Tom Campbell was here first thing to look at a couple of horses and do a routine vaccination. Otherwise we are ticking over. Alice went to Overbury Stud to collect a filly that we broke-in last winter. She will now get started again and pre-trained before going to Andrew Balding.
I have been looking at Mark Warner holidays and am seriously contemplating going on one in the school holidays. I have heard nothing but good reports about them and it appears that it is the only way to get a break without leaving the kids at home - something I don't like the idea of. Paying for it is something else I don't really like the thought of either.
I turned on ATR for half an hour this afternoon and heard Hughie Morrison saying that the grass was too long at Epsom for Banoffee in The Oaks. According to Hughie she has a daisy cutter action and the grass was too long! Even if I thought it, I wouldn't be brave enough to air it. That surely, has to go down in history as the worse excuse for any horse running a disappointing race.
