The Generous filly and the Grape Tree Road gelding have started to learn to jump and both appear to be naturals. James backed the King's Theatre gelding and he certainly did throw some shapes and James did a great job. The horse has a annoying habit of frightening himself!
I have all but completed the re-arranging of the paddocks and if the weather warms up and stays dry all the horses will start to go out throughout the day once exercised.
A guy I know rang last week to ask me if I'd break-in 2 3 year old colts, he then went on to tell me that they hadn't been handled and he would have to spend a bit of time getting them in the lorry. I asked why they where still colts to be told that he hadn't got round to cutting them. I should think they'll be pretty wild and look forward to the challenge!!! Needless to say I haven't heard from his since, he may well still be trying to catch them!
I spoke to the clerk of the course at Uttoxeter and he says that he may have to put some water on the track, it's been a very drying day there and unless the rain comes I think Harris will be sent there. I expect it to be good to firm. He also has an entry at Worcester next week.
