ToF Update

I have been a bit lazy!

Not that much has happened in the meantime with my ToF horses - Well a lot of horses ran, but nothing really noteworthy, apart from:

Monsoon Rain won his fourth race in a row when he won the R J Speers S ($30k) at Assiniboia Downs on Sunday. Kudos to him and his connections - very well done. Not quite up there with Cigar or Pepper's Pride yet, but you never know :o)

Fancy Footsteps won a $46k claiming race at Saratoga on the same day. Out of 2001 crop mare Fancy Tale, she won her fourth race in nine career starts.

After 49 starts Wordspinner is still a maiden. He has run 2nd and 3rd plenty of times and he should be capable of winning one! He holds an entry on 5 September at Finger Lakes, race 9. Keep an eye out - it could be lucky No 50!!!!

Shaimaa was winless since October 07, but finally came good. Different tactics were tried with her and she was held well of the pace in handicap hurdle in Killarney (Ireland) on Sunday. She came past the outside of the field and won going away by two lengths. Really pleased with her!

Bahar Shumaal, as far as I know the only Dubai Millennium left in training in Europe, won a class 3 handicap over the all weather at Kempton on Monday. He has been trying higher class handicaps and this is really more his level. Nice to see him win again anyway.

That's it for now - I will try and keep up a bit better ;oP
