“We’re on a high this morning after the fantastic run from Cool Mix in the Coral Scottish National yesterday. A cool ride from Conor and an exceptional round of jumping meant he stayed every yard of the 4 miles. Donna and Dave Armstrong’s famous grey has expanded his fan club even further! It was a big day for Ben Thorburn too, he rides him every day at home (unless I jock him off for a shot myself). I think Ben’s new royal blue Coral coat is going to be seen a lot on his back…he’s very proud!
Dino Boy, Weather Front and Nyoufsea have all come home safely. Dino Boy and Nyoufsea both received on course veterinary attention but they’re in fine spirits this morning. Weather Front ran a cracker and I thought coming into the last, he was the winner. A much improved run from him.
We are back at Ayr this morning galloping 4 flat horses. Ellen, Jamie, Max and I were on the road for 5am. A spin round Ayr will set these 4 up nicely for their turf season ahead. We have Nakeeta, Hazalou and The Owners’ Group, Pearl Warrior on board. My own Equidae is coming along to give the less experienced Hazalou a lead.
No runners Monday or Tuesday this week.”
