The last week hasn't gone to plan, John Biscuit ran a very poor race at Huntingdon when I thought he should have won, he seemed fine after the race and barely had a blow so I put it down to him not being able to dominate and throwing his toys out of the pram, however when we trotted him up yesterday he was sore in front, unfortunately the vet thinks he needs an xray so that is being done tonight.

The last few weeks have been busy (where is time going so fast??!!) and I never seem to get time to sit and write - or i'm just lazy... However we ran John Biscuit last week in a boy's race at Wincanton and I really thought that he would win, the young lad we had up on him Harry Teal gave him a great ride and learnt a lot from it. JB finished 5th beaten 4 lengths from the winner, which gave us hope that he will win soon, I may run him back on the flat now he is enjoying his racing again.
