Duffield's Diary

Wednesday

Ann Duffield | Wednesday, 16 May 2012 © Ann Duffield Racing

Yesterdays runners all came home well and ate up. Non blew for long. Today was a a routine day for most of the horses although it seemed to take a while to get the yard back to normal after the main barns enjoyed their "spring clean". Tomorrow we get cracking on the wooden isolation boxes and next week we will finish off by doing the bo

Freezing Beverley

While the steam cleaning entered its second full day I was glad or be going racing, although Beverley was bitterly cold and felt like a mid winter national hunt race day as opposed to a mid May flat meeting.

Torrential rain however, put that plan beyond our reach.&

Yard work today was painful, incessant rain, flooded roads, a gallop that requires paddles and drains on the yard that can no longer do the job, are all making life difficult. In the house the aga is on overtime drying jackets and waterproofs while the tack room pipes are constantly fully loaded with horses nightcaps, waterproofs rugs and staff c
