Well there was a bit of excitement yesterday with regards to our syndicate racehorse Outlaw Tom - He WON !!!

He was running at Hexham and this was his first win as our horse, he was just brilliant. I was at work and kept checking the racing results for his race until it finally came in and read 1st Outlaw Tom Horses - Page 3 71418

I could believe what I was reading and then I promptly burst out crying Embarassed

Thankfully the girls who sits beside me in the office know how passionate I am about my horses so she fully understood ! I didn't get to see the race until about 11pm at night as I went straight to Debenhams from work but it was well worth the wait, our jockey gave him a fantastic ride and Tom was just awesome Horses - Page 3 853843

It's a wonderful achivement for our syndicate Cool

Thats wonderful news Doogs, what a result for Tom and all the syndicate, I bet the celebrations went of for ages.
He is a handsome lad isn't he and he well deserved that bucket of water afterwards.
GO TOM GO

Well our horse, Outlaw Tom runs again on Sunday at Kelso. Same distance as his last race, 4 miles affraid

but he coped with it last time so why not again ?

The race is a better class of race than Tom has been running in, he will be up against horses that are rated higher than him so as a result of that he's got a light weight on his back (10 stone 3lbs as opposed to when he won last time out he was carrying 11 stone 6 lbs). If he puts in a good, clear round of jumping you just never know Cool

Race time is 2.30pm on Sunday

This is a worry. I hope it doesn't reach Scotland Doogs and that Tom stays safe.

Gosh thanks for that link LW. Never heard of Atypical Myopathy

- a very worrying illness as it is so fatal.

Well Tom ran on a rather cold but dry Kelso on Sunday. He completed the course finishing a very gallant 7th place. The step up in class was too much for him so he'll now get a good break and run sometime into the New Year.

The main thing was not the winning but that both Tom and his jockey Campbell both came back safe and sound cheers

**Laikipia** Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:53 pm

I so agree Doogs and well done to Tom - I hope he enjoys his break.
