Good luck, it seems like a heavy schedule for him, so I'm crossing my fingers he'll get an easy trip.

He's been eating well and only lost 4 kilo after his last race. Looks bright. He isn't a wet weather horse so only a race or two left for him this season. Normally has 2-3 weeks between races so backing him up in 7 days and then 14 should be okay as he's not tired from racing every week.

Better luck next time with mr Fleck
It has not been raining for over five weeks, which is very unusual overhere. The month temperature has been the highest in more than a hundred years.
So we can use a little bit of rain.
Mellanie will be racing within a fortnight and she loves a little bit of juice

Third. A very good run

Hardly any horses were making ground from the rear over the whole day so he did exceptionally well
