Back again, and to continue for where I left off, Dolly ran a really cracking race and absolutely loved it. Ponty then had an inspired ride by Pete who survived some terrible blunders but somehow still managed to get his head in front. A really great day and one to cherish as moments like that don't come along very often. Today I was on 'Nanny P' duty as it was little Henry's second birthday and Sophie had a family lunch to celebrate, which was a lovely occasion. Doug took Popaway and Ben (Whither Goest Thou)to Garthorpe, He hasn't got back yet but phoned to say that Popaway ran a very good second in a sixteen runner race and Ben pulled up - The ground was pretty horrendous by the time he went around, but Peter also thought that he didn't feel like the same horse as the one he rode at Ampton, so he may have a bit of a bug. We will take his temperature when he gets back and see if there is anything amiss. I had better put some supper on - It is pouring with rain again.....
