SORRY. I'VE BEEN BUSY

This is my first news update since the weekend of the BELMONT OAKS and for no other reason other than having been flat out and not much to say. That's not like me I can hear you say.

We have had a fairly quiet time the past few weeks with only a few starters and most of them being youngsters and first uppers. We did produce one on the weekend which nearly caused a boil over but not really a surprise. HIFALUTIN, a two year old filly by Pentre Celebre out of Gambei had her first start at Belmont and could not have been more impressive when finishing strongly to run second to the unbeaten Megatic.

The filly is the first foal of Gambei, a filly I won the Magic Millions with a few years ago. I remember seeing her at COOLMORE Stud when she was only a few months old. Being a first foal, she was so tiny and frail that we didn't give her much chance of becoming a race horse. To look at her now you would hardly think of her as a small first foal in fact she is quite an attractive individual.

The filly will have another two or three runs before we put her away till the end of Spring. The filly will then be prepared for the good fillies races at Ascot in the Autumn.
We live in hope!
