With the festive season well and truly underway it has been another successful week for the yard. We sent three runners out with every horse being placed, the highlight being Grandscape who put in a gutsy performance at Southwell to give Sophie Smith her first winner as an apprentice.
Things have quietened down here and with only one entry this week in Homesick Boy all the staff are looking for to a few days off either at Christmas or New Year to spend some time with their family and friends.
The Christmas Party was once again a resounding success with everyone getting well and truly into the Christmas Spirit. There were definitely a few sore heads on Friday morning. The annual 8 to follow was won this year by our Racing Secretary, Angela Lowe, and our Travelling Head Lad, Robin Trevor Jones, picking up the wooden spoon for last place.
We cannot wait to get going in the New Year and take on the impending 2020 flat season.
Have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
All the best,
Ed
