A quiet few weeks runners wise. The highlight being Carter winning the Claydon Horse Exercisers Novices' Hurdle at Stratford. He has been a tremendous servant since he arrived. Running ten times he has won four on the flat, two over hurdles, placed 2nd twice and 3rd once. His rating on the flat has gone from 49 to 82 and now rated 120 over hurdles. His owners, Stratford Bards Racing Club, always wanted a winner at their local track. Now they have had two.

Epernay was very unlucky just getting beat in two close finishes at Sandown and Newmarket. She is still a big baby and will continue to improve. She will now have a short break.

In the yard it has been getting busy with most of the jumpers coming back into training, so there's been a lot of shouting (from the horses!) whilst they are settling back in to their routine.
