The 3 Pakistan cricketers under suspicion of cheating are likely to be allowed to play against England in the opening Twenty20 game at Cardiff on Sunday, unless they are charged by the police in the mean time.. Disgraceful; surely the games should be abandoned as who in their right mind would want to watch a match knowing that what they watch might not be what they should be watching.

It all seems to happen in Wales as today's headlines in the Racing Post are all about the huge gamble on Am I Blue trained by Delyth Thomas.

The front pages shows a picture of warned off jockey Graham Bradley under the heading of ''Graham Bradley rides again'' and then ''BHA to Probe Hereford gamble''

The big question is whether there was any skulduggery with Am I Blues hugely impressive win. The late jockey change should not have made that much of a difference judging by how far Am I Blue won by, but what was very odd was that the originally booked jockey Dean Coleman, who had rung the racecourse to say that was too unwell to ride because he had been to the dentist, was there at the races.

Fair enough as I too have had some bad experiences with dentists; but if I was feeling that unwell not to ride I would not then turn up to the races as if nothing was wrong; Dean Coleman was seen at the races leaning over the rails as replacement jockey Richard Johnson returned to the winners enclosure.

Dean Coleman on the other hand has a completely different story and that was that he had a puncture on the way to the races. Now that does start to make you think that something was not quiet right?

Nobody minds a good old fashioned gamble, but if Richard Johnson had fallen off or Am I Blue had run to his old form nobody would have complained; I see this story running for a while yet. The person I would like to meet though is the back person who sorted Am I Blue's problems out; whoever it was must be a genius.

It was stunning morning here this morning; hounds were out and about exciting the horses. We were hoping to see Doctor Disney, the human variety, this morning but a late change of plan meant he was unable to watch his horses Eastern Supreme and Behindcloseddoors canter. But we did have Lizzie Wills here to see her two horses Supreme Plan and Blazing Sun canter.

Tania Yeomans was here 3rd lot to watch her horse Silver Gypsy canter

We worked  Admiral Dundas and Lucky Luk. Admiral Dundas is due to run again in a couple of weeks time while Lucky Luk is still a possible for this years Velka Pardubice. Points Of View who is now back cantering after a short break is possibly heading to Market Rasen on September 25 for a £40,000 0-150 2 mile handicap hurdle.

Recovering jockeys riding out this morning.

Timmy Murphy and Tom Siddall are returning from respective race riding injuries and although Tom schooled, Timmy rode Our Flora up the gallops in front of her owners and then gave riding lessons to Tom and Sean Quinlan when they schooled second lot.. Tom Bellamy also was in for most of the morning.

We schooled Eastern Supreme, Admiral Dundas, Sonny Mullen, Silver Gypsy, Lucky Luk, Jomade, Cinderella Rose, Bishophill Jack, Smokey George, Muldon Picnic, Trouble Digger, Doctor Disny, Supreme Plan, Golden Button and  Midnight Haze over hurdles on the all-weather.

Delighted to see Double Mead back in the yard this morning. Double Mead was sold to go point to pointing and was bought by The Smith-Maxwell's. Having had a summer with her they are now very keen to try and win a chase with her before she goes back point to pointing. Double Mead has to be out of the yard by November 1st so we will have to get our skates on a bit

Johnny Wills was here to watch Trouble Digger school for the first time and Bill Foylan, Tam, Steve and Eddie were here to watch Timmy ride their mare Our Flora.

Harry Bailey and Robert Bellamy have been working on the set of War Horse near Reading and because they could ride they were part of the last Cavalry charge. Apparently most of the extras could not. Last days filming today; one days filming is the same as one minute of the final film. They charged the guns about 30 times yesterday and Steven Spielberg repeatedly shouted cut!

A cold night followed by a warm morning; the yard was shrouded with a thick layer of mist first thing this morning which started to clear during first lot. Stunningly beautiful.

Graham Potts our vet was in for his weekly visit; a few blood tests and a few more teeth to rasp.

Geoff Lyons was here most of the morning filming this months Stable video; interviews with members of staff and thoughts on the season so far; and an introduction for our new website, which is slowly coming along. You cannot hurry Ian Piper!

More fall outs over the cricket scandal; shall we play or shall we not.. No... send the cheating so ands so's and the rest of the team home where I am sure they will receive a rapturous reception when they step off the airplane?

Jason Maguire is progressing well and hopes to be back in the saddle early October. Positive news and Jason feels very upbeat about the future.

John, Lisa, Max and Holly Salisbury called in to see Doctor Disny and Malindi Bay on their way to Cornwall. John has shares in both horses.

They were having a great morning when all of a sudden the Lomitas Gelding deposited poor Charlotte Geddes and galloped round the field; he was ok but poor Charlotte was not. It was visit to Cheltenham General for her to have some stitches and deal with a tooth which had gone through her lip.

Charlotte was unbelievably tough and was all for coming back to work later in the day; something we certainly did not allow.

Cricket, especially Pakistan's cricket should chop its head off in shame; what a dreadful and despicable story and how on earth could yesterdays Test match have even taken place, let alone played.

The game I love has been brought immeasurably down to gutter levels (spot Fixing); but what's so sad is that having witnessed what possible was the bowling sensation of the year, the 18 year old Mohammad Amir we then see that he too was involved.

I just hope that the ECB have the sense to cancel all the coming matches as I for one would not want to go or watch. Guilty till proven innocent? Sadly not in this case..Match over.

Lunch with Cinderella Rose's owners Nicholas and Cherry Jones yesterday; a fabulous family day with children everywhere enjoying themselves and for the grown ups a visit and tour of the stud.

Great to see Cinderella Rose's mother Miniature Rose and her yearling by Kayf Tara; sadly her full brother was away being broken. We did also see the full sister to Fame and Glory; some lucky flat trainer will be looking at her over a stable door next year.

The first cold night and earlier than normal; we have all the horses now wrapped up at night in their winter rugs which is something that does not normally happen until mid September. I hope it is not a sign of things to come.
