All the horses arrived safely from Ireland, glancing back at last years prices emphasises that demand for horses across the board hasn't been so strong since 2006. All those who whinge on about price money (agreed it is appalling in some cases) don't really have a defence against their argument. The proof is in the pudding and I believe that people would race for nothing. Most owners aren't in it for prize money, they are in the sport for the love of it and the buzz they get from winning a race whether it be a p2p or a race under rules.
Max Ward and Hopstrings seem in great shape and the babies from Goffs are cantering around the school. On Monday the breaking-in process starts for the horses that we bought last week.
