Things are warming up nicely

It was a very quiet week runners-wise with only Bavarica needing the run at Kempton on Wednesday night but there's been plenty happening in the yard.
All the horses who had been off during the winter were given their first serious pieces of work and I'm happy to report that they've all come back from their holidays as much stronger individuals. The two year olds are flying at the minute as well and it's just a case of keeping a lid on them until they can actually run in a couple of months time.

The Channel 4 cameras will be making a rare visit to Wolverhampton this Saturday and we'll be there too as Spirit of Sharjah bids to land a hat trick of wins in the listed race. I couldn't have him in any better form and if he gets a bit of luck in running, I can see him going very close.
Before that we have three runners at Southwell on Tuesday and they all have a great chance of landing some silverware. Beseech is improving with every run and Little Meadow will eventually get her head in front whilst Premier League is in great order and should be banging on the door.

My apprentice Adam Beschizza made his domestic return a winning one on Wednesday at Kempton after he came from last to first to win for Brian Gubby. Adam won't be in action this week though as he has to go up to the British Racing School for an advanced apprentice riders course along with other leading apprentices including Dale Swift and Lee Topliss.
Also back in action is my son Ross after his stint working in Dubai. He's very happy to be back on home soil but I think his tan must still be on the plane as he's virtually whiter than when he left!

My sister Poppy has taken over The Wheatsheaf pub in the village and Friday marks the grand opening of the place. Entertainment will be provided by Richard Perham's band 'The Ooh La Lads' and it should be a great night.
