Seems a while since Auteuil - but all in all - not a lot to tell . However - things are starting to move . DP says Geoffrey has summered well ( he does enjoy a golly good holiday - bless ) and as soon as the ground eases he'll be winning again ! Hmm - won't hold my breath on that one .
And LMD is ready to have her first run and is earmarked for a race at Fontainbleau this Thursday . We had a lovely couple of days with the the Clayaux's in August . Watched LMD do some nice work - jumping included - and she looked very well . She's a bit on the small side - but as Emmanual points out - Fee Magic ( The Brothers mum ) was also . Unfortunately - Fee Magic died recently - still quite young . Such a shame for Jean Marie . We all have to move on in this game .
I did make a small purchase while staying with Emmanual . He showed me a yearling - already named Fontannes - out of Saddler Maker / Oddy - Video Rock . If the Anorak is out there somewhere - could l have the 'low down'?
I'm use to seeing horses gallop before purchasing - so looking at a yearling is probably a bit beyond me . However - Emmanual thinks highly of the stallion - and well - thought l'll take a chance . The days of finding a Madison seems to be fast receding - so this is a nice opportunity to hopefully keep an interest - albeit - sometime 'down the road'.
Anyway - where is Fontainbleau ? Years ago Yvonne and myself ended up at the wrong Bangor ! Im hoping to get this one right ! Cu .... Thursday
