Work rider turns jockey
It was a big day for our stablelad Scott Houghton today as he had his first ride on the flat. He and Orchard House were a respectable mid-division at Southwell. Scott has an amateur licence but will convert to be a conditional jockey by the end of the year and go jumping.
Various entries
Tidal Fury (pictured below) has now been entered for Wetherby on 2nd February for a 20f handicap chase. Again he will only run if the ground suits. Pie O My came home from Wolverhampton very well and now heads to Lingfield on 6th February.
Prince Joshua
Prince Joshua has made great strides over the last month of so. He was too backward to run as a two year old but the extra time we have given him has allowed him to develop and mature. He will need a trip (his 1/2 sister won over 2 miles as a three year old) but is progressing very well.
Ground too firm for Tidal
The drying weather means that I have not declared Tidal Fury for the planned race at Doncaster tomorrow. His next possible race is on 2nd February at Wetherby.
Yard update
Pie O My has been declared to run at Wolverhampton on Friday with Adam Kirby taking the ride. Adam came in last Saturday to ride the horse in a piece of work. Tidal Fury remains in top form for Saturday at Doncaster and I am happy to see that the going has now changed to soft which he will enjoy. I entered Orchard House for a 1m6f amateur riders handicap at Southwell on Tuesday 29th January.

Tidal Fury prepares for the weekend
Our Grade 1 winning jumper Tidal Fury had is final schooling session before running at Doncaster on Saturday. He is in very good form and enjoying his work. Our only other runner this week will be Pie-O-My who has been entered for Wolverhampton on Friday. He has improved a lot for his first run and looks to be developing into a nice horse.
Our two year olds are developing well and we still expect to have some of them out earlier in the season than would be the norm for us. Some of our favorite horses from last year are back cantering after having a rest at the end of 2007 so expect more news to follow on the exploits of Graylyn Ruby, Maximus Aurelius, Crimson Mitre and Esthlos in the coming weeks.
