On the M25 (with apologies to Jack Kerouac)

My clever little Vodafone USB stick means I have internet access in the back of the horsebox, where I am now, en route to Windsor with Brief Goodbye, who runs at 5.05pm.

Having ridden down the heath behind Brief and Jill yesterday morning and witnessed Brief bucking every few strides when he was supposed to be trotting, I'm hoping he's feeling as pleased with himself today as he was then and can get back to his winning form. He's saluted twice at Windsor already. I always like racing there as it's the town where I was born and a nice run would make the day extra special.

Every day around horses is special but we've been extra lucky this weekend. On Friday, as John has already reported, we saw Seachange (pictured). I've followed her career in New Zealand for several years now via my work for the Darley website as she's by Cape Cross. Only Ouija Board has been more of a star for him than this mare and I can't wait to see her run at Ascot and, hopefully, at Newmarket in the July Cup.

Her strapper Jane Ivell says she's been very keen on the Heath in the mornings - not surprising considering it's a massively different training environment to the one she's used to. I think she might join in with Geoff Wragg's string but if that doesn't settle her down, then I might offer Panto as a lead horse. He's strictly Group 1 these days following his chaperoning of Natagora last autumn. It was such a thrill to see her win the Guineas. I'm sure Panto would deign to accompany Seachange, after all she is a seven-time G1 winner.

Brief's just kicked the partition wall. He's as eager to get off this lorry as I am but at least the traffic is running smoothly and we've just reached the M4 junction so not far to go.
