Well done to Verni and his connections, who won the 3.30p.m. at Newton Abbot today.

 Paul & Clare Rooney have bought 4 horses from us & all 4 have won. Verni won his 2nd race today, Mixboy won his 3rd race a few weeks ago. Sainte Ladylime won 3 hurdle races last season and was also placed in a listed race at Cheltenham.  Calva D’honore won very impressively on his only run so far.

Neighbouring wine makers are just finishing off the grape harvest.  Conditions have been perfect, & they are hoping that it will be the best year this century, even better than 2015 & 2009.

She is a very good looking, athletic filly, who has come to hand well.  She will learn the basics,  i.e. ridden out on her own, hack cantered upsides and by herself,and jumping some little fences and ditches.  Afterwards she will go into training with Louisa Carberry.
