JULY 2009

 24th July - Dancealot Lady saw her first race - at Chepstow.  Run over 6f on soft/heavy ground, the filly broke extremely well to lead in the first furlong.  She remained prominent throughout the race, but with the heavy going and the stiff uphill test, she weakened just over 2 f out - although remaining in the mix.  This was always seen as a test to see how she ran and we were very pleased with how she travelled to the course and her overall approach to meeting a packed grandstand for the first time.  She looked spectacular and as fit as ever.  Jockey Luke Morris was impressed saying "she broke well and has a great attitude.  She would suit a longer trip on better ground"  We will see how she has recovered over the next few days but plan to run her again shortly, on better ground (or maybe on the all-weather) and over a 7f trip.  In summary, a good learning process for all of us and of course this means that shareholders joining now will benefit from all the education and development work having been done at no cost to them!

 JUNE UPDATE

FANGFOSS GIRLS

 Following a patchy start to the 2009 season, Fangfoss Girls is currently showing great signs of improvement as she continues training at our facility - under the watchful eye of trainer Lawrence Wells and the Field & Country Team.  The filly is far more relaxed than she has been previously and is working harder and faster because of it.  We plan to race her again in the next two months, with a view to increasing her earnings (which already stand at over £9000). 

HURRICANE SPEAR

Our superstar colt is growing well and continues to show signs that he will be a champion in his coming career.  Although not yet broken, our team is ensuring he has good manners with the farrier and vet - and laying the foundations for when he starts preliminary training in a few months.  Harry, as he has been christened, has made great friends with one of our young ponies and they certainly make a playful pair in the yard.
