EVERY TURN UP A BLIND ALLEY
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID BEFORE '... EVERY TURN I MAKE IS UP A BLIND ALLEY!' WELL FOR US THATS JUST HOW IT SEEMS OF LATE AS WE STRUGGLE TO REASSEMBLE OUR RACING STRENGTH AT MONMORE. THOSE WHO ARE WITH US KNOW THE EXTENT OF OUR INJURY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS, FOR TOO MANY DOGS ARE UNDER TREATMENT (ABOVE) AND IT'S BEEN HARD TO SAY THE LEAST. NOT CONTENT WITH STIFLING US IN HAT MANNER IT NOW SEEMS THAT JUST AS WE ARE BEGINNING TO RE-TRIAL MANY OF OUR FORMER CASUALTIES NATURE HAS DECIDED THAT OUR BITCHES SHOULD BEGIN TO BREAK IN SEASON.
POOR DENNIS BECKETT HAD WAITED FOR 5 WEEKS FOR HIS PARADISE AVIVA TO HEAL FROM HER INJURY THEN THE MOMENT WE ENTER HER FOR A TRIAL ... BINGO! ... SHE DROPS IN SEASON!! OUR HEART GOES TO ANY AND ALL THAT SUFFER THAT FATE, VERY HARD LUCK INDEED. HOPE THERE AREN'T TOO MANY THAT FOLLOW EVIES LEAD!!
WE ARE MAKING INROADS IN TO OUR INJURY CRISIS HOWEVER, AND WE WILL COME AGAIN. HARD WORK AND FOCUS ARE NOT LACKING IN ALL AT VILLAGE FARM AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND SUPPORT OVER THE PAST MONTHS. WE'VE HAD LOTS OF OPTIMSTIC COMMENT FROM OWNERS THAT HAVE SUFFERED POOR FORTUNE, AS ALWAYS OUR OWNERS ARE STEADFAST AND LOYAL AND FOR THAT WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.
