I like Phi Kirby a lot, as a trainer and a nice guy. He has a really good 'eye' for a horse at the sales. Also has some lovely home breds - check out his FB page if nothing else. Has an absolutely stunning half brother to Lady Buttons amongst others. A little surprised to hear him say not going to focus on breeding more as think he is good at it, and was told that was the way he was going to go, but obviously things change.
 
Anyone any news on Commander Of Fleet?

Can’t seem to find anything online or in the stable tour, cheers.

I think Down Royal is going to come a week or two too soon for him. He's a Grade 1-winning novice chaser and was the apple of our eye before he got injured. We're still hopeful of getting him back but it could be just this side of Christmas before he's out. It’s nothing serious that’s delaying him, he just had a very small setback, but with a horse like him you can’t take any chances so we’ll give him all the time he needs
 
As with Granger’s offer yesterday, if anybody has any particular questions around Skelton’s then post them up.
 
I’d be mildly interested in Spiritofthegames in the BetVictor (intended target). Consistent last year, goes well fresh and, as he thinks he’s improved (though rare for a stable tour to suggest a horse has regressed during the break), he’d be capable of going close off 150 if he has.
 
Eventers are just coming into their prime at 11.

Faugheen made his PTP debut in April 2012 and, including that, has had 23 races in seven and a half years covering less than 55 miles. If he's structurally sound he's got plenty of miles in the tank yet.
