She planted herself at the exit to the course,duly dumped Adam twice and ended up having to be led down to the start.
Slowly away (a trait we are used to) she travelled nicely on the inside rail and it was pleasing to see her handle the bend well and the first attempt right handed.
Anyways with a furlong to go she looked nailed on for a place until that lack of a recent run caught up with her.
Considering how much she would have needed it we have to be well chuffed with the result and it hopefully bodes well for the coming months.Sorry for not commenting on the trainingsituation,it’s just with these things there is so much red tape and the such like and you don’t want to say too much on a public forum,but basically Taj is still trained by Kirsty but until she can find suitable premises to train from the horses will continue to be homed at Hugh’s and run under his name.
Wasn’t aware until recently but you can watch replays of RUK races for a week after they have taken place for free on the new channel 4 racing website.

You need to be registered to the Racing Post website and it works on Internet Explorer (not Firefox) but is useful for those who don’t have RUK and like to watch the replays afterwards.
Will put a couple of piccies on when the opportunity arises.
Thanks for all the info GD, sounds very encouraging! She doesn’t normally play up though does she? Was she just very keen or did something upset her do you think?
Very fresh I would say having not ran for six months,once she gets out of the stalls (admittedly rather slowly) you can’t question her attitude.
Adam Kirby
Taj
Returning after the race
In the winners enclosure
I am pleased to say that I was there.I had a choice to go to Lingfield or kempton and when I saw Tajree was running my choice was made for mke!!
She looked fantastic in the parade ring.I hope my photos of her coma out as well as these.
She was a little minx though wasnt she?Lol But she ran a brilliant race and very nearly finished third.
Thanks guys for the chat at the winning post andf for also showing me the photo on your mobile phone.Unfortunately she won’t be going to Kempton, but there’s a possible race at Wolves next week which hopefully she’ll go for.
Not a lot in the calendar at the mo for her which is a tad frustrating.
It may be unusual but this is a message from one of the opposition on Tuesday.
I keep up a blog about veteran sprinter Blackheath. You can find it here
http://www.pinpoint1.f2s.com/html/black … _2007.htmlElsewhere on the website is a similar blog about Pinpoint, and hopefully there will be about sprinter Something. I don’t know whether these are of any interest. Anyway I was wondering whether anyone here knows of similar blogs or message board threads which follow the fortunes of racehorses?
All the best on Tuesday
MikeDeclared on Tuesday,sadly it will be the first time I’ll miss her running.

MikeGreat blog! I kept one on Feels Like Heaven (horse with Middleham park which had share in) but she only ran twice then retired through injury so that ended that! Love the enthusiasm in your blog, shows not all people aren’t in it just for the money etc and that it is a great hobby – great work keep it up!
Good luck to the team for Tuesday! Sorry you can’t be there GD. Sorry I can’t be there for that matter!
How is she? She looked to get a right bumping from both horses either side of her. Hope she’s ok
