Lemon Silk

Is this the horse that is owned by naps (I think) and is it still owned by him?

[davidjohnson]

It is indeed.

[naps]

Indeed Has been given a mark of 131 by handicapper….somewhat high in my opinion..

[vikingflagship]

indeed it is a name i never forget

[rory]

I take it the Fred Winter beckons then naps?

[naps]

No Rory….he’d be carrying too much weight for a small horse. It’s a long way off but the Imperial Cup followed by the Supreme Novices or Triumph is a possibility.

Not heard from Gardasee in a while Naps is he doing ok? Novice chasing the plan?

[naps]

Gardasee’s doing great….really filling out his huge frame and will be going novice chasing. Expect to see him out around Xmas.

[Irish Stamp]

Thanks naps – sure looks a horse of great promise, did I see him win on the flat over the summer?

[naps]

Yes, a couple of ladies races. He and Dinarius
have also moved to Kahlil Burke. Dinarius will
be the one to look out for when he runs in about
2-3 weeks.

I saw Lemon Silk run a couple of days ago, and remembered he was yours naps. Looked as if he ran a pretty good race.

Not half it’s a bit high! Crikey, Naps, that’s not great news.

Stay on the Grade 2 Hurdler.

Nice one naps.

Thanks DJ, much appreciated.

Absolutely terrific result, sir, really really pleased for you!

I’m not sure what I found the most nerve-wracking – Lemon Silk hitting the front as early as he did, or the venerable Dave Smith calling him the winner a long way out despite Art Professor mowing into your boy’s advantage hand over first inside the last half furlong.

I don’t think Lemon Silk would be the classiest horse to line up in the Triumph if he went that route, but he’d be among the bravest, and I could think of worse long shots in the event of appreciable dig underfoot. Whatever, his has been one of the most heartening success stories of this jumps season given all his injury problems, and I await his next appearance with interest.

Had Mr Burke been drinking Naps? He’s talking Supreme Novices for your fella, would have thought the Triumph would be more obvious

Congratulations on the win – great run from Lemon Silk
