Welcome to May!

 Rain forecast today.  Needed! We had some good results over the weekend. Most notably, CLEARANCE 2nd at Doncaster, TOKARAMORE 4th at Hexham and JUMP THE GUN 3rd at Hamilton. Hexham was a bit of a nonsense on Saturday evening. The 3m Chase resembled a bumper after they...

Chilly start!

Chilly start!  The sun’s out but the wind brrr! Camille Macdonald’s NUBOUGH ran a blinder last night at Ayr and we’re all delighted especially as Camille has been very patient with him!  2nd by a neck is painful though!  I’m still pleased.  You need luck...

I’m at Doncaster already for The Goffs Breeze Up Sale. It’s a crisp 4 degrees but it’s to reach 15/16. I have a couple of orders to fill which is exciting for the yard. Rob is in charge at home.  Kayleigh is going to...
