Le Chiffre D’Or literally bolted up at Cagnes Sur Mer today winning by 20 lengths, he is owned by Gordon & Su Hall, Frank & I are delighted for them both, such fantastic supporters of NH racing. Hugo Merianne trains Le Chiffre D’Or who has taken some of his horses down to Cagnes Sur Mer.

Le Chiffre D’or is out of Miss Vitoria who is a bit more than a 1/2 sister to the stallion Blue Brezil, she is in foal to Karaktar this time.

Good to see Eloi du Puy win again today that is 3 out of three this season, now hopefully he can step up in grade. As I have said before his dam was very tough by Martaline & his Sire is Jeu St Eloi.

Very good to see Eloi du Puy follow up his win at Kelso today. As I mentioned before we always thought a lot of him. Eloi Du Puy was sent to Macaire’s Pre Trainer before being sold. The Pre trainer agreed with us that he had a lot of potential.

One Way Or Another debut today at Angoulême in à Novice Hurdle for 4 Year Olds and promptly won. Fantastic day out Delighted for One Way Or Another’s Owners Alex & Jane Nicol. One Way Or Another is superbly trained by Augustin De Boisbrunet & Capucine Augustins wife is a huge help. One Way or Another was given a cracking ride by Maxime Behocaray, a real horseman.

The day was even better for me as both my sons Frank & Rufus came, a great family day out.

One Way Or Another is out of Ryde who is the Granny to Elimay & Goshen.

Very pleased to see ELVIS MAIL winning at Kelso today, he is such a good horse. Think he has won £140k now which is no mean feet considering prize money in the UK not very generous. Thanks to Kelso race course who seem to understand rewarding owner’s pockets helps get more people into our beloved sport.

LOT 24 of the Goffs UK Foals (3rd November 2023) sales is our idea of a Top Class NH horse. If our pockets were deep we would be buying him like a shot, you cannot go wrong with this foal, class, looks, conformation, pedigree the Colt is the real Mc Coy.

Nice to see Eloi Du Puy win today at Kelso . He always showed a lot of promise here as a three year old before he left to go to the UK.

Eloi Du Puy is by a fantastic stallion over here called “Jeu Saint Eloi”, out of a lovely big Martaline mare .

We always thought a lot of him and he will hopefully go on to bigger and better things.

The photo above is of Eloi Du Puy (known here as “Rooster”) as a three year old .

Le Chiffre D’Or bolted up on his first run over here in France at Le Touquet on Sunday for Gordon & Su Hall. Le Chiffre D’Or is trained by Hugo Merienne at Chantilly.

I have not been doing the blogs for 6 months due to work. Hence a lot of winners have been missed, & not written about. Also I (Lune) am pretty rubbish with technology.

Chuffed to bits to see HIERACHY winning the Bumper at Ayr today.

HIERACHY is by the same stallion as Gold Tweet who is an extremely good stallion called ON EST BIEN & his stats are incredible. Hierachy is also out of a cracking mare who won 14 races 10 on the flat & 4 from 6 outings over hurdles. A very tough family,

Extremely happy & delighted for Alex & Jane. Also a very good job done by Nick Alexander Hierachy’s trainer, and the whole team at Kinneston who do a super job.

I Shut that D’Or as a 2 year old.
