Update on Friday 13th

I thought I should give you an update on things.



Firstly, we are hugely aware that communications have lapsed. I do hope you will understand that things are a little turbulent at the moment. Tom has no secretary and Alex Owen is trying to set up the accounting systems at MHS and to get all our owners and their horses properly recorded so we can continue invoicing in November. He is also dealing with all the urgent racing secretarial matters and just has not found time to send out emails for our declarations and entries.



On that subject Valmina is running tonight at Wolverhampton, 7.20pm. He ran really well on the surface last time coming second to an odds on favourite but the handicapper has allotted him a mark of 68 and he will need to have improved to be competitive.



Yesterday Vegas Palace scored on her third run , this time at Southwell. She was odds on and did it comfortably but the time was significantly faster than all three of the previous races by older horses over the distance so the form looks respectable.

Her win means that of the 24 yearlings that Tom and Ed Sackville bought last year, 17have won races this year, two have come second, one has come third, two proved disappointing and have been sold and the remaining two will not run until they are 3yo’s. Let us hope that he can boast similar statistics this time next year!
