I haven’t heard that Godolphin are back yet – they usually leave it till just before the Guineas to reappear.
The best person to have stood with is Henry Cecil but with his illness, I’m not sure if he is still riding out.
But regardless of that – you will still get some idea of the vast amount of horses out at any time and what they actually do.
Current gallops open are Racecourse side (other side of the Rowley Mile racecourse) and Warren Hill – as well as Al Bahathri. Limekilns most definitely not open – too much rain!
Clive Brittain is usually on the gallops at about 4am so I guess you will miss him! If you want to see horses en masse, then I would advise Warren Hill/Long Hill or the Al Bahathri which is a bit further away. THere will be plenty of horses around from about 7am onwards although things will go quieter around 9ish (breakfast) and after about 12. Gallops close 1pm for all-weather and 4pm for grass (but you are unlikely to get anyone one that late!)
You are more than welcome to stop by and visit Tajjree if you get a moment although PM me and I can sort a time.
Hope you have a good time though!
Not at all unhappy with the way she ran.  She dwelt slightly in the stalls as Adie said she was being too nosey on what was going on round here and over 5 round Wolves you have to be away sharpish.
It was her first run in a handicap against some pretty seasoned campaigners and as she came round the bend I thought she may sneak a place.  Adie also said he was jostled slightly on the turn which made him lose a bit of momemtum.
There aren’t too many suitable races for her for a week or so but she is learning all the time and is thriving on her racing.
I am sure there are more races to be won with her especially as she has such a good attitude and will to run.

As this is my first post on here, I’d just like to say thank you to all of you on this forum involved in the syndicate for your support and I am over the moon that Taj made yesterday such a special day for everyone.
I was very grateful to Craig for chosing to go with an outfit as small as mine and for believing I wasn’t talking a whole load of cobblers about Taj! Sometimes it can be very hard trying to convince someone that a filly that only cost 800gns was worth taking a punt with, but Craig was very keen from the word go and Andrew has done a fantastic job in keeping the syndicate going.
SO thanks again to everyone – its days like yesterday that make racing such a fabulous way to earn a living.
And Taj is pretty happy herself today – I put her on the horsewalker to stretch her legs today and she is squealing and bucking!
