Race 24 Songo Congo 3rd stormed home but all too late 2 runs 2 places so have to be happy a winner waiting to happen though

Race 25 Range Finder 2nd fell last week so an improvement is it me or is Leon having a good day

Race 27 Horsepower WINNER GRADE 2 WINNER 2 from 2 UNBEATEN and looks a really smart type gallops relentlessly beautiful win chuffed and again he won a shade cozily very pleasing a distance i thought i would struggle at

so Runner up in grade 3 not a bad come back

Race 29 Diving Bomber WINNER fell last week so another with a good comeback and he stayed on very strong Its a good day today

Race 30 Survaj WINNER Breaks his duck in conditions race lovely run did look a little vulnerable in final furlong but held on

2 x 3rds
2 x 4ths
1 x 5th

My Stable Stars so far i also have Xandra who is 1 from 1
So have 4 unbeaten horses going into week 3

R21 Age Of Reason (8th) - another very ordinary effort. either wants further or a switch to fences.
R22 Shakespeare (4th) - ran ok but was hoping he would place at least. beaten by better horses.
R23 Sculpture (6th) - good horse in the ck but 2 dreadful runs so far.
R24 Run Amok (4th) - trip was too short. solid effort.
R25 Sea Shanty (3rd) - favoured by the weights, this race looked like an ideal opportunity to get off the mark but she never looked like winning.
R26 Wonder Of You (6th) - hated the track and was well beaten.
R28 Topper (F) - only got as far as the 3rd.
R29 Carmen Black (7th) - chaser having a day out and trip was too short anyway.
R31 Bad Deam (7th) - trip was too short. never got into the race.

I had high hopes for my jumps stable but it hasn't been the best of starts with only 1 winner in each of the first 2 weeks. Things can only get better, I hope.

well done all winners and placers.

Great Day 3 winners with some good prize money allowing me to stay in touch for the trainers title

R22 - Ruling Swordsman - 6th - one of the stables lesser lights
R23 - Despicable Me - 2nd - Great run in 2nd - Heads to Auteuil now if the ground suits
R24 - Master Of Profession - 1st - Surprise winner - Ideally wants further
R25 - Buccaneer - 1st - Won easily. This is very good horse but hates firm ground, hence the bad run in week 1. Expecting big things
R26 - Quadrophenia - 3rd - Good run for my star hurdler - Not as got chasing
R27 - Daylight Robbery - 6th - Should be well enough handicapped for Auteuil where he is a different horse
R28 - Inhuman Shield - 1st - A combination of a great jump at the last and his challengers faltering sealed the win. My stable seems to be strong in 3 mile chases
R29 - Abbey Road - 6th - Has two ways of running but can beat anything in my stable from 2m4 to 3m2 hurdles or chases on a going day. This was not a going day.
R30 - Journey Home - 2nd _ Found it a bit short. A brilliant prospect especially for Cheltenham but needs to avoid severe bad weather
R31 - Swap Force - 6th - Has a rating for both chases and hurdles now.

Well done to all the winners. Its close at the top of the table. Looks like it will be an interesting battle. Luckily Jamie's horses aren't the same force as they are on the flat

Would not write them off yet

I want Felix de Giles banned for life, i want him banned under the non triers rule. He keep my horse dead last and never tried to get my horse involved, even at the 3 furlong pole he was holding her up. I hope i never see u on one of my horses again.

Rig Steel 4th, felix u put her in danger of the chop now.
French Holly 3rd, blundered at the second and was a long last but ran on great.
Material World 1st, will run all day.
Dawn Run 1st, will only run on soft ground. Softer the better.
Hill Trix 1st, i think she needs to be drug tested after last weeks poor show, was gone after last week because I've got better horses ready to take her place but will need to prove it again to stay.

Sky Ferreira (10th) - Decent run, couldn't cope when the pace quickened
Zod (Fell) - Fell at the first
No Strings (7th) - Just faded out of the money at the end. Hill Trix looked unstoppable, you've got a good horse there Ghost
Estoril (9th) - A big improvement from last week but this G1 juvenile winner will be entering a handicap next time out
Turning Up The Heat (4th) - Good run in the Haldon gold cup, could be a player in some big handicaps this season
Zod Sterling (8th) - Actually a surprisingly good run in the Tipperary hurdle
Dads Lad (Fell) - Was jumping immaculately in front before a bad fall about half way round
Shine One (8th) - A solid run, she is going to be just short of the best again this season
Ibiza (UR) - Unseated at the last when a long way behind. Shame he didn't finish in order for his rating to plummet. Will improve in bottomless ground

Not a great day but I didn't have many good horses out. Roll on more handicaps next week.

