A film crew have been in the yard all day today filming a promotion for the new Mercedes Benz's snazzy new red SLK sports car to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show, I understand it includes the world premiere of a panoramic glass roof with 'Magic Sky Control' that lets the driver switch from dark to light. Unfortunately I couldn't take it for a test drive as my foot still won't work and would have been stuck on the accelerator!!
Riccardo Villa the other French bred two year old by Keltos that we bought at Deauville, came back to the yard on Friday after being beautifully broken in by Sam and Colin Huggan, he is an imposing white colt, who will certainly stand out in a race. I am trying to find a name for our other French colt by Della Francesca out of Verone as he is going very well and could be running sooner than we expected, any suggestions greatly received along with a cheque for £2,500 for a 10th share, training for one year and the chance to race in France for some serious prize money!
Premier League ran a great race in finishing second at Southwell last week, he was unlucky not to win as the winner just got first run on him, but he closed the distance to half a length. He clearly enjoyed the fibre sand surface, he will run at Wolverhampton on Friday in an apprentice race for riders that have not ridden 10 winners, so we have booked the promising Lucy Barry who has been catching the eye lately. Khajaaly will also run at Wolverhampton that day and seems to be coming back to himself after a flat run at Lingfield last time. He has proved that he loves Wolves with two good wins there.
The only other day we have runners this week is Wednesday, when Entrance goes to Kempton. She has proved that she has a liking for the track and has run her best races there. Night Orbit also runs that day over hurdles at Doncaster. He is switched back to the hurdles in a bid to gain some confidence with his jumping which he lost last time over fences at Fakenham.
