The Highs & Lows

Highs-Peeping Fawn on the flat -she took it all in her stride.
Jumps:Being in the winners enclosure at Cheltenham after Sizing Europe won the Greatwood.
 
Highs; Wake Up Maggies two Group 3's were both special but especially the Oak Tree stakes at Glorious Goodwood is the main high as it was unexpected in a big field of runners where she had to run her best race to win and did it quite cosy in the end.

Lows; Riding Sundae all spring thinking he was a good horse and telling everyone, then having my nuts on him when he goes and gets beat at 5/4f in a 5 runner maiden at Yarmouth by a horse no better than a rating of 60..... Only to see him then win 4 on the bounce and end the season with a 3rd in the Silver Cup and a rating of 94.