Congrats to all winners and placers this week

nowhere near a winner in first 2 weeks, gonna struggle this season. may have to do some serious breeding before the upload window

1 Cheltenham Novices' Chase Princess Dundee Cheltenham
unplaced Another shocker from her not sure where to go or what to do with her the chop maybe

2 ZEturf Handicap Chase Diving Bomber
3rd ran well but was well handicapped here and little disappointed he did not win ground may have been too quick

4 RGH Novices' Chase Congo Enigma
WINNER stormed up the hill slow jump last nearly cost her but stayed on again back on tack with CE nice to have
cheltenham form going into the arkle

6 Pertemps Handicap Hurdle Qualifier Leg 1 Termination
7th weight killed him decent run but must step back up in class

7 Persian War Novices Hurdle G2 Bold Princess
2nd Great run trip was a little too far thought she might fade in final furlong but stuck on well and jumped really well

8 Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle Mig Twenynine
couldn't handle the weight only beat a few home

9 ISF Novice Chase Diving In The Jungle
2nd another decent run thought i had it won and then returning came flying past going a different gear

10 INH Novice Hurdle Doomberg Atlantic
2nd oh this fella has no heart for a fight should have won Gray's horse showed great guts there to stay on

1 winner
3 2nds
1 3rd

One winner Race 10 My Tony unbeaten in both runs this season loves good ground so might be off for a holiday unless grund conditions suit

P.S
a bit like the irish rugby team hey paul no battle for the fight

it was a Stella game both teams showed plenty of heart unlike Doonberg Atlantic who could not
knock the skin off a rice pudding he should have won that

R2 Cave Dweller (15th) - trip was too short.
R3 Beware Of The Hare (3rd) - solid effort. needed a good jump at the last to stay in contention but slowed to a walk instead
R4 Wonder Of You (2nd) - produced a much better effort than last time. no chance with Paul's winner though who was too good.
R5 Upside Down (9th) - abysmal effort.
R6 Bad Dream (3rd) - was suited by the step up to 3m and ran well. beaten by a couple of better horses.
R7 Boucher (1st) - biggest winner of the season so far for my stable. chuffed
R8 Park Road (9th) - trip was too short.
R9 Pinewood (6th) - victim of a dreadful ride. should and would have placed at least if ridden with a bit of restraint.
R10 Age Of Reason (5th) a more encouraging effort this time.

A decent day overall for my stable with the highlight being Boucher's win in the Persian War. Good runs as well from Beware Of The Hare, Wonder Of You and Bad Dream. Pinewood also showed enough to suggest he's capable of winning a race this season.

Well done all winners and placers.

A nice day, one or two head scratchers.

Greenhill Joy 3rd, another nice run.
Fiddling the facts 0, a shocker never went a yard.
Returning 1st, made a howler of the 5th last, ran a stormer to win from there.
Savitha 0, the worst jumper I've ever entered.
Barney Knows 6th, ok run.
Mossvile 1st, possibly the most talented hurdler I've ever had.
Welsh Oak 2nd, job done, will never run on that ground again.
Rig Steel 1st, Yessss can I keep Tom on him, great ride.

Gray u horse My Tony is one tough nut to crack.

No Strings (10th) - Slightly agitated before the off and was well tailed off at the end finishing last
Bang Bang Bang (20th) - Last, still too much weight from last season. Will improve later in the season
Dads Lad (UR) - Unseated near the end after running well up until then
Zod World (14th) - A couple of horror blunders put him out the back
Shine One (UR) - Unseated when running pretty well
Aristofilia (10th) - Possibly flattered to be 5th on debut in G2 last week. However, still finished in the top half here
One World (11th) - Got boxed in and then faded very tamely. Another returnee who will improve later in the season

Some really poor runs today but I have got some better prospects over the next 2 days.

A couple of eye catching winners, albeit in handicaps today
