Feeling sheepish
Sep 5th, 2008 by Bert
No good for Pansy, but an fair run and the general view seems to be that she’s still a bit of a baby and will progress as the season goes on. She didn’t look to get the mile and seven furlongs looks more the ticket. Next time out we’ll run her up with the pace a little more.
The positives; she’s genuine and has a positive attitude, and she’s a nice looking type. The negative; she’s running in a very low grade and she’ll have to improve a great deal if we are to get our money back in the sales.
Marine Boy will not now run on the weekend, and will probably not come out again until the Mill Reef. Prince Ary has also been withdrawn on account of the very soft ground. At this stage I’m not sure when my next runner will be. Lilac Moon will come out around the 16th. Bet Noir is looking for a run, and could go at Kempton on the 10th. Nicky Nutjob will be out as soon as the ground improves. Mon Michel is targetting the Cesarewitch in October and could be out beforehand.
Nicky Vaughan has sent me some pictures of Lilac Moon, who has forged an unlikely friendship with his pet sheep Forrest;

Lilac has developed into a really nice looking mare, and I’m hoping to have her on the stud one day. Nothing against Forrest, but we’ll probably look for a more traditional stallion for her. Sheepdogs have proved very popular over the years, but sheephorses have not fared so well:

What really lovely photos! Love the sheephorse.
Lilac Moon is a real good-looker. Very athletic looking, especially in the fore-quarters and neckline. She’s a darling.
100-1 Baa One.
Pretty good TG
Bloody rain.
Cheers Mick. :-).
Andrew,
Im just wondering why Betfair do not allow punters in Japan to use the system.
Will this change ever in the future? I find this very frustrating,
Thank You

Time to end your sabbattical Bert.
You and Mick Stone need to head back to base camp and sort this nonsense.
FFS you worked very hard to set up this company, and this could destroy your children’s inheritance.
Good Luck.
Bert…
