QUIET WEEKEND BUT PLENTY HAPPENING

Last Saturday was one of the few city race meetings of late where we didn't win a race. We did go very close with PRICELESS SYMBOL being desperately unlucky at his first try at 1200m for a while and I am confident that this honest little horse will not take long to win his way through to open company. He rarely runs a bad race and although he does need things to go his way, when they do, he is a smart race horse. His second to the odds on favourite on Saturday showed that!

My other runners GLAMOURZON AND BLESCAY both showed that they have had enough and will go out for a well earned break. The stable will be having a major turn over of stock over the next week or so with plenty of horses either going for a spell or just having a bit of a freshen up while I have a big team of young horses literally champing at the bit waiting to come in and take their place.

We haven't really assessed any of the young brigade as yet however word from the pre-trainers is that there are some smart ones in amongst them. I always enjoy the new season two year olds coming in and watching them as they develop into race horses. Hopefully we can unearth a few smart ones this season.
