Princess Cammie 2nd again

Princess Cammie came 2nd again on Tuesday at Lingfield. She travelled well behind the pace and at one point looked like the winner but was nailed close to the line by Little Indian. This was the third time she had achieved a second spot and we hope she can get her head in front sometime soon.

Horses going home in the snow

Chapter And Verse 3rd in the Lincoln Trial

Chapter And Verse ran an outstanding race in the William Hill Lincoln Trial today to grab 3rd position. It was an excellent run from a poor draw in 11. With such a poor draw Eddie Ahern had little option but to drop the horse out the back. He made steady progress down the back and tracked the favourite around the home bend. However, he couldn't get to the leaders but ran on well for third.

Valdaw WINS again

Valdaw recorded his 3rd win from 4 runs for us at Kempton last night. We were worried by the draw (which beat him last time out at Lingfield and denied him a hat-trick!) but fortunately there was decent pace in the race which allowed Valdaw to settle in behind the leaders. Eddie Ahern sent him to the front a furlong out and he managed to keep his head in front (a fast diminishing short head!).
When he arrived home last night the lads had half a dozen carrots waiting for him.
He is a real professional at home and justs gets on with his work with no fuss.
We will see how he comes out of the race and then decide where we go next with him.
