23rd April 2013

Trouble Digger, Go Billy Go and Hopstrings schooled. Mr and Mrs Newell were here to see Hopstrings. She jumped well and is improving all the time. She will have a couple of entries over the May Bank holiday weekend.

Net Work Rouge and Virtuoso Rouge did a bit of work in preparation for their runs on Saturday. The ground is currently being given as Good Good to Soft in places, that seems hard to believe considering the dry spell we've had. It is always beautiful ground at Woodford and I am not overly concerned at this stage. I will walk it on Friday.

Megastar's full brother is in and will be pre-trained before going to Gary Moore in August.

Sadly, I missed Sprinter Sacre win in Punchestown 10 out of 10 is incredible and testament to the horse's ability, to win at Cheltenham, Liverpool and Punchestown is outstanding and a fantastic training performance. He maybe pure class but there is still much skill required to produce a horse to win at 3 festivals no matter how good they are. Congratulations to all.
