Sweet Gale: 5th at Leicester on thursday. Sweetie went off the 9/2 fav for the 7f handicap. Although she ran her race it looks as though she is now in the grip of the handicapper. Also, it looks as though she did not quite see out the trip in this higher grade. We will probably look to bring her back to 6f next time.
Rock Anthem: 4th at Bath on thursday. Another good run from "Rockie" who we believe was a shade unlucky. The horse on his inside reared just before the gates opened and Rockie was distracted. He missed the break, which is precisely what we didn't want, which cost him two lengths and he was not beaten that far in the end. However, he has come out of the race well and we will look for another opportunity for him.
Trempari travelled down to Bath but we pulled him out when the groound went against him. The Stewards changed the going to Good to Firm and I overheard one of our top jockeys telling one of the stewards that it was GOOD TO SOFT. Needless to say we were swayed by a top jockey's opinion rather than listen to other views! Integrity in racing should extend to description of the going!!!
