After a quiet start to the flat season our little band of broodmares have been having some excellent results on the racecourse. Start Right (out of Time Crystal) has won at Goodwood today having won in good style at Newmarket 10 days ago. He is trained by my old boss Luca Cumani so it is cheering to know that he is now helping me! Common Touch (out of Flying Finish) won on his first trip to the races at York last saturday. He stumbled coming out of the stalls but still won well and the Racing Post analyst gave him a very positive write up. Boss's Destination (out of Blushing Sunrise) won at Newcastle in June and has been placed since. Lastly Mabait - also trained by Luca Cumani - won in a dead heat a listed race on Sunday. We sold him as a foal for his breeder Clive Ashby who is soon to move and as a result is sending Mabait's dam Czarna Rosa to live at Overbury. The other person who will have been pleased with that win is David Redvers who bought the full brother as a foal from us last December at what is increasingly looking like a cheap price! I should also mention Sasheen (Out of Sashay) who was second at Windsor last night after a long lay off. She was bred by Edward Young and was conceived and raised at Overbury - and looks like she will win in the not too distant future.

I had a long held appointment to visit a friend and breeder near Malvern last Friday. He bred the Luca Cumani trained Mabait, who was sold as a foal through Overbury and he wanted to discuss this years foals so that he could make some plans. I was a little bit late setting out (not unusual for me) and when I was 1/2 way there rang to say I would be about 10 minutes late. Not long after this my car started to wobble a bit and behave strangely. When I stopped at a junction and had some serious wheel spin pulling away I realised there must be a problem and sure enough when I pulled over there was a flat tyre. Changing a wheel isn't normally a problem but I was in a rush and when I came to take the nuts off the wheel I must have tried too hard and the wrench broke in my hands. At this point I thought I would never make the appointment and set off, still with a flat tyre, back towards home. Luckily I came across an agricultural engineers after a couple of miles and they were able to lend me what I needed. The foals I saw were certainly worth the effort in getting there but in futre I think I will be driving a different vehicle to important appointments! The major excitement of last week was the confirmation that Schiaparelli would be joining our stallion roster next year. I have been following him and holding my hand up up to stand him for 2 years now so I hope he proves as popular with breeders as I imagine he will be.
