Mistified (Misty) and A Sea Commander (Bud) ran in the Selling Hurdle over 2m 4f. It was a fairly competitive affair, Mistified relished the return to hurdles, jumping and travelling well to finish 4th. A Sea Commander didn't seam to enjoy his return to hurdling and finished 12th.

Monday 14th July - Newton Abbot
Lets Get Busy (Busy) ran in the Mares' Only Novice Hurdle over 2m 6f. She made all in what look a fairly good race under Jimmy Derham to record a 6 length success. It was great day for all concerned being the Rayner's first winner with Seamus, Jimmys first winner under rules, Joel's last winner before he sadly leave's us and my first winner saddled.
Spot The lady (Kal) ran in the Beginners Chase over 2m 5 1/2f. She slid in to the first and just never regained her confidence, Wayne sensibly pulled her up, she is now on her holidays and will come back in the autumn.

Foreign King (Jerry) ran in the Handicap (0-60) over 1m 4f. We just ran the horse again a bit soon after his last outing and he finished 6th carrying a 6 lb penalty for his win on tuesday.
Orion Star (Star) ran in the Novice Chase over 2m 7f. He travelled and jumped really well for Jimmy Derham but just could not go with the leaders as they quickened away, he finished 5th. He will have a break now.
Spot The Lady (Kal) also ran in the Novice Chase under Wayne. This was her first run over fences, she jumped well enough and will come on for the run.

Valassini (Val) ran in the Claimer over 1m 2f. She never got in to the race and finished behind.
Foreign King (Jerry) ran in the Handicap (0-65) over 1m 4f. He bowled along in front on this drop back in trip and no one could catch him! He enjoyed this change in tactics and gave Seamus his second winner on the flat.

Mistified (Misty) ran Beginners Chase over 3m 1/2f. He jumped beautifully and we are very pleased with the way he ran and finished 3rd. Misty is a very honest little horse and hopefully his time will come in the winners enclosure.
Sandy Denny (Tara) ran in the Bumper. Jimmy Derham gave her a very good ride to finish 5th.
Or Sing About (Bob) ran in the Handicap Hurdle (0-115) over 3m. The horse never got in to the race and Jamie Moore sensibly pulled him up quickly. I expect it was to close to his last run for him.
Dalayla (Layla) ran in the Maiden over 1m 2f. She didn't enjoy her run on the flat and we won't try her here again.
Foreign King (Jerry) ran in the Handicap (0-65) over 2m. He ran a good enough race finishing 4th.

Cold Mountain (Chilly) Handicap Hurlde (0-135) over 2m 3f. He probably wants slightly quicker ground had here and the handicapper needs to relent a little as well, which he is unlikely to do after a great effort by the horse to finish 2nd to Sporazene.
Pan The Man (Jock) ran in the Handicap Chase (0-115) over 2m 4f. A very exciting race which was summed up well by the Racing Post: "
Pan The Man", who has won three times at Plumpton, showed himself just as effective on this track with a game effort in second. This was in fact a career best effort from the gelding, and he is evidently still on the upgrade."
The Name Is Frank (Frank) ran in the Handicap (0-75) over 1m, he ran prominently and just weakened over the last 2f.
Persian Wish (Otty) ran in the Handicap (0-70) over 1m 4f, he tracked the leaders and just weakened 2f out and finished a very creditable 3rd.

Avesomeofthat (William) ran in the Handicap Chase (0-135) over 2m 4f, he put in a good round of jumping and finished 7th behind some good horses.
Spot The Lady (Kal) ran in the Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle (0-95) over 2m 6f, she is still big and weak and just couldn't handle the tight undulating track here. But she jumped very well and will be an exciting prospect to go chasing.
