Ajero winning at Kempton yesterday took our season total to 32.. the same as we had all last season…

Julie and David Martin and Dan Hall's young horse, who is a half brother to Charbel, has now won 2 of his three starts over hurdles and looks progressive.. David Bass was impressed as you can see from his post race interview..
