PORTO joins the team


As part of the arrangements concerning Orlando's use as a stallion I have acquired an interest in the useful 4yo gelding PORTO DE BOOTZ (Caballio in Blue- Star de la Chaise), who I have seen run well last summer. He was in need of a couple of runs yesterday at Vincennes but did very well, rattling home after an interrupted journey in 1.16.4. He was actually seventh, which was fortunate since if he had been sixth he would have been over the limit for a nice race on the 22nd (Tuesday night) meeting at Vincennes. (Above, waiting with David for his post-race shower in charming medieval dress!)
