Just heard that Porthos Du Vallon will start jump schooling in about two weeks, and sounds eager to please. A horse that wants to run - and I mean gallop, not slow canter - just for the hell of it, will always provide a trainer with a firm foundation on which to build.
Also saw a very nice article on Ilka - the lady training Godiva's Pride in Newmarket. If you'd like to see it, please use the following link: www.gavelhouse.com/article/13957. Thoroughly recommended...
PS. Godiva's Pride had his first run up Warren Hill on the 18th - a legendary place, full of romance for followers of racing lore, in the ancestral home of racing. Wish I could have been there to see it. Must get back to Blighty one of these days!
