it was a dissapointing run last night from stainley. speaking with mark after the race he said he asked him for a big jump at the 5th but he jumped to soon and landed on top of the fence which lead to him not jumping like he did at hexham. because of this mark didn't give him too hard a race. susan said she will see how he is today and will either put him away for a couple of months and bring him back fresh or if he still ok himself enter him at kelso next week which should be a small field a...

stainley will be entered in the novice chase at perth. it looks a competitive race but hopefully he will jump around as well as he did at hexham and get a place. again it is avout getting his confidence back and getting him puuting the effort in and running all the way to the line. the ground will suit and is a tight track which he as run well at before.

once before again got placed which we hope will put him right for the hunter chase. he went off odds on favourite but came in well behind the second favourite. he did though, go on the firm ground but the course was shorter than usual and he found it too tight we meant couldn't go with the winner.

stan ran a pleasing 4th on his irst run in a chase. he jumped really well and ran on at the end to just get pipped for third.Tom messenger gave him a great ride and said that he just struggled with the ground a bit, as he was changing his legs a lot because of it. the main thing was that he enjoyed his first chase and finished the race. he did run on again at the end. susan was please with the run and said we should target a couple of similar race before putting him in a handicap. the first 2...
