Loved seeing Friend or Foe winning at Leicester today, top weight, went from the front, jumped very well, Briony gave him a very good ride, Friend or Foe looked a picture thanks to the Champion Trainer. Congratulations & very well deserved to his owners Gordon & Su Hall. Friend or Foe has an exceptional half brother going to Goffs Store Sale in May at Doncaster, called Jambo Swahili for Hallo),

Forgot to say James Reveley, Champion Jockey in France gave Thenac a peach of a ride today at Bordeaux.

Massive achievement with Thenac winning today at Bordeaux race course, he had had one run in his life at Pau where he hacked up, then not run for 2 years. Then comes out today at Bordeaux & wins. Thenac was originally trained by G. Macaire, & Thenac is a very big horse plus was a late foal, so running him as a three year old was asking a lot. Delighted for his owner Paul Basquin & new trainer T. Fourcy

Very HAPPY to see GINGER MAIL win the first at Doncaster today, AKN with us as Terry, literally hacked up. Very well trained by Nick Alexander & many Congratulations to his owners Mrs David Coltman & Mrs J Douglas Miller. Ginger Mail was very easy to do from a foal to when we sold him as a 3 year old By the great Stallion Sinndar.

Over the Moon to see Cut the Mustard win the 3.20 chase today at Leicester. Cut the Mustard is trained by the champion trainer & owned by The Unlikely Lads. Mustard won two bumpers for us before we sold her. She is a cracking mare from a very good tough AQPS family her 1/2 sister who also won is in foal to Beaumec de Houelle a very good new stallion by Martaline.

So happy to see Charm offensive win the 1.55 at Ayr today, Charm Offensive has been so consistent & today got her head in front. Delighted for her trainer Nick Alexander & her owners The Nags to Riches partnership. Charm Offensive is a big mare like her Dam Go Lison. She was never a bother as a youngster & took everything in her stride.

Very happy to see that Dancing City bolted up in his 4 year old maiden Point to Point in Ireland yesterday, Hugh Bleahen who bought him off us as a foal very kindly let me know, Hugh had told me a few weeks earlier that they thought a great deal of the horse.

Ricochet winning at Craon
