A routine morning for the horses. Thanks to Sky + I watched the Loins test, what a brutal encounter, the hits made me shudder and I was only sitting on the sofa. I think The Lions were lucky winners on this occasion, the 2nd test will be no less enjoyable and I can't wait for it.
This afternoon I went to see Sam, his foot is a pretty ugly sight and has bolts going through it from all angles. Sam is in good form hobbling along on crutches annoying his poor mother, she must have the patience of a saint to put up with him.
Tomorrow I am making my way out to Ireland to start the hard work involved at the sales. I will watch the horses circling before their vetting, this is a good opportunity to strike some off the list and add others. I hope to start viewing them in the barns from Tuesday late morning onwards. The sale doesn't start until Thursday but there is a lot of horses to see beforehand.
