La Fortunata 4th Epsom

La Fortunata ran another fine race at Epsom yesterday to come 4th in
the 5f sprint. She had both a poor draw and ground conditions which
were softer than ideal. However, she once again very genuine and was
beaten less than two lengths despite being squeezed out with a furlong
to go. She has come out of the race well and we will look to race
again in the next few weeks. Some dry weather would be a big help to
her.

Red Somerset a WINNER

Red Somerset won at Kempton today under Neil Callan. Although he was wrong at the weights he does love Kempton and Neil gave him a great ride to win with a little bit in hand. Providing he comes out of the race ok he will go for the London Mile Final on September 3rd back at Kempton. He was 2nd in the race last year to stablemate Chapter And Verse.

Il Pazzo 3rd at Leicester

IL Pazzo ran a very encouraging race on his third start at Leicester on Sunday. He travelled well for the first 5f having gradually got the hang of racing. Also the quicker ground will have helped him. He has cone out of the race well and future plans will depend on the handicapper and the yearling bonus races.

Love Your Looks- Maiden debut at Sandown

Love Your Looks makes her debut at Sandown today. She is a big filly and is a half sister to a number of winners including Press The Button, Priere, Tamada and Port Natal. Not surprisingly, she did not run as a 2yo as she was big and backward. All the offspring, with one exception, did not run as 2yo but did well as 3yo. Interestingly, two of the winners achieved their success in August as 3 year olds and we are hopeful the filly will give a good account of herself. It is not the most competitive maiden for Sandown, at least on paper, and it would be good to get into the frame.

Mitie Mouse 2nd

Mitie Mouse ran second at Thirsk last Saturday. He looked like the winner with half a furlong to go but Guru Girl's jockey had the benefit of the rail with our lad a bit green still. It was a good performance from Mitie Mouse and we will look to go one better next time.
