Scatters, I know you asked this question like 20 years ago lol I train my sprinters to peak at 5, your lucky if theyve have had 6 or 7 runs going into their 5yo season.. Wether it makes a difference I dont know but thats they way I go with them.
I dont run many 4yos at any distance in the game, they have to wait until there 5 to get their turn and then the good ones go to stud and the ones I dont think are going to improve the breeding get retired from the game. I dont risk selling them incase it comes back to bite you as theres nothing worse!
To The Rescue primed for Arc bid. Loves the track, goes on anything. Jeune should be worried  Surely the old boy deserves a day in the sun!

Think i may have found the best horse iv ever breed over jumps. Excited is not the word.
!!!!!!!!!!Maeglin Ancalime!!!!!!!!!!
What this horse can do over certain distances is unreal on soft/heavy ground.
He can beat my very best over 2m5f/3mC.
If i get better than him in time for the start of the season il be very surprised indeed.
Got Ryanair Chase written all over him.

Nearly time guys.............
A few of our horses have wintered really well, especially one of our colts, he has filled out, matured and gets every inch of a mile at most courses.
His Gallops partner ISTEBRAQ performed well in the league at 3yo last season..........exciting times ahead.

Will be looking out for it Scotty!! Clear running for your Scotty.
I have my 3yo stars coming back for another season namely Roya, Red Planet & my star of the stable Jeune. Jeune needed the spell and has appreciated the long rest. She returned to work a little sluggish this time around due to her hard racing last season but over the last few weeks has improved immensely. She has lost her dash slightly so am seriously considering keeping her in 4yo+ company. Her main goal this season will be to win the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan in week 12. She should be hot favourite for this race but nothing is a certainty in racing.
Roya my star sprinter will be returning and will only contest 4yo+ races as she too has lost a length as 4yo. Unfortunately there are not that many 4yo+ races for her at 1200m but it will be good for her making an appearance. I think she will be hard to beat in this company but am worried about one of her rivals from last season Joni Wickaby. Will he be racing this season?
Red Planet resumes and is full of running and as with all my 4yo’s will be competing in 4yo+ only company. Her main goal will be the G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan in week 12 and I think she should be the early favourite. She is very comparable to last season’s winner Redcraze who has not come on as a 5yo and has been retired to stud.
You are probably wondering where is Speedito? Well it’s a tossup between him and my mare Eurythmic in competing this season. I can’t include them all. Believe it or not Eurythmic is a slightly better horse over 1600m and am leaning towards her representing my stable in the league over 1600m for 4yo+ company. Her main and final goal will be the G1 Dubai Duty Free at Meydan in championship week 12 (well done Steve!). She too will be deserving of being one of the favourites but not outright favourite as she was beaten a few times by some other classy runners. This race will be wide open with barriers of huge importance.
Happy racing everyone and more to follow later.

Yeah Gold Cup.
hmmm..
I`ll go with fall = void bet.
I`m feeling pretty good here with Cosmic Blaster.
Will allow another horse only before neither run in league otherwise it`ll mean we`re both breeding away during the season and tbh can`t be bothered with that lol.
