Hello my reader somewhere out there - how u doin'? I'm off on my annual cycle ride next week through Spain to Ceret - so thought about time for some stuff ! So - here goes .
Had a wonderfull couple of days at the Arquana sales in Deauville . Didn't buy this year but caught up with DP - MCP and the lovely Carol P ( think she feels the same about me ) and the lovely Lady Caroline Tisdall . The President of Arquana - Eric Hoyeau - treated us to a rather stupendous meal at the Restaurant Drakkar ( think it was in recognition of the two brothers being bought at the Arquana sales .... or perhaps it was something to do with MCP - anyhow - I digress ) . An evening to remember .
Also caught up with Emmanuel Clayeau and will visit them for a couple of days in August - hopefully when Vichy races are on . I think Emmanual came third in the French Trainers table and also passed 1m€ for the first time - so well done to him .
DP was certainly very active in the sales ring - buying 6 horses ( 3 for Lady Caroline ) for a total near on 650k € ! Willie Mullins was asked if he had bought anything and replied that he tried - but the Pipes got them all ! Here goes with the list -
Baby Jane - 18k€
Époque Misselot - 63k€
Barret - 65k€ ( a Dom Alco which Lady C asked me to share )
Brenda De Ronceray -70k€
Northern Bay -150k€
Batavia - 180k€
Best tip of the year ? DP to win trainers championship in the next 3years ! CU
