Our horses are in great spirits here at Fairwood with lots of our horses fresh having been clipped so the lads have to hang on tight at the moment!!! Here is hoping we don't get a Winter like last year and we can continue racing right through the National Hunt season.
Although we didn't manage to get a winner over the bank Holiday weekend we were very pleased with our runners. The ground came up a bit holding which hindered our chances somewhat, but I am sure that you will see some of these horses in the winning encloser in not the so distant future.
Looking ahead to Thursday in Thurlus we have a good line up of runners, the first being Dont Tell The Boys who runs in the opening race at 1.25. I like this horse a lot, although he can be a bit quirky, he has plenty of ability and is capable of winning this race. We also have Fairwood Massini running in this Maiden Hurdle, this horse definitely has placeditis but it can't last forever, one to follow over his next few runs as he is never too far out of the placings.
Paddy O Dee runs in the Handicap Chase at 3.55 another consistent sort who should put it up to his rivals. Mayo Mistique runs in the Beginners Chase at 3.25 although it is hard to say how this race will break up at this stage and she will appreciate a cut in the ground.
