My God, it's been so long since we've had a runner! And even that, on 16th November, was simply to get Roscommon back into the swing of things after a lengthy spell. The nag was seventh at Townsville, which was fine, as the main thing is to make sure we're on course for a full comeback. Anyway, it was a pleasing run according to his trainer, and he's come out of the race very well, which is good news. Nothing much happening in Ireland, except a stream of video updates and a dwindling bank account...
Roscommon just made up the numbers at Townsville on the 14th December. We had a bit of bad luck with 'Rosco' in reality, in that he was prepped to peak for the week before, but the race was scratched due to hard ground. Meanwhile, nothing but bad news from Ireland, as usual. Ummm. I don't think I'll be doing anything outside Australia after this NH episode comes to a conclusion (at least Oz is cheap and the trainer is dedicated), unless I can do something with a friend over here in Japan - the long-distance ownership thing isn't working now Mick Channon Jr is out of the picture, simply becoming more stress than pleasure.
