Unfortunately our new pony foal is not very well today he seems to be running a temperature and looks a bit uncomfortable. The good news is that he is still sucking and is fairly bright in himself. He has been started on a course of antibiotics and the vet will check him tomorrow. Fingers crossed he'll be on the mend by then.
All in all it hasn't been the best couple of days we had three runners at various race courses and they all disappointed! That of course is quite normal when you are involved in racing the good days are few and should be treasured. There is such huge expectation and excitement when horses race from owners and trainers but also from breeders years of work go into the production of each horse and so many things can go wrong along the way. That of course makes winning all the more exciting and once hooked on the adrenalin rush its very hard to give up! Anyway there hasn't been much adrenalin this week never mind there is always next time.
Royal Ascot continues to be a great spectacle and I always like the Gold Cup. Yeats was such a great stayer that this year was going to struggle to compete with the emotion of his 4 timer last year anyway it succeeded in some part as the battle to the line by Rite of Passage was a tremendous performance.
