Sorry if I have missed updates anywhere but I saw Jefferys cross ran today and looked to run well off a break.

nothing on the spectre twitter page and used to enjoy the updates in here - hope all is going well with the syndicate
 
He ran a super race after so long off. Only faltered late. Hopefully he's come back sound.
 
Early days, but "GILLESPIE" just made his debut in a Bumper a Ffos Las for Paul Nicholls (with Nico on board) for Owners Group (I have one share! :excitement:)

He is a big, staying chaser for the future and he wasn't expected to necessarily win today - but did so relatively comfortably.

Won't post in Chelt forum - as unlikely to bear any relevance. (Well, not this season anyway :onthego:)

Rehill Relic goes in the 5.03 at Exeter tomorrow. First time in a handicap and ready to run but will come on for the race.

For the others in my stable:
Orbys River will go chasing subject to schooling. May go to Bangor next week.
Mountain Lake had a busy spring/summer for a 4yo and developed the annoying habit of coming into season when due to run. On a break.

Old favourites:
Captain Kangaroo was being prepared for Galway when he had a hemothorax, a sort of internal bleeding. He recovered but it was cause unknown so, not wanting to risk a repeat, we have found him a good home as a hack.
Coningbeg was retired as a broodmare last year. She absorbed last year's foal but we persevered and she is currently in foal to Dartmouth, due towards the end of next March.

Apologies for aftertiming but....bingo!

22/1 winner would've been nice :smiley_simmons:

Well done though.

I never back my own runners and am never confident enough to tip them up.

Looking back, I suppose the fact that Sam wanted to go all that way was a good sign. Kudos and a bonus for his wife, Vicki, who drove the box 6 hours each way.

We're waiting to see what the handicapper does but we might opt to run with a penalty if she's ready to roll again.
