Not such a great day today but both horses safe and sound thank goodness. Bella couldn't go the pace and pulled up and Lenny went with them for a circuit but then had a nasty fall and lay there for a while, apparently just having a rest, but it looked pretty nasty at the time. He got up after a little while and was as bright as a button, bless him. Having not had a run since 2013 he got tired and jumped the fence OK but his landing gear didn't come out in time. He was an absolute gent though and gave Jamie Insole a great spin until the tumble. As he has got a reputation for bolting it was wonderful  to see him behaving so well and hopefully he will copy his brother Nelson's  Legend and do the business next time...

We had big celebrations last night and we were all feeling a bit jaded to day - but here are some photos of Dancer winning yesterday - 'Dancer and Winning' don't really go together very easily seeing as it has taken her five years to do so!
