Monday 5th October: Saturday morning saw DRIVEMODE trotting around the yard behind old stager BRONX BOMBER. It's all been plain sailing with the youngster so far and he seems to be enjoying his education.
New kid trots round the block: DRIVEMODE follows BRONX BOMBER.
CONTEMPLATE is declared in a field of 9 at Leicester on Tuesday. She is partnered by Joe Fanning and will be tried in blinkers to give her a little more confidence after being bumped around in her last outing at Yarmouth.
Wednesday 7th October: A safe and sound return for all after a satisfactory visit to Leicester on Tuesday afternoon with CONTEMPLATE. She finished a most encouraging second to a long odds on favourite having comfortably made most of the running in the 7 furlong contest. At last she has shown at the races a little of what she can do at home. The blinkers definitely made her braver and she was given a very considerate ride by Joe Fanning. At long odds against she was followed by the faithful and they were rewarded!
And as she was making her way to the Midlands track, the yearling out of her half-sister was knocked down for a 105,000 guineas in the sales ring at Tattersalls. He was a fine colt by Footstepsinthesand out of SCARLETT ROSE. A good day for the family!
CONTEMPLATE: those who speculated accumulated.
Thursday 8th October: The rain gauge is back in action with nearly 11mm of rain registered over the last 36 hours. Accordingly, both SANCTUM and THE FRYING PAN find their names back in the entries book. Windsor is a possible destination for them both next Monday afternoon.
Friday 9th October: The rain comes down and THE FRYING PAN gets another entry, this time on Thursday at Nottingham. Meanwhile, here at the coalface, DRIVEMODE leaves the yard for the first time with a jockey aboard bound for a trot round the Hamilton Hill. It was a faultless round. He's doing well.
Saturday 10th October: THE FRYING PAN squeezes into a divided nursery at Windsor on Monday afternoon and lightweight Adrian McCarthy takes the ride. The filly looks very well in her coat still and has clearly not yet noticed that Summer has faded. BIG NOISE might do battle on Newmarket's Rowley Mile course next Friday with an entry in a 7 furlong 86-105 handicap.
