Only just seen this BoF and that your lad was 4th, no doubt a disappointing performance.
Keep us informed on both yours….

Thanks Ista. Very disappointing and nothing has yet come to light. The horse who finished behind us at Galway came out an dwon the Grade B hurdle before our race s we were feeling good about the form. I think we can put a line through it but it would be good to have some explanation. He's better than that and he seems well so we will dust ourselves down and see what happens

Yes , Travelman let me know this morning Captain Chris , Gutted to be honest . first time i'd been involved in any sort of syndicate .
And he won nicely last time out . I really thought he might go on to better things ... .

Sorry to hear the sad news. There's a lovely tribute to the horse on the latest Owner's Group video.

Hi BOF. A bit cheeky I know but have you heard any news re Peters Gypsy Island well being since her comeback run/win ??

I don't blame you at all for asking Lobos. She was only half fit when she won her maiden but the 2nd has gone on to show herself a decent 2 miler. She's back in the yard but I don't think there are any imminent plans.

Thank you. Her form stacks up all the way through so I just hope she can keep fit this time and fullfil her potential. I noticed that suprise package finished 2nd to Annie G the same horse Gypsy Island beat so thought you were the best person to ask !

Hope all is well with you Paul.
I see Suprise Package heads to Limerick on Sunday, Elliott has a good one but you have to go there with a chance…

[Bayoffreedom]

Thanks Ista. We hope the problems (we belatedly found) have been rectified - he seems well. http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-...ward-toi-think

Let us know how he is BoF, something has to be amiss after going out so quickly, hope it's found and resolved quickly...

Thanks Ista. He had an A-fib issue with a very high heart rate. We are waiting for it to correct itself (it often does with a few hours) but it is a concern; both as to what is causing it and how to prevent it recurring. We will figure it out and do what is best for the horse. That's racing - more bad days then good ones unfortunately. I just feel sorry for Peter - he holds the horse in high regard, was really taken aback by today and, on top of that, has the added pressure of an owner coming over from America. i tell him that it's my choice but I know it adds to it all.

Everything crossed re FTD tomorrow BOF and glad you have got to the bottom of what is troubling SP. Good luck going forward.
