An Overdue Update

A bit late updating things, as I've been working around the clock on the project from hell for the last four days solid. Thought I'd finished it, but there are still issues to sort out before it can go to the printers. I think I ought to sue for trauma, as well as wasted time when I could be playing with horses!

Anyway, I've just checked on the trainer reports, and there are quite a few of them that have built up. Nothing much to report, though, and even Miracle Rouge's write-up had little to say. The poor thing ran a good race, but came a disappointing 11th at the post - albeit less than a second behind the winner. At least the jockey still has confidence in the girl's ability, noting she wasn't quite herself on the day, so let's hope we can see something good from her again in the near future. In reality, Miracle-chan has been the best 'Bang For The Buck' racehorse I've ever had, with no extreme highs and lows as such, just a dogged performance every time. Perhaps she's fighting a bit above her weight nowadays, though?

It's that time of the year to think up names for the yearlings. I'll have to put my thinking cap on for the Carrot kids, but I've already sent in a proposal for the Vermilion filly (Sunday TC) - Grey Sovereign or Silver Sovereign, due to her colouring. Whether it gets chosen or not is a different matter, but at least I've thrown something into the pot.

One last piece of news - there should be another UK horse coming through soon. Watch this space!
