Just a reminder

... that there are important people in my life, as well as horses.
Like son Craig, partner Sheila and my 3 and a half year old twin grandaughters Mia (centre) and Alice.


As is so familiar in racing PORTO developed a minor muscle problem at the beginning of the week of his targeted race so no action today. He should be back in 3-4 weeks.

Querido ran a very good race in the Group 1 Prix d'Etoile last weekend, rating 1.13 (1.57.5) for the 2150m (walk-in start) in finishing fourth. This is one of the 4 'pursuit' classics in which the 3yos get 50m start from the 4 and 5yos. (Orlando ran in the monte equivalent 2 years ago, finishing fifth.) 50m is now a totally unrealistic handicap over 2150 m on the new Vincennes piste and with the new generation of 3yos. Only Olimede took on the youngsters this time and mile-rated 1.54.7 for fifth!.
