Frustrating to lose both Haydock and Warwick this week where we should have had runners – but very cold and frosty here although  it has really warmed up this evening. Hopefully Cheltenham will be fine for tomorrow, when Wildmoor Boy makes his racecourse debut in a hot looking bumper. Sadly Cliff Beech under the weather with a bad cold so unable to come to see the first of his homebreds on the track.

A quiet New Year for us – most of the troops off to a young farmers party so it’s a good job we are having a slightly later start in the morning!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
