Yesterday was a long but very happy day, I rode out 3 lots before setting off to North Carlton where Saint Charles proved to be the horse we know his is. He has a touch of class and Sam gave him a super ride taking up the running 3 out, he went on to win hard held. He now has an entry in The Festival Sale at Cheltenham and I think he will be one of the stand out lots. He certainly deserves to be. His time yesterday was very quick and he beat a good horse of Waley-Cohen's by King's Theatre with his head in his chest.
Note to self - North Carlton is very sharp and choose the horses very carefully that you send there. The ground was Good to Firm, Firm in places! Cavite Epsilon stayed in the lorry park and will possibly run at Garthorpe next Sunday with Rebekah Rabbit.
Illicit Illusion runs tomorrow at Leicester, I hope it rains, after the few drying days we've had the ground has become very dead and tiring. He's in good shape and will put his best foot forward.
Simon Squirrel and Kelsey went for an away gallop this morning.
Liz and Hugh Webster were her to their horse by Apple Tree jump 6 fences, he is pencilled in at Larkhill on 16th March.
