Firstly ...

... thank you to everyone for all their good wishes - much appreciated .
I thought Geoffrey was going ok - until one fell in front of him - got stopped - then made a mistake at the next . Whether he would've got into the mix would be open to debate - but he's back in one piece and finished the race . I don't think - at this stage in his chasing career - he jumps quick enough for this grade - quite safe but novicey - needs a lot more experience. We might have to go the handicap route with him .
Otherwise - a tough day . The lovely Lady Caroline had two big chances - ran big races - was theres about - but to no avail . As did Red Sherlock in the first - did well - but found wanting .
Saying that - we had a great day . We were invited by the France Gallop to their box - and well - although not quite Auteuil - was pretty good . They unfortunately ran out of champagne - at around about 4-39 - but very good wine flowed . Perhaps - if Geoffrey had won there might have been some Gevrey Chambertin ! Another year - CU ....tomorrow
