Lincoln ran in a 1 mile dash. Held up from the start, the usually consistent Lincoln just never got into this. Finished middle of the pack in 15th, 30 runners in a 1 mile race is just too many for me.
Two runners for me at the second day of Royal Ascot. Rah Rah in a group 2 5 furlong dash. Unbeaten in the previous two starts, got into a good position but couldn't get on terms with some good looking horses finishing 10th.

Justice Day ran in a 5 furlong dash on the first day at Royal Ascot. At 50/1, I wasn't expecting much. It made a good start and got a great split between two groups of horses. If it had the change of pace, it stood every chance but ultimately was well beaten and seemed a little out of its depth.

Ocean Applause became my first stable runner at Chelmsford over a mile and a half. Held up, it never got into contention and beat only 1 horse. Another poor outing!

Windsor again as Pivot Point had its first run in 222 days. Disappointed as a 2 year old, a couple of promissing places early on, it failed to win its maiden despite going off odds on favourite in a modest race at Brighton. Now in Handicap class, it was sent to the rear of the field in a 1 mile race. Got into good position 3 furlongs out and despite making progress, never found a finishing burst. Really hope the maiden voodoo is broken at some point.

Interestingly, one of my hurdlers Last Supper ran in a 1M3F flat race at Hamilton Park. Got into a good position and kept on well without a real burst of finishing speed. Finished in the places at 3rd.

What has happened to Jewellery? The favourite horse in my stable who always bowled along at the front and gave you a run for your money, changed stables and hasn't been the same horse since. It did actually lead briefly in a 2M4F race at Hexham, but when the pace quickened half a mile out, it couldn't keep up and finished 7th from 8.
