    The wait is finally over, fingers crossed. We bought this gorgeous little horse in May 2020 and we were so excited with him as he was literally burning up the gallops at the good Dr's earning himself the moniker "The Little Ferrari" from the lasses in the yard. However, as we all know things regarding horses are not always as straight forward as they might be. Literally days before making his debut for us he was lame. We thought it was growing pains, sore shins something of that ilk so we rested him. He came back in and the whole cycle repeated on us. This time we splashed the cash on some full veterinary analysis and shockingly found that he had some arthritis on his knee. For the good of the horse we operated knowing that the most likely outcome was although likely to benefit him we probably wouldnt ever get to see him run.
    He has been patiently nursed back to full health although the upmost care has been taken with him. He has never set foot on the fast work gallop since his operation and his training regime has exclusively been on the deep circle gallop that is slow work only. As a consequence, despite knowing that he is fit he hasnt been flat out. He has schooled and is incredibly enthusiastic in his work.
    When you see him you will note that he is a bonny looking little horse, he certainly wasnt cheap. I wanted to be involved with him because I have always wanted to own a bumper winner but under the circumstances all I want from tomorrow is for him to come back safe and sound having really enjoyed himself.
    The message from the trainer is loud and clear "he will need the run" but the last time I heard that was when Jennys Surprise won on seasonal debut at 14/1.
    If I was previewing the race I would be siding with the Bailey horse.

    In the 3.00 Ludlow I'll take a chance on Mr.Katanga. Ran well for a long way in a stronger race last time out. Stable amongst the winners recently and has a good each way record over hurdles at Ludlow last 5 seasons

    Good luck with Saquon.

    I see the horse who beat him, last time in the pointing field, has won his last 2 races (chases at God's own racecourse and Wincanton).

    Good luck with yours Stick. I hope the trainer gave you the nod for the Minella horse just now. Couldn’t have won any easier!

    I’ll say good luck but I have no idea who the horse is. I take it sticklers got an interest. While I’m on I noticed minella encore hosed up at Ludlow over 3miles on the snaff. A horse I have an interest in as Ive taken ownership of a pointer who has form with this horse. I expected minella encore to win at Cheltenham and run like a drain last time.

    Stick I wouldn’t be too worried about arthritis lots of horses get it and have it. It’s a vets get out of jail diagnosis when they can’t find much wrong.
