Jay a local girl was in to ride out with a view to working here, she has plenty of experience with horses and is a lovely quiet rider. Hopefully we will be able to work out something that suits both of us. She is freelance and the plan is that she will work several hours here each morning. Tomorrow Alice is coming to ride out with a view to working mornings only. Again, Alice has plenty of experience and will be a huge help to us here.
An owner commented on how often my success box appears in the Racing Post, since April 2008 I have broken-in or pre-trained just short of 300 winners. I am able to work this out from my accounts as I know how much I have paid for each box in the paper. I am fortunate enough to be asked to work for successful trainers and good owners of my own. However, we must be doing something right and it is a complement to the team here.
England fell short by 51 runs to lose the final test, in doing so they have also lost the top spot in the world rankings. At the close of play last night I thought they would all be skittled out by lunchtime and it must have been a good days cricket.
