After what turned out to be a longer drive than expected the day at Ffos Las resulted in mixed fortunes. SUTTON VENY progressed well from her first run and I was very pleased with her effort. She travelled well before being slightly outpaced ion the final two furlongs although I am very confident this was purely lack of experience. She will make a nice filly.
HORSESHOE REEF was disappointing after having made the running at a sedate pace he gave up without a yelp and there does appear to be two of him at the moment. Perhaps the pace was a little slow for him and the track may suit faster sorts but I would be making excuses.
On the subject of the track I was very impressed with the layout. Nice sweeping bends and good starting positions it was impressive and talking to the jockeys, they were all full of praise. I was slightly disappointed in the prize money
The turf seemed slightly new as expected and the drainage looks so good it could get a little firm in the drier times. All in all I thought the place was very well laid out and we enjoyed the day.
DJANGO was pulled up last night at Leicester after the jockey felt he lost his action. He seems fine this morning and I am hoping it was purely the first time on soft going which lead to the indifferent performance.
Tomorrow REMEMBER RAMON will go to Newmarket. He has been off the track for a while after a couple of niggles and the firm tracks kept him away. I am not sure the track is ideal for him but he options are few and far between at the moment and he is well at home.
Never a dull moment with horses as I had a call from Kelly (our client services manager) asking for help as her 24yo pony Sam had fallen through the top of a disused septic tank and was well and truly in the.....well you know what!
He was remarkably calm as was Kelly though he looked to be ok despite a rather nasty cut to his knee. After the help of the fire brigade and a local farmer with a telescopic lifter he was winched to safety. All looks ok with him but he was very lucky as it could have been a lot worse.
It is a big day for the family as the 'in laws' arrive from Australia for a stay. We haven
