ORLANDO plans

ORLANDO was worked monté at Vincennes yesterday and is now scheduled to re-enter at Rouen-Mauquenchy on October 15th (attelé, giving 25 metres), essentially as preparation for Vincennes on November 2nd (Prix Jacques Olry, Group II, monté, 2850m). Sadly Didier, Marion's cousin, has not been able to adapt to the ‘en avant’ riding style that has become universal in the last year, so Eric Raffin will be in the saddle. Sod’s Law means that I will miss both races, being in Mexico for the first and York for the second. It's a hard life!
