am sure he strains his muscles more than any other horse, once he'd had a trot up the wood chip he was as free as a bird. We just need some rain for him. Chiquilline will be entered at Maisemore.

Tiqris is bouncing after his run and I think we will look for a bumper for him in a few weeks time, unless someone comes and buys him beforehand. Aiden Murphy was here this afternoon to see the horses and was very complementary about them. Tom Malone is due here tomorrow to see them too.

David Allen rang to book in 3 horses, 2 to be broken and the 3rd to be ridden away again, I broke her last summer. Ben Case rents his yard off Mr Allen and I am fortunate enough to be asked to break all their young horses.

Sholti went to football training and was supported by Tilly and I. Panda went swimming with her mother.
