Whitley Farm Racing and Rehabilitation

David and I were very impressed yesterday watching a program about Tom Lacy on ATR.  Giving youngsters the confidence they need to succeed in a life of racing is vital and something we strive for with ours.

Another blustery day here at Whitley but all are going well. We are looking forward to our first run with NoBetter Buachaill and Silver Peninsula on Saturday at Ideford Arch, 'Penny' in the 2 1/2 mile maiden and 'Bucco' in the 3 mile maiden.   We're hoping the 'penny' will drop for Silver Peninsula as she is proving to be quite immature mentally and is unaware of her own ability.  Bucco is impressing us at home and hope he will continue to do so on the track.

We hear all good things from Mr. Fry concerning 'Wiffy', who we prepared for a bumper run. They are pleased with his work and attitude and plan to run him in a few weeks' time. Good luck Wiffy, we'll be watching!

Praise Hymn, Miss Nut Nut and Pearly Star are getting ready for Buckfastleigh in a couple weeks' time. Calzaghe and Develop U are cantering buddies after a long time on the roads building their strength. Both are impressive and plans are that Calzaghe will go hunter chasing in the near future and Develop U will have a point to point run perhaps late March.
