26th June 2013

A busy day at the sales but a lot achieved. I have seen nearly all of Day 1 horses and there are plenty to like. Trade will be fierce and I think we will struggle to buy any. This evening the vendors are having a meeting about the scoping of horses, I will not bore you with my views on that subject again. I think they may wake up to a shock tomorrow as I know of 3 other prospective purchasers that are going to be requesting permission to scope. The vendors really need to realise that if people are spending money they should be allowed to scope the horses if they wish. Many vendors have told me that I can scope any of their horses I like and others seem much more objectionable. What are they trying to hide?

The Wi Fi in this hotel was put in when Adam was a boy scout and writing this blog with a connection that drops out every 2 seconds is no easy task. I think I will go to their "business centre " tomorrow to do so - a tiny room on the 2nd floor!
