Congrats @Joe!

Nice stakes turn out! Though I accidentally entered a MSW flat runner in a steeplechase, much to my horror. He did win his SC stakes, so hoping it wasn’t a debut fluke and he will continue to run well.

Nice outing today! The year of getting to be pasture puffs before returning to work has really seemed to agree with most of my ponies, but sadly for them I don’t think there’ll be repeat anytime soon :wink:
