I almost forgot to post this after today’s excitement. Maymine did as only she does and that is please. Hopefully there’s nice days down the line for her. Tomorrow is a different kettle of fish. Dianthus steps in to pattern company after her Madrid win. Fingers crossed this appears wise tomorrow. I expected her to be sold after her last run. There was plenty of interest but they cribbed her for winning on testing ground. These agents make me laugh. Not many of them are willing to step in early doors and buy value. They want all i’s dotted and t’s crossed before spending twice as much as may have been necessary (cue egg on face). She has her winning bracket, she’s had a run and she handles testing ground. A surprisingly big field of runners have declared and she has the plum draw in 14 (?). I’ve been pleased with her especially in the last few days. She’s getting here in good form on the back of a busy 10 days and fingers crossed she can match it with these. I hope so. It’s not all about tomorrow. She’s a gorgeous, big filly that will thrive and strengthen as time passes. I’m just lucky to still have her.
D-Day
