I’m taking a short break and heading down south to see this Friday’s races in Christchurch – the Free For All should be a beauty – and then head further south to visit Macca Lodge and see my newborn foals.
Can’t wait! There’s a Tintin In America colt from Nostalgic Franco who looks a cracker, and a Big Jim filly from Dreamy Romance which is also ideal because it is the mare’s maternal line and the cross with Big Jim that I wanted, so good to have a solid pedigree match to carry that line on. Nostalgic Franco has a year off, and Dreamy Romance will go to Mr Feelgood.
Along the way, I’m planning to see the 3yo filly Be A Legend, out for a brief spell at Brian West’s place after qualifying, and she’s started to turn a corner.
With any luck I’ll also visit Tintin In America himself at Nevele R.
I won’t be blogging while I’m away – just gathering up some photos and thoughts to share when I get back.
Meanwhile, closer to home, The Blue Lotus has foaled A Rocknroll Dance filly at Alabar. Will catch up with her in a week or so, but she looks lovely.
