A double yesterday with Cuneo winning the Bumper at Tramore for Henry de Bromhead and CALIX delafayette winning the first at Kelso by 18 Lengths.

We had a very good day at Compiègne today. Our homebred mare, Innovate, won the big handicap chase (100k euros added) by coincidence her mother gave birth to a lovely big filly by Gris de Gris yesterday morning. It was only her fourth outing in a steeple chase two of which she has won. We are hoping she will maintain the improvement especially when she runs over a longer distance. Her 3 year old half sister by Walk in the Park is entered at Goffs UK Spring Stores sales.

Also on the card at Compiègne today, CONFUCEEN got off the mark impressively, he looks as though he has a big future ahead of him. We also have his 3 year old 1/2 brother by Kapgarde going to Goffs UK as well.
