Best of luck with Buzz guys- think he's up against a well handicapped and unexposed Encore Moi for the Botti team today so it might be a good chance to read his form for future reference.

That filthy, disgusting Musson yard. Should have guessed with the horse starting about 5/1. When there's money around with them you have to be careful.

Buzz too wide all the way but needs some help from the handicapper before he starts any sequence.

Oh dear. It's not looking too promising is it. Maybe with the injury plus the unwelcome op, he's just not up to it now. Maybe he needs more time to forget his experiences. Poor thing he is still only a baby at 3
 
Well having his knackers off has not helped calm him down one little bit. He was unruly in the pre parade ring and saddling boxes beforehand and got himself properly worked up. Greatrex said he hung left the whole way round the turn and then hung in behind horses in the straight. His advice was to try him in cheekpieces. It was very disappointing and the early promise is a very distant memory.

Eyeshine and Frankie cost me a packet in win doubles. A day to forget as quickly as possible.

How is Squire mate?
 
Have you considered stepping Buzz upto 12-14f? How was he looking up close? You reckon he is fit looking?

Been trying to upload a pic of him from tonight but the site won't work for me, may enlist Ron and then you can see how he looked tonight.

Can you try again stick. Nothing attached

He has a minor throat infection but is looking really good at home. He missed Sandown on Saturday and we have decided against the amateurs race at Goodwood this weekend. We will find a race for him next week and personally I cannot wait to get him back on track.

Good to hear he's on the road back mate.

Hope they're 12f+ races ;) ;) ;)

Only jesting of course- the very best with him boys.

Down to a mark of 75 now...creeping back to the 71 he won off!
 
Yes. That image is nearly 12mb stick. No wonder you couldn't upload it

I've opened it and used the snippit tool to capture it. Hope it works OK
 
Still looks a bit light to me stick. He really is a baby isn't he. Watch him mature. Pity you don't have him longer. Must get Amanda to have a look; see what she thinks.

He is very tall Ron and maybe the rest of him still has to catch up but he couldn't look much fitter could he? He is obviously still very immature and somewhere down the line will surely develop into an animal that can win races, as you say we sadly don't have the time.
Would be interesting to hear Amanda's thoughts.
Thanks for uploading the pic.
