My future champ is injured. But at least he's in good company because he seems to have done exactly the same thing as Big Brown, ie tear off the heel of his front foot by over-reaching. Not quite the news I was expecting to hear when I saw Nicky at the sales but I suppose it could be worse and so far it's been plain sailing for Oscar and for Desiree, who has now seen the back of him for a while as he was weaned a couple of weeks ago and is turned out with Chilli Cracker's Avonbridge foal, Pepper.A dismal blogging absence recently owing to the sales season being upon us. Looking at yearlings with John today made a nice change from reporting on the sale and we saw some potentially nice fillies that we hope to bid on tomorrow. Top of my list to look at tomorrow (selling on Friday) is a Sulamani filly out of Moyesii, a full-sister to last week's good first-time-out winner Mastery.
I think this is about all I can manage for now. Bath, book and bed beckon.

Wondered what had happened to you, sorry to hear about Oscar hope he is soon on the mend.Also best wishes to Panto on his official retirement - he seems really special to all of you.
Had a day out at Huntingdon on Tuesday, really enjoyed Terramarique's win - he is a lovely horse too with a good wins;runs ratio.It reminded me that racing is about horses like him just as much as it is about the superstars.
