Seasons Greetings ...

... to my reader ... somewhere out there ! Went down to Pond House yesterday - along with Paul Reynolds and Geoffrey supporters Chris & Debs . Was desperate for a lift home - so any one sufficed ! We handed out Gevrey Chambertin like bottles of water on The Tour Du France . Still - always nice to visit the stables after a winner - especially at Christmas !
DP says that Geoff has been raised 9lb for his win - which I think puts on 138 - a mark which he thinks is manageable . We were considering running him at Weatherby in the Rowland Merrick - but have decided to give him more time . What's not decided is when to give him a wind opp .
I'm already looking forward to Boxing Day racing at Kempton - will be supporting Dynaste in The KG - and whatever else runs . DP is sending horse to four other meetings - so a busy day . Will report .
Forgot to take photos yesterday - so these are from Ascot last Saturday - Lady Caroline with Dell'Arca - and also one of The Racing Post !! Happy Christmas & thanks for reading . CU
