New Zealand Cup


Jack may have travelled half way round the world to see the NZ cup but it was grand neice Sarah Dowie ( on the right) who managed to get her hands on it.

Great to see you again Jack - have a safe trip home

BLOG PAUSE

Moving back from France and into new London house is the explanation. ORLANDO did a good prep race in the sulky at Vincennes on the 15th October (he is 70-80% fit according to Marion) and was all set for his monte return on the 2nd November when he started favouring his posterior gauche (left back leg), so he was taken to vet. Nothing found in the leg, but a muscle in his back sounds like source, so he has had an injection. We will see shortly whether this works - it often does the vet says hopefully. If he doesn't lose more than 2 weeks work he will still be on track - has a very nice race on New Years' Eve!
I saw the rest of the ecurie last week. QUIWI is about to become less of a boy because of his recent behaviour! And QUICK could follow (but much less likely). ROSKO and ROSA are now 'in' and starting to learn the ropes.
Off to NZ and Australia on Saturday.. will see NZ Trotting Cup for first time since 1963!!
