All the horses cantered on the wood-chip and the babies went in the school or were long reined.
Chiquilline has an entry in the Coronation cup at Larkhill on Saturday, he's very well and if he goes there he'll run a very big race. Looking at the ground and weather forecast for Ludlow and Bangor I would expect better ground at Larkhill. Susie Sheep will take her chance in the fillies maiden and Illicit Illusion has an entry at Chaddesley Corbett on Sunday. If the rain forecast arrives, there is every chance he too will run.
We had to rush rush around a little as I am now sitting in Heathrow waiting for my flight to Dublin. I am looking at potentially buying some foals for a client tomorrow. I expect the ones I like will make too much money and I won't be buying for the sake of it.
The rugby on Saturday was disappointing, not only the result but there were simply too many unforced errors and England were pushed off the ball far too much in the first half. Twelvetrees stands out at gloucester but at international level I felt he was found out - a poor game.
Yesterday I went to look at a full brother foal to Sprit of Shankly, he's a smasher. He would, in my opinion have been one of the stand out lots had he had been offered at Doncaster last week.
