HAPPY TO HAVE CHARLIE FOR SAM
WE WERE ONLY TO HAPPY TO RECIEVE A CALL FROM OUR GOOD FRIENDS COLIN CALLOW AND HIS DAUGHTER SAM (ABOVE) INFORMING US OF A CHANGE OF HEART REGARDING THE RETIREMENT OF THEIR GRAND OLD SERVANT LONGWOOD FANTASY. THEIR ORIGINAL THOUGHTS WERE FOR SAM TO TAKE 'THE APPLE OF HER EYE' HOME TO ENJOY THE SOFA AT HER HOME IN SHROPSHIRE BUT THE OLD BOY HAS BEEN RUNNING SO WELL OF LATE THAT BOTH SAM AND COLIN WERE KEEN FOR HIM TO REMAIN IN TRAINING AT LEAST UNTIL THE NEW YEAR.
WE ARE DELIGHTED THAT THEY HAVE ASKED TO OVERSEE THE FINAL PART OF WHATS BEEN A TERRIFIC CAREER SEEING HIM BE RUNNER UP IN THE LAURELS IN CONSECUTIVE YEARS AND MAKE MANY PRESTIGOUS FINALS ALONG THE WAY. 'CHARLIE' AS HE IS KNOWN TO THE CALLOWS WILL BE VERY HARD TO REPLACE AND HE HAS BEEN A STALWART OF THEIR KENNEL. IT IS HOPED TO RUN HIM IN THE ECLIPSE AT NOTTINGHAM AND IN THE LAURELS FOR A THIRD TIME BEFORE HE ENJOYS HIS WELL EARNED REST.
