    Hi guys

    Sorry this is such a late reply (by about 2 years!!) i haven’t been on here for ages and came across this and will try and shed some light for you.
    Firstly ted is great in a feild chilling out, hunting and loving eating lots of mints still!!!

    As you can imagine stories that you read or hear are not always true and this is the first ive heard of us enquiring about ted to go pointing, we said from day one that he had earnt his keep and should have a chilled out retirement. Also jonjo and dad haven’t fallen out they still keep in contact regularly, he has been a family friend for years. The only reason that all our horses didn’t run for jonjo is that they would go there for a couple of weeks and jonjo would assess the horses ability and not all horses can make the mark, so for a bit of fun and days out we sent iris’s flyer to Steve Wynne’s.

    will be sad to not see his smiley face around the races had some good laughs with him, i think he is an outstanding jockey and will be greatly missed by all.

    heya, <br>i think horses know when they have won or not, when ted won the stayers he was really prancing around like he was the king or something but when he came second at newbury he looked really upset with his head down but then again it could be the vibes the crowd and groom are giving them as they walk in.

    because he is still a good horse, his injury hasn’t effected him at all.
