Rosko will hopefully qualify in the near future and Snowball will become Noball in the effort to get him to progress in the right direction! Meanwhile Orlando has fathered yet another colt (4 out of 5, even bigger and better I'm told. From Ivana du Seuil, the mother of Quitus, and very French as her pedigree shows.
Quitus is proving a little frustrating,since he clearly has lots of ability and was coming to finish second (at least) at Vincennes last weekend before galloping when Marion pulled the earplugs on the turn. Next time .. he won't be at 89/1 I suspect.
Meanwhile, Down Under, Laura has recorded a very impressive kilometre rate by bungee jumping in Queenstown during a trip round the South Island with Peter and Vicki (and Thomas I assume!) She promises the video will be available and I will put it up here if I can. Tom (Trotupastorm) got to the front in the 4yo Championship, was (unwisely) relaxed by Mark Jones... and broke... the target is now the Jewels at Cambridge on May 31.
