Monday 10th November:

Wart a shame.

I feel it is not gallant to disclose the identity of the young lady, but one of the 2 year old fillies has, at present, a face full of warts! These equine warts – equine viral papillomatosis – are very common in young horses and often appear around the muzzle, as in the case of Miss X. They reach maturity after a growth period of four to eight weeks and then disappear spontaneously three or four months later. Unless the growths become infected, no treatment is needed and once they are gone the paper bag can be dispensed with and a normal social life can be resumed.

LADY ANGELICA and SILENT APPLAUSE took us down to Kempton yesterday on a dirty, wet and very windy afternoon! The filly, equipped with her eyeshields, travelled well in the pack but looked not to see out the mile trip. Her companion wasn't over enthusiastic about his previous trip to the Middlesex venue and this time his opinion was much the same. The bright lights of Summer seem preferable to those on offer for floodlit racing. I concur!

 

Tuesday 11th November: After the inclement weather of Monday, what could be nicer than an afternoon trip to New England Stud to see how Billie Blue's colt foal by Domedriver is doing? And the answer is: very well indeed.

                                                                                                                                                             

Thursday 13th November: LADY ANGELICA has an entry on the fibresand track at Southwell on Tuesday.

 

Saturday 15th November: Beautiful day. Balmy. Sunshine. If this is winter, bring it on! However, the rather hirsute BRONX BOMBER, has other ideas, having already developed quite a pelt. Today is his turn to meet the clippers.
