Fantastic to see Hayley Turner back in the saddle after a four month absence. Hayley was originally banned from race riding for a year on medical grounds following a fall on the gallops at Newmarket in March. Following a successful appeal, Hayley was back in action at Ascot this week.


Congratulations to Richard Dunwoody who finished his endurance epic on Friday, 1000 miles in 1000 hours, or one mile every hour, day and night.


Anyone who happens to have business in Newmarket this week other than racing, may have more than a little to say about the crowds of people there are about. What with the July festival and the Tattersall’s Sales, the place has been heaving. One of the studs own mares, Far Post was sold at the Sales, she will be missed as she was a favourite with the stud staff.
