    What a great story, well done Flo. Looking forward to actually being able to see him run on TV.

    Thanks stickler, it would’ve been great to go to Cheltenham but he’s had two races in three weeks. At least we have another plan. He’s been winning his races easy, when anything comes to challenge he just brushes them aside and only does enough.
    There is horse running in Ireland today that we are interested in but I’m sworn to secrecy.

    I've looked at all Califet's registered progeny and not one of them is by a Fruits of Love mare

    All I could come-up with are the following. Unfortunately, the mares don't exactly match the info. you yourself have already given: Stilll, maybe it gives some clues, although I doubt it. Am very fond of Irish P2P racing which has, in the past, given me one or two winners when racing under Rules, after being purchased by Brit. owners paying a bunch of money at times.

    We have one that fits your bill making its debut for us on Saturday.
    However, Nass has ordered a strict social media ban on mentioning it.

    Should be easy enough for you to find. 6yo br g had four runs in Irish point to points which have yielded a 2nd and a 3rd. Seven runs under rules, five times over hurdles and twice in point to points with his closest finish being a 20 length sixth at Fairyhouse. Most recent trainer was Patrick Joseph Magee who has run him in 6yo+ maidens.

    Sum it up makes his first seasonal appearance at the Thurston ptp at Horseheath tomorrow. He’s running in the first conditions race which looks an open race in which we’re not fancied, which suits us. The favourite seems to be an Irish recruit called koyote, typically trained by Tom and Gina Ellis. Forest chimes is the support act trained by Philip Rowley who took a while getting off the mark but finished in the spring with a quick fire double. I’m quietly confident tomorrow and we have our regular jockey Charlie Marshall, brother of Lizzie. Fred, his stable name has summered well and looks in good condition so fingers crossed and as long as he comes back safe we’ll be satisfied, anyway.
    Cheers.
