Hi A great start to the week with a 2nd, 1st and a 6th at Hexham. Buddy had a mid air collison with the eventual winner and was lucky to finish the race never mind be 2nd. Kilmore Rock finally got Ron over the line after his disappointing time with Ask My Heather who we retired. Sheila with new Owner Andy and Mike completed the new partnership. Kilmoe will also now have time out – just for a few weeks along with Sunset Hill. Sunset Hill was 6th in a very hot bumper – not bad for a 3 mile chaser in the making! Still 25% available in this exciting new mare. Good to see lewis Duffy back on a break from Australia where he goes back to a Stallion man job for Godophin – having started his life here at Girsonfield - a few times lol. His brother Josh is head lad – both from Otterburn. Most horses are turned out for the summer now including Clear Angel who did not do so well at Newcastle – he will have his day when the ground goes soft again. We kick off 29th July with the whole yard back in work then. Foals came in for a big day of foot trimming and Vaccinations – they were delighted! New staff are starting over the next few weeks so we are all ready to go from 29th July. We also have a few new horses arriving from Ireland – and indeed have arrived – long stories !! OPEN DAY 4th August 2.00pm – could you please RSVP if you are able to come? Just email please. We will welcome our Owners with a parade of horses for next season followed by tea and our Charity Auction and Raffle! Racing this week Monday Pontifract – Apache Angel – back on the Flat – best watched. Friday – Infinite Honour goes to Beverley after his recent win ridden by top Jockey Pat Cosgrove...
