    Thanks guys. Just back from the races. They ran out of champagne!! Some win. The scary piece is that he will come on again for that. We were worried he was a bit short of fitness. He went for a gallop earlier in the week and Colm said he wouldn't dare do that last year. So he is taking his training well. Delighted for the syndicate as they have been very patient with him but paying dividends now. When we saw ordinary bumper winners getting £100k during the summer, we considered selling him but the syndicate want to keep him. tHey're having too much fun. Now if it started with a 2 and had a high number beside it, they might think again!!

    Colm was in Cork as his father normally goes to the closer of the two meetings they have a runner. On the phone and even he is shocked at how good he is. I think the novice hurdle career is now on hold. We will see how he is over the next week or two and if he's ok, there's a little bumper at the Paddy Power and another at Crimbo at Leopardstown which we might have a look at. Who knows where he might be come March!

    As the lads don't get paid, you make up your own mind but what's good for a professional is good for an amateur in my eyes, if ya catch my drift. If the horse is sold or you land a decent touch you might consider the risk factor taken by the jock to be a little higher and you might support his medical insurance too!!

    You've just embarrassed yourself by posting the same thing twice, so you might as well give us the horse's name now...

    Greetings from lovely Lisbon where I'm working this week. I tried twice last night to post to this thread only for the link to go down when I pressed the Post Reply button.

    Thanks for the good wishes concerning Raise The Beat. What a thrill he gave us on Sunday and he seems to have come out of the race in good order. It looked a good race beforehand and he won it well, but I'm a bit staggered by an RPR of 130. That's a very high mark for a bumper horse at this stage of the season. Please God he goes on to justify and build on it.

    Mikey Fogarty impressed me before the race. He spoke well, included everyone, didn't patronise and showed that he had given the race plenty of thought.

    By the way the second, Dynamic Approach, is a very handsome horse but is only a 4 year old and might be one to follow.


    P.S. Good luck tomorrow, Del Boy. Don't get too rattled or too lit up.

    It must be difficult to post what with all the sun blinding you off your laptop!!

    Rattle the latch is the horse tomorrow, a horse i hope will be a lovely 3yo. Be nice if he showed something tomorrow.

    Very best of luck with the run, del boy. Let's hope he enjoys himself and comes back pleased with his jockey and keen to go out again.

    Ben rides him once a week or so at home so should have an idea of what the horse is capable of tomorrow.

    I see RTL is by ACCLAMATION - two of the three owners who sold XTENSION to race in Japan have bought themselves two youngsters, one by ACCLAMATION, and they're very pleased with him - hoping for good things to come. He seems to be doing very well at present, so I hope yours adds to his lustre, Del.

    By a very decent sire and from a decent broodmare sire as well, so hopefully he will make a very nice horse for you, Del - all best and, as Kri says, hope he runs well and comes home having enjoyed it all.
