9th November 2012

Trouble Digger and Knockdhu worked and jumped 8 fences. Both pleased me and we are on target to run them both at Whitfield. Knockdhu will be having no more than an educational run, if he's good enough to win he can do. He will not be knocked about under any circumstances. He still has a lot of maturing to do. Trouble Digger has hopefully a long season in front of him and he won't be fully wound up either.

We then jumped all the 3 year olds over poles in the school, they will all do that a few more times before heading out onto the schooling ground. All jumped well.

Billy Biscuit and Glens Boy jumped 8 hurdles and 9 fences. Glens Boy is a handicapper and Billy Biscuit did it well. He'll get plenty more schooling before he runs.

This evening I disinfected the stables and barn with my mister - always very satisfying.

I am suffering from man flu and feel dreadful so I have bailed out of supper at the rugby club and am off to bed.
