Thankfully all the Easter bunnies have been scared away by Pasha my lurcher and our computer wires are restored.
HERE'S THE KEY lost your/our each-way money yesterday at Huntingdon, because she appeared 'in season' after the race. There is no way of telling how a filly or mare will respond to being asked to race whilst coming into season, until you try. Some pay no attention and run their normal race, while others are affected and usually do not wish to exert themselves unduly. Our filly fits in the latter category and would not quicken when asked and never had a 'blow' after the race, as she just 'went through the motions'.
Not a great couple of days, especially as nerves are beginning to jangle a bit around here, ahead of TIME FOR RUPERT's rematch with Big Bucks at Aintree on thursday.
We have all pondered what to do, but the deciding factor has been that the horse seems in such good form at this moment that we would be foolish to miss the opportunity. You may think that the wise and sensible thing to do is to skip Aintree and wait for Punchestown, but what about the weather, length of journey and how can we guarantee the horse's well-being in two weeks time?
I'm there to be shot at......... but what's new! I trust in RUPERT.
