In a week of three seconds, which seldom brings a cheerful grin to The Trainer's face, it is nice to see someone smiling around here!
May be not everybody will recognise the face of this notorious "Knight of the Pigskin", a term for describing jockeys in olden times. This is not a typical photo of Ryan Moore or A.P. McCoy but of Humphrey Butler about to finish third in a Charity Race at Newbury. What the picture cannot show is that 'Humph' single-handedly raised over £18,500 for the Children in Crossfire Charity, a remarkable achievement. Many thanks are due to Iain and Linda Watters who so generously lent KRISTALLO to Humph for the race and to all the team at Cropredy Lawn who have helped and coached Humph towards this great effort which was carried out in a most professional manner.
So despite JUST VICTOR, CARBON PRINT and AUSTRALIA DAY all doing their best but finishing second, we can say that our 'third' with Kristallo and Humph was the performance of the week.
