9th August 2012

A busy morning riding out. Tim Rootes was here to see his Tefilio filly, she will now head off to Ralph Beckett on Monday. Ralph is having a great season, every time I open the paper he's trained a winner. Ralph is a great mate of mine and I think he places his horses very well.

Connaught Square went for a swim tonight and knows his job, he went a few times last year and certainly hadn't forgotten. He is a busy horse and I will do more swimming with him as galloping him too much will blow his brains!

Anna Moore telephoned from the sales to recommend a Midnight Legend 3 year old, it made 33,000 euros!! I am looking for a cheap horse to take a punt on with a mate.

A better day on the Olympic Medal front, 3 more Golds boosting our tally to 25 Gold medals.

There won't be a blog tomorrow as I am off to Ireland and wont be back til late, I am on the 8.30 PM flight out of Dublin.
