It has been a frantic day, once all the horses were done and dusted I headed off to Ralph Becketts to look at a horse. Ralph is a good friend, we shared a house together for a long time a few yeasts back and he is in fact Sholto's godfather.
The Network horse is a cracker and I am delighted with my purchase, I'll be taking my time to break him as he seems a typical French sort - afraid of his own shadow.
The feel good factor from the Olympics has been amazing and I hope that it hangs a round for a while. What a incredible tally of medals Team GB accumulated. I think we as a country can give ourselves a pat on the back. The whole Olympic experience has been wonderfully executed by the organisers. The alethlets performed out of their skins and I am thoroughly proud to be English.
Last night I went out for supper with Andrew and Micheal Chambers, Micheal has just joined a syndicate as is a judge who sits in Birmingham.
