Next Wednesday 18th April, it is the Brightwells select sale at Cheltenham racecourse, commencing after racing at 6.30pm. There are plenty of decent horses in this sale with form, Irish Point-to-Point form, National Hunt flat form etc. There have been plenty of top class jumpers that come out of this sale and I would love to go there and purchase one for someone! It is billed as the most prestigious sale of the year and horses from this sale consistently produce impressive results on the track with multiple graded winners and the highest strike rate of Winners from Runners of any National Hunt sale.
We are likely to be there that day with Red Not Blue who is hopefully running, so if you are interested in attending the sale, do come and enjoy a day at the races and I would be more than happy to have a look at some horses in the evening. Please ring me on 07850 350116.
Mrs Penelope Bridel came to see her horse, Headly’s Bridge, do some grid work yesterday and all went well. He has had 4 runs for us – one 2nd and one 1st and we are really glad the rain has come!

Raul Da Silva, who works for Jeremy Gask as his flat jockey, galloped Snowy Valley over 5 furlongs yesterday. He liked the horse very much and said how well behaved and balanced he was. We are hoping he will be running soon with Raul on board. I like using a local jockey where I can, plus it always helps with un-raced horses that the jockey gets to know them at home.
