Visitors from far and wide

24th June 2008

Image

We had another influx of foreign visitors last week, giving the yard a bit of an international feel. Jeremy had a visit from his good friend, the Australian vet Darren Arnold, who was over in the UK for a conference and took the opportunity to call in and see how Jeremy had settled in. His visit coincided with that of Pierre Bens, Managing Director of Belebro, who had brought three scientists to come and look at our new world-class water filtration system and also our walkers, which Belebro supply the parts for. When visitors travel from all over Europe, and indeed the world, to come and see our facilities in action it serves as a reminder to us of how lucky we are to be able to use such pioneering technology in our horses

Owner visits and Royal Ascot

17th June 2008

Image

We were visited by two of our owners yesterday who had come to see how their horses were progressing. Richard Page had a good look at his two year old colt by High Chaparral who is out in the field having a bit of time to mature. The colt has grown a lot over the last few months and will come back into work soon to be prepared for racing later this year. Richard also looked in on Maidanni, who he has a quarter share in with the Resurrection Partners. John Hawkins was here to see his string of horses: Eleanor Eloise, Yvonne Evelyn and Cheonmado, who are all in work and progressing nicely (che in particular was in top form this morning on the gallops). John also seized the opportunity to cast an eye over Street Power, our three year old colt by Street Cry which he bred. The horse has really filled out and matured over the winter and is an exciting prospect - he also worked particularly well this morning. He is pictured with John, myself, rider Ed Sibbick and Jeremy.

The Aussie invasion

10th June 2008

On Saturday morning we had a mini Aussie invasion with at one point the Australians in the office outnumbering the Brits six to one. The visitors included Danny Power (pictured left with Jeremy) who worked as Racing Manger to Lee Freedman, famous for sending out winners like Makybe Diva and Miss Andretti. He is also a racing journalist and bloodstock agent who bought Doreimus who famously went on to win the Melbourne Cup. Danny cast his expert eye over a selection of our two year olds and was excited by all of them. To quote one of his favourite phrases: "you've got a few cracker's here Jeremy". He and Jeremy are old friends and took the opportunity to catch up over the weekend. It is always nice to get expert opinions on the horses we have here and the fact that we have had nothing but positive feedback about our two year old string makes us even more excited about getting them to the racetrack. Also visiting us was Australian trainer, Bill Smart, who is based at Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills. Bill was very impressed with all the facilities here and was particularly interested in the Seawalker.
