Thursday 3 November

Fences Farm first thing - Sneaking Budge in fine form, really in great order, although a run in the near future looks doubtful. The ground at both tracks where he has an entry is good to firm, and he looks very unlikely to run at either. With no real rain forecast we have decided not to waste entries, and his next possible engagement will be in Uttoxeter on November 12th. Apasionado is also unlikely to run in Huntingdon on Tuesday as their ground is also quick. He will continue to have entries. Molly Childers will miss Lingfield on Tuesday - this time, not because of the ground as her race is on the all weather, but because she needs more time to recover from her cramps on Monday. She will be out in 3 weeks. All in all a frustrating time, but we need to look after them all at this time of the season. Stuart declined to run 2 in Chepstow yesterday, as parts of their track were deemed to be far to firm! SEcond lot this morning and there were a few down the jumps field. Bold Conquest got to lead some youngsters - he loves it, and is in super order!! It was the first visit of Chandos Belle to the jumps field, and she was soon skipping over some barrels - she is a natural, and very brave and willing! We have set the price of her shares at £4,800 - there are just 8 available, and 4 are already sold so get in touch quick!! She will be aimed at a listed hurdle in Aintree in a months time!!
