A good weekend at Albury

   A happy result at Albury

 

Our latest 3* horse (two starts) Don Skipcello has just finished Albury on a very positive note.

This time last year he was doing the odd 1* and serving a few mares. Then he became a gelding and was expected to pick up everything I learned overseas, adapt to his new non-testosterone personality, adapt to his new range of movement and level of athleticism (big testicles not in the way anymore) and move up to 3 star.

He has much more adapting to do but every day gets better without exception.

I was wondering where I could find a backup for Under The Clocks. It's a relief when he was right in our own stables and just proves himself as we ask more of him. Well done my little mate!

Under The Clocks continues in a preparation which we hope will get us to Saumur in France in late May.
