    A few of us who had shares in Camira now have a piece of Elusive Fairy, who goes in the next at Listowel. It looks a lottery of a race.

    Now that would be nice.... She's being backed today, but I couldn't be confident about her chances, but her trainer thinks she could well land a race before the end of the season.

    Cracking run Grey and the E/W money landed for those who were on - winner won easily though so think you just bumped into one.

    A similar tale to OTB's Bangalore Diamond the other day, Elusive Fairy ran well but could do nothing about the runaway winner. She might have her day though.

    Definitely one in her - €25 ew from our tank and we would be still in the game......

    Our synicate horse Simpson Millar runs today 1:50 Ayr - no news yet except this is his first race since he's been gelded and apparently he's better at home than he's shown on the course so far - I personally do not see him as a soft ground horse but will post any info I get later.

    great to read, grey, and will try and follow, sounds like you got a real run for your money. good luck with her, like the name too.

    good luck to swedish chef / simpson millar as well!

    bonfire will run in a handicap 3 in hoppegarten on saturday and is actually one of the fav´s. we are trying a new trip - 1m4f- for the first time, so not sure what to expect.

    nearly more important and a cause of some excitement is the fact that our 2yo beltaine fire (aka betty) - by toylsome- is making her lifetime debut on the same card. trainers 2yo´s arent exactly flying and she will be much much better for the run, but great to get her there and very much looking forward to see her at the track.
    that her doing a light work on saturday:

    Very exciting, Crazy, and she does look very nice indeed - quite a sharp, defined and mature look about her. Big Best of Luck for her first try!

    At flipping last - a win by ONE COOL CHICK (ICEMAN-BARRANTES) bred by Songsheet and myself. She's 3, and after a lot of arsing about, has been placed at the right grade - Class 6 - and run at a track she enjoyed: Kempton, last night. We literally gave her away to Daphne Finch and her husband Keith, as ICEMAN tragically died from colic four days before the foal sales and, being in the heat of the recession, we were lucky to even find a free home for her. (Her companion foal/yearling, TRY THE CHANCE, has been doing considerably better and my co-breeder and I actually got the minimum bid for him - wowee!)

    Anyway, a win's a win for a' that, and Daphne phoned me just before the end of MIDSOMER MURDERS to tell me they were enjoying their celebratory fizz. Buggered-up the end of the show, but worth it!
