QUIET WEEKEND COMING UP

I look like having time to catch up on some office work and household chores this week end with the stable not having a runner at the Belmont meeting. I actually enjoy a Saturday away from the races as it gives me a chance to see how the rest of the world lives while keeping tabs on the eastern states and local races on Sky! I am sure that someone will come up with a bright idea of something to do so I can't see myself sitting around idle for very long.

While we don't have a runner this weekend we have been busy turning over some new stock and we certainly look like being busy again fairly soon. There have been a number of horses who simply haven't measured up over the past few months but we will be taking a few new two year olds to the trials on Monday and I reckon a couple of them go better than average. A couple of them will head back to the paddock after their trial as they are still a bit immature and need a bit more time but most of them will head to the races over the next few weeks if they stay sound.

Two year olds trialling on Monday include RIC'S PEARL, SENTOFF, DOMERIN, PRIMA VISTA, LUBRICHI, ASHORE and PEARLS OF WISDOM.

While I am always keen to try out my two year olds there are a few older horses which will be ready to hit the track soon including BASKERVILLE STREET, FOUND AND KEPT, FARIDAT, ASCOLI, TERADA, ROSE OF MAY and AYTOZED along with a couple of late developing two year olds DONNAIOLO and COUNTESS PANETTI.

All makes for a lot of work and hopefully a lot of fun over the next few months.
