Horse Life

With Masterson now sold, 58 racehorses have passed through my hands onto the 'past' list, with five still running in England and one in Ireland (making a total of 64 racers I've had a stake in so far), plus the ex-racers, of course - 'Bugatti' (Segesta), 'Jaguar' (Mayano Time) and 'Tenn-chan' (Tempai), beautiful creatures that have given my family endless hours of fun and faithful service, to the point where the horses themselves are considered extended family. It will be interesting to see what the next couple of years brings, with future plans taking shape in my head, and the kids having their own equine vision, starting next April in Sophie's case and April 2019 in Louis'. Exciting times ahead, whatever happens...

PS. A new horse has arrived in the Box 41 camp - a 2015 filly called Dusty. Her debut is expected any minute, so we may as well leave our profile on her until then. Still no name allocated for the Box 41 colt, but watch this space.

PPS. Mirzam was a handy third at Nottingham on the 15th, and we have Sayesse and Dusty to come on the 17th - the latter's race also being its debut. Good luck to all concerned.
