the life and times of Jack Dowie in the French trotting world, in association with my trainer and friend Marion Hue and the whole Hue family of Les Baux de Breteuil in Normandy... and in New Zealand too...

Dutchess qualifies at Addinton
Km rate of 1.22.3 over 2600m - which was what Snowball did while pulling badly and on one rein on a windy day at Chateaubriant in finishing 7th. Twilight earlier had indicated she prefers to gallop when with other horses (as opposed to trotting very well in warm-ups), which is not very useful for a racehorse!

Snowball and Twilight
Snowball just beaten for third at Cordemais; would have won if could have been driven out instead of being on one rein says MH. Right-handed now (Chateaubriant 23rd)
Twilight gets the new spreader 15 minutes before the race at Graignes; it did its job but she didn't. Also right-handed now (Chateaubriant 23rd)
