We haven't had any oil in the house now for 3 days, it is cold! last night I took to my bed earlier than normal, as a result I've been awake since 3 AM. The boiler man was out this afternoon after the oil arrived. There is a problem, he was unable to get the boiler or the Aga fired up, back tomorrow for another go!
All the horses had routine canters, Tom Campbell was in 1st thing to trach wash 4 of them. I am waiting to chat the results over with him, to my untrained eye they all look pretty good.
Mags O'Toole is popping in in the morning to see Billy Biscuit and a few others. It is that time of year when I am fortunate to have all the high profile agents coming to see our horses.
Sadly, due to the weather we are still a bit behind with them, thankfully, they all had a great foundation in place and are now coming to hand very quickly, a few are only 2 or 3 pieces of work off a run. Vazaro Delafayette and Knight Of Noir are likely to be out next p2p runners. Trouble Digger is entered in the Hunter Chase at Leciester next Tuesday and Lingfield Wedenesday, he is also entered at Ottery St Mary on the same day Major Martin may go to Newbury for the junior bumper.
