I hope none of you who had wanted to see…

I hope none of you who had wanted to see Bliss and Misty being worked for the last time missed them being ridden. The weather was a bit grim this morning. fortunately the weathermen got it right today and it brightened up this afternoon. It didn’t rain as hard as they forecast but it was very windy, so much so that most of the leaves on the trees around the Farm House have blown off. We have a number of Acacia trees in the yard and they are completely bare.

Both Bliss and Misty worked well today. Misty was on her toes a bit. With the leaves being blown off of the trees she could see the Sheep properly, that previously the trees had obscured, they made her look a bit, so I needed to walk with her a little. We have taken a few photos of the Fillies that I will post on the website as soon as I am shown by my web man.

I must admit every time that we see the Fillies we start talking about them, about them not being here after tomorrow. We have no preferences for any of the Horses, but Bliss and Misty will be missed more than any that have left Denbury previously. Both are very kind and want to be around people which has made them very easy to work with, especially when they were being broken. What ever happens in their racing careers, both will return to Denbury to be Broodmares.

Marie asked if any one who knows Bliss and Misty will be travelling with them to France, and will they be close when stabled. They will be travelling over night, arriving in Chantilly about midday on Tuesday. There is no one spare at Denbury to travel with them. I really cant afford the time to travel there myself, but I will sometime in the week go. Bliss and Misty will be stable next to each other. The Trainer also has a double stable, that he may put them both in. I will let you know all about what happens to both Bliss and Misty over the coming months.

I was speaking to one of the UK Trainers who I had enquired about training Bliss and Misty. He never came back to me as he had lost my phone number. When I told him that I had decided to send the Fillies to France, he said that he did not blame me, as he agreed that the training fees were a lot less than in the UK and the prize money was a lot better in France. He also knew the Trainer, and had visited his training establishment. He was impressed with both. The Trainer that they are going to only trains about fifty Horses at a time, and has a good reputation.

The Astro Webcams are working. I am having to adjust them remotely. So please be patient.

We have made up our minds about Bliss and Misty. Both are going to France to be trained for Flat Racing. I could never imagine us sending them to the Auction this week, After speaking to a very good French Trainer over the past couple of days, who we liked the sound of, and who we have managed to come to an arrangement to keep the training fees to a minimal amount, it was a very easy decision to make. The intention is that once the two Fillies are broken to ride out, they will be going to a training establishment very close to Paris. The expected day of the two Fillies leaving Denbury is the 19th of November, arriving within twenty four hours of them leaving.

We are going to France to meet the Trainer on the 20th. We are hoping to arrive on the same day as Bliss and Misty. I wont fly, so we are travelling by Eurostar. The journey time now that Eurostar leaves from St.Pancras to Paris, take about two hours fifteen minute. It takes us longer to get to London from Somerset. I will tell you more tomorrow, as I am messing about adjusting the Astro Webcams.

Elaine, we do have a very expensive Solar Telescope, that you are able to see Spots and Flares on the Sun. Time is the biggest factor. But I will try.

Elsie. Do not let you MP tell you what is not true. Ask him if he has read all on the Badger and Bovine TB. Obviously he has not. And remember that a MP works for you.

As I said in last night Diary there is no…

As I said in last night Diary, there is no way that Bliss and Misty are going to be ready for the Auction on the 27th of this month, at Doncaster. I must admit, that I really did not want the Fillies to have the trauma of the long journey from Taunton to Doncaster, to then being put in a strange environment, prodded and handled by potential buyers, to be then paraded in front of a large audience. They would like that one bit, let alone being parted from their lifetime friend.

I have been making enquiries into the options of racing the Fillies myself. It has been a waste of time phoning UK trainers, out the six I have phoned, only one has had the decency to get one of his secretaries to phone back, and she needn’t have bothered. Their daily rate was
