Moonlight's last foal, United, is naked as the day that he was born. And here is my respected trainer getting close to it in wishing cousin Florence Happy 40th Birthday at a surprise party I was privileged to attend. (Pity about the socks.) The evening confirmed my erroneous belief that my French improves proportionately to the amount of red wine ("Remy rouge") consumed.
Yes, Moonlight has had a fair chance and not produced anything which would justify continuing. We think the Big Prestige temperament is the culprit. So Polina replaces her as number 2 broodmare.
Orlando and Porto are ever close to the racetrack. Orlando has to requalify if he doesn't race within a year of his last start (26 May 2007 at Enghein) so it may well be before then, but he must be really ready - and if he couldn't requalify easily there would be no point in keeping going with him so that's not a good reason to rush.
Raurelia (the 3yo sister to Marion du Fanil) ran an excellent race for second this afternoon on the grass at Ranes (pronounced Ran),which conveniently for me was not far off the route from Les Baux to Mayenne.
