Great way to start the New Year

3 runners 2 winners....what a great way to start 2008.

It is fantastic that you can have a short break and return to the horses in good form, well done staff.

Sawwaah ran as we had hoped on Saturday under a fine ride from Richard Kingscote. It wasn't the strongest contest that's why he started even money favourite but even so he ran like a favourite should, not dropping himself to far out the back and staying-on on the bridle.

Gross Prophet ran another solid race in the Conditions event and may now have a break as there aren't many opportunities for 3-year-olds over 6/7 furlongs between now and the start of the turf season. He has done brilliantly up until now.

Savile's Delight has just won the 12.40 at Southwell under a good ride from Michaela. That's her second winner for the yard in just six starts. The horse is entered again on Friday at Kempton so we will have to wait and see how he is before making any decisions.

Hope Road is entered for a Juvenile hurdle on Wednesday. The ground is likely to be very soft at Newbury so we will see what happens with the weather.
