I sat on Network Rouge this morning and was pleased with him, he has settled in and needed to be challenged further, after a sales prep they are sick of lunging and being longe reined around the place. He will fill out to be a smashing looking horse. If you want to be critical of any horse it is easy to find faults in anyone of them. Willie Carson told me a few years ago to look for what you like in a horse before you look for the faults. This was good advice and there is plenty to like about Network Rouge. We are debating whether or not to enter the Milan horse we bought at Doncaster in May in their sales race. Entries close on 4th September and the race isn't until March. I am sure this is purely to line the pockets of someone but it seems a crazy policy to me.
All the other horses are in good form and the yard is a happy place.
