What a week, likely my best period in the league let alone in the week one maiden madness. 14 total wins, 7 per code, not sure what to do now, never had so many highly rated horses..........

Flat

Randolph Scott - 2nd - Denied his moment of glory by the fast finishing 'Digial Prince' but great run in a G1 for me, first time my sprinters have ever measured up.

Hippogriff - 1st - G1 winner from a horse I was less than convinced would be good enough, remains to be seen if both me and comms team are wrong, delighted to chalk one up so early in the season.

Deadly Drop Bear - 5th - Never been overly impressed by him, but has been known to put in the odd monster trial performance, this however was not one.

Fusion - 3rd - Good enough opening run, will see how he fares over 2m next week

Colour of Money - 2nd - Did it all right so not really a disappointment, know she caps out at 1.4m, and the final 1f was her undoing today. Still Oaks bound

Fine on Paper - 6th - My 5f experiment thus far looks foolhardy. Not much to like in todays run.

Werewolf of London - 3rd - Not a good ride, was nicely positioned, before the jock let him drift to last and then challenge again at which point it was all too late. Will improve if the wee man gets it right.

Cometh the Beast - 1st - Did it perfectly, very happy with her today.

Wish I was in Dixie - 6th - Too much to do, but little to split the top 6.

Jump

Pursuit of Magic - 1st - Did really well, dispite the poor jump at the last. Always a mark of quality to out stay one of John's monsters.

Eights A Mystery - Pulled Up - FU racekit

Kingdom of Purgatory - 1st - Always fancied him for this, in what I respectively thought maybe a weak field. Did the job on the day, dispite a late blunder.

Sky High - 4th - Good opening run, should improve on that with better ground

Kingdom of Nuts - 4th - Another with a decent opening showing. 'Sir Ken' looks like a handful best tackled by my no1 4yo going forward.

Unto the Breach - 3rd - More place money and another whose opening run shows promise.

Get well soon Paul

Thanks Jim think i have it beat now

Shocked to already have a winner with Mansell Lacey picking up the city and suburban handicap.

He did nothing last year so must have been thrown in off 50. Maybe this shows that bringing horses back is a good thing and potentially are well handicapped

Congrats with the win. It was a great battle with my horse, Apple Valley.

Congrats Follis. Your horse and the runner up enjoyed the easiest of paces, got headed in the stretch, and still came back to win and place.

I thought you just had it Daniel. I'm sure your first win of the season is very close
