Runner - Red Somerset

"Red" runs in the 8.20 at kempton on 30th June and rather like La Fortunata earlier on the card he has a poor draw, this time in stall 3. We claimed him when he won here in April and we gave him a break as he had a long winter campaign. His first run for us at Haydock was 11 days ago where he found the going too quick and did not let himeself down on the ground. Back on the AW he should give a better acccount of himself.

Runner- La Fortunata

The "Pocket Rocket" runs at Kempton tomorrow in the 6.20 race. She is a very genuine horse but, as her knickname implies, she is not big. She was precocious as a 2yo and performed well on the track, particularly at Kempton resulting in a high handicap mark of 72. As such she has struggled this year and needs further help from the handicapper. Being drawn in stall 1 will also severely compromise her chances.

Runner - Adoyen Spice 26th June Salisbury

Spice runs in the Apprentice race ridden by our own Barry Adams. A race for 3yo only but Spice is a good looking, well balanced individual who should appreciate the good ground.

Runner - Sweet Gale Sunday 26th Salisbury

Sweetie runs in the 5f veterans race and although it is a little on the short side for her it is a stiff track. It is a decent prize and it is worth a shot. However, we go in hope rather than expectation

Runners: Rock Anthem Newmarket 25th June

Rockie runs tonight at Newmarket. He won three times for us last year (off marks of 57,63 and 72) and as a result he has gone up the handicap. As such he is finding it tough this year and rated 75 we believe he will continue to struggle. We have jocked up our apprentice Barry Adams who rides him at home and this should help. However, we are likely to need some help from the handicapper before Rockie returns to the winner's enclosure in our opinion.

Chapter & Verse 2nd again!!

We were so pleased with "Cavies" run on the 17th June at Leicester and yet at the same time we were a little disappointed. The horse needs a decent pace and he did not get that early on in the race causing him to be a bit keen. He made his effort but the winner had dictated from the front and managed to hold on by a head. That is the 4th time he has been second for us but with a bit of luck he should get his head in front.

Bidruma 4th

Bidruma came 4th in her second start on the racecourse at Warwick on 17th June, mirroring her maiden effort. We were hopeful of a good run but we feel she found the ground a bit quick. She has come out of the race well and we are looking for other races to continue her education.

Benandonner 2nd

Benandonner ran a cracking race on Wednesday, finishing 2nd to Mahadee. The quick ground and the fast pace suited him but he once again found one too good. It was a case of deja vu as the same horse beat him on the all weather at Lingfield in the winter.

Royal Ascot

We had our first runner at Royal Ascot on Friday with Servoca who ran in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Drawn 17 he could not quite get into the race and faded to be 19 of 27. Although disappointed no to be in the frame we were pleased with the horse. Maybe next year!

La Fortunata

La Fortunata, or Pocket Rocket as we like to call her, ran her first race for us at Windsor last night. Unfortunately she had a poor draw in the No.1 stall but she ran a very good race and was battling for the lead before being overtaken in the final furlong. We will look for another 5f race on a flat track for her when she recovers from her endeavours.
