Dove and Frog relaxing

What a perfect day. Just beautiful. Poor Red didn't get a mention yesterday because of lack of time, but she also ran a good race for her first time in better company. She jumped a bit slowly which caught her out as it was the fastest race of the season on that track, Will was told to look after her and he did exactly that and pulled her up just before the last fence. He would have come third if he had kept going but was worried about the fast ground and didn't want to bottom her as she would never have caught the winner. She is there for another day. There were rather a lot of sore horses in the lorry park afterwards, so I think the ground was riding a lot faster than it walked.
