Pau

LMD ran a shade disappointing yesterday at Pau . Felix Du Giles reported that she jumped superbly - but found that he ground rode too sticky / holding . It might be the case that she is still a little weak and needs better ground - as was the case at Fontainebleau . LMD is normally a hard puller - so the tactics were to ride just off the pace - but she never did pull and got too far behind too early . Disappointing - but early days !
That didn't distract - too much - on a lovely New Years weekend in Pau . With the backdrop of the snowy Pyrenees and fire works in the main square - it was certainly a site to behold ! CU
