Action from the gallops on the eve of resumption
29 May 2020
Like many stables are sure to be, the Keeper's Stable string are raring to go from next week onwards. Another fine weather week has seen plenty put through their paces on some firming ground, and the forecast of some rain later next week will add some welcome juice and ease in the going. By that time the summer gallops should be in action, and hopefully several horses will get into highly competitive races at the scheduled meetings. On Wednesday of this week Sweet Charity, Power Home, My Sheila and Carmenere (pictured - 3yo chesnut filly) were photographed on the gallops, followed by Party Island, Eagles Dare, Adaay colt and Bobby Kennedy (pictured - 2yo bay colt) On the Gallery pages a selection of this week's photographs can be viewed.

With the two year olds making good progress with their galloping, here is a work video for the Free Eagle colt called Eagles Dare - purchased at auction last year by Denis for one of the long established syndicates at the yard : the Keeper's 12.
