Very disappointed with scarlet Oak at Nottingham who refused to go into the stalls, fine at home, has to have a stalls test with the risk of a huge fine if she fails!
Santera entered at Fakenham on the 5th.
Highland Homestead entered at Huntingdon on the 6th.

Latest News,
Good run from Mad Professor, took the lead over the last but let himself be run out of it, good ride from William, fortunately he was claimed, although we really liked him he was not putting it all in and will need blinkers probably to stir him up again! Good luck to his new owners ( there were no shareholders in this horse!)
Scarlet Oak goes to Nottingham tomorrow with Richard Mullen on board, Robert will not get there in time from Bath. We felt Richard was the best available jockey for her as she is not a straight foward ride, needs a quiet jockey who can hold her up and not bustle her, if Robert was riding we would expect her to run a big race.

Mad Professor goes to MR on Saturday, we thought this was the best winning chance! Lets hope the jockey follows instructions!
Scarlet Oak will probably go to Nottingham on tuesday although it is only over 5f Robert rang to say she should be ok and he thinks it will suit!
True Britannia, Highland Homestead and Kings Majesty are buzzing and entries will be made.
Looking for a race for Santera.
Aryshvic has a bit of mucus on her lungs but is fine in herself, will run in a fortnight.

Excellent run from Santera
Very good run from santera again but a terrible ride from Christian! Can these jockeys ever do as they are instructed, waiting for the last is not 3 out, she is very genuine and needs to be played late in a race!
WDYK has the assistance of Richard Hills today at Folkestone, we have always thought he could be the right jockey for him. However WDYK will come on for the run but let hope he is well!

Sundays Results.
Very disappointing ride from P C O'Neil on Mad Professor, missed the start and sat him out the back which he hates, he was told to have him 3/4 lengths off the pace in 3rd or 4th not last. He lost interest halfway round but did start to race again at the end, we knew he would come on for this run but we expected him to be thereabouts!
Aryshvic had her first race but was totally overawed with the occasion, although she had been to Towcester twice for racecourse gallops and to get used to the stables she really never settled. She was green walking round the parade ring, went to post ok, started ok but never picked the bridle up once during the race. Paul tried every trick in the book weaving in and out of horses and switching her to the outside but all she did was look around and wonder what was going on!
This is not unusual with Mares they can be very slow at catching on to what is expected of them, it will take another race or two for her to cotton on but Paul said he had plenty of horse under him!

Kings Majesty was left very sore after his Brighton run, the ground was probably firmer than reported and he did not like going downhill. he had been tried downhill on the gallops and appeared to enjoy it, that is why we ran him. He may well need a jab or two in his joints.
Aryshvic has got in at Towcester on Sunday and is in fine form however we would like to see it rain for her as we do not want to jar her up on her first run, we will watch the decs on Sunday morning for Fakenham and Plumpton on Monday and of course the ground.
Mad Professor goes to Plumpton on Sunday, Byron rides and takes off a useful 5lbs. He should come on for this run as he has still the odd bit of mucus about him.
WDYK goes to either thirsk on the 17th or Folkestone on the 21st.
Highland Homestead has improved again and should run in a fortnight, he had been suffering from ulcers!
Scarlet Oak had a large abcess come up on her mouth after her fine run at Wolverhampton, this has now burst and has not affected her work too much as we always give her a week off after she runs.
True Britannia is being given an easy fortnight and then will go for a mile race somewhere, the headgear will be left off.

Excellent run from Santera yesterday, baulked at the first, jumping was not as fluent afterwards which probably cost her the race, unlucky loser, will probably look for a 2 ml race at stratford or similar.
Kings Majesty runs today at Brighton and will be favourite however it has rained!
Aryshvic has a number of entries but will run where she can get in and where there has been rain so we will have to update with only a days notice as to where she goes.
Mad Professor has several entries, the same applies not sure where he will run yet, he will still improve for this next run.
WDYK and Highland Homestead should run in the next fortnight, Highland has taken his time getting over the virus.
Fantasy Legend is still on roadwork.

True Britannia ran well yesterday but was badly hampered when challenging, she switched but had lost her momentum, we think on turf a shorter trip will suit!
Santera goes to Fontwell today and will a big price in a highly competitive field, we think this race is ideal for her.
Kings Majesty goes to Brighton tomorrow and should be favourite, however rain is forecast tonight!

True Britannia
True Britannia goes to Windsor tomorrow, she really ought to go close at the weights, we think the ground will suit but has only run once on turf! what she does need is a very fast pace so that she can come from behind, we know this is nailbiting stuff but that is the only way she will run to her true ability, if she is too close to the pace she does not pick up, she likes horses to come back at her, it makes her fight more.
Scarlet Oak
Excellent run from Scarlet Oak, we came up against a well backed horse who never looked like losing but Robert did say she would have won over 6f and travelled well throughout and stayed on at the finish. will probably go to bath next. she is better off of a short break and so we will not run her for at least 3 weeks.
