Parchment - Weekend Entry
It has been a fairly quiet week all-round here at Pond House though Jack and myself had a good trip to Aintree, met lots of people and bought a horse! Jack and I were up there on Thursday and Friday and there was some good racing and a great atmosphere. We are also delighted to have bought Max Potential from the sales that followed racing on Thursday evening. He is a nice four-year-old by Maxios who would have won his only start in an Irish point to point had he not fallen at the final fence last month and he has settled in well since arriving. We will do a bit or work with him now to learn about him before turning him away for the summer. He is a lovely big horse who still has a bit of growing to do and he will be one to look forward to in bumpers in the autumn. Read more...

Phantomofthepoints runs at Ayr Today
It is a busy day for the team today with six runners spread across three meetings, it does seem a bit feast or famine for us at the moment but that is the nature of things at this time of year, especially with the weather being dry. We have two runners up at Ayr, three at Exeter and one on the flat at Bath. Penn Avenue and Phantomofthepoints are our runners at Ayr and they travelled up yesterday. The ground is described as soft, good to soft in places and should suit both horses. Penn Avenue runs in the 2.55pm novices hurdle over 2m5f and Harry Cobden rides. While she may be better off in a handicap, our four year old filly gets the age and sex allowances in this race which means she will be competitive at the weights on the ratings. She has been ultra consistent in her six hurdle runs for us, being placed each time until a blip at Carlisle last time. There were excuses for this run and it came on the back of a few quick runs together so I think she can bounce back and show her true running today. She has a great attitude and while for win purposes it could be tough today I think Harry will get on well with her and I wouldn't be surprised if she were to outrun her odds and get in the prizes.
