It has been a week of positives and negatives.
On the debit side, Cresswell Crusader has run his last race for us. After several very trying months, he finally reappeared for us at Chepstow on 7th November. Conditions should have been perfect for him and although he travelled well for a long way when the pressure was applied he went out like a light. It was no great surprise to us that he bled once again and he will now be retired, perhaps to join a show jumping yard.
On the credit side, Royal Announcement is ready to reappear for us in a bumper and he has a number of different options available to him over the next fortnight, depending on conditions. We are hopeful that he can pay his way for us this Winter.
Jaja De Jau is also on course for a juvenile hurdle at Leicester on 19th November. If she fails to acquit herself wll in that sphere, we have the option of returning to the All Weather.
Blue Zealot is another new addition to the team. She was Anthony's first flat winner when bolting up over 2 miles on the All Weather. Although a bit disappointing last time, she is expected to win again at some point.
