A few friends of mine are paying Mr Hawkins a visit and lets just say he will be sleeping
with the fishes tonight its just business you understand

Another win for Amber Princess in Race 33 just getting up in that last half a furlong to catch unknown quality!

Wtf was that all about? From my best ever week to my worst, certainly in this season, whole team look asleep........ not even going to bore you with my customary summery. Nothing to see, move along.

Grats Adam amber princess looked good for her win, and perfectly timed for a crack at a graded race at Cheltenham

Here's hoping she'll be in the mix!

Only one winner today but that was by the queen of my flat team Coigach, will probably put away now until next season. She comes alive as a 5yo and will run in all the top races next season. I'm glad now I put her in my team as a 4yo.

I just want to say how much everything you have all been doing for the league has been very greatly appreciated by the Charlie stable, I have had a whole lot of fun participating from day 1...it is with a heavy heart though that i am announcing my retirement for this season, real life has unfortunately caught up with me, work commitments and a few other personal things leave me with no time to study where to put my nags now, i will still be popping on the forum and keeping up with whats going one with you guys but i just cant concentrate enough to take part, i apologize for not giving you all any more laughs with Last Ben, but i will be back hopefully for the next season.

Good luck to you all and have lots of fun

I hope u get every thing sorted in u life ( life can be a bitch) and we see you next season.

Sorry to hear that, shame to bow out before Cheltenham. Hope you get things sorted.

Josh

That's too bad Charlie. Hope you get things sorted and you can compete in the next league.

all the very best of luck Charlie get back for next season

Just watched the livestream. Great work Gray and excellent comms by Doug.

A very solid opening day at the festival, 3 x 2nds, 2 x 3rds and 1 x 4th

I spent all last week in the garden shed with my home chemistry set and mixed up a couple of new concoctions. ( Totally undetectable by the stewards )

The first was pheno-speedplus sulphate. Been slipping it into the horses feed and it nearly worked. Will up the required dosage for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The second concoction was nitro-slowdown bromate. I took a trip to Wales, Ireland and Canada this week with this concoction, but I must have got the two mixed up as John managed 4 winners, well done John.


If anybody wants some of these concoctions, send a stamped address envolope plus a 50p cheque, ( helps pay for new chemistry set ), to Horse Doctor, Dundonald Stud, Scotland.

They say it always rains in wales well I made the clouds go to Cheltenham this week. My best ever day at the festival was because of the soft ground. I know u said to give it to my horses but I drank it, no wonder it took me a hour to get out of bed ( it could be just old age).

A great job by everyone to make that happen tonight. See u all tomorrow night, after a few beers( vodkas more like) first.

John I didn't tell you about the side effects of the nitro-slowdown bromate.

It turns stallions into geldings.

I hope you didn't take too much of it.

As for age, you are just a young whippersnapper compared to me. I am so old that I need to take an afternoon nap each day.

Japan Andiamo gave me my best thrill in the hunt today by finishing a close up 3rd - obviously got in on the weights but that's how my stable rolls
Earlier in the season, Heather Mix ran a close third as well but she's a game bred horse aimed at the Grand National but Japan Andiamo is pure home bred so a much bigger and satisfying thrill.

Congrats to Vinny Gerrard on getting a Group One on the flat in an exciting finish. The first days racing had it all in spades - I think it is the best days racing I have called so far!
