Plus 8 and raining when diving in.

A lovely afternoon spent at Ascot yesterday.

Sharing the journey with Norman Carter who lives just down the road near Winchcombe meant that I did not have to drive..

Owners are always well looked after at Ascot and a bonus was a visit to see Kevin Clancy  (Two For Gold ) in his box.. Great viewing and good company.

Sunblazer ran like a horse coming back into action. At least he showed his old spark as we were worried why he ran so badly last time..He ran well enough until 3 furlongs from home and there will be a great deal of improvement to come. … Not that many suitable races, so yesterdays race was needed.

Busy here this morning.

David Bass was in for a couple of lots.

A big team from CD Tours who were here for a morning on the gallops and breakfast. Peter Kerr back here after a week feeling poorly.
