Saturday gallops

Dull, cool and raining welcomed (?) Dodlands team members and owners alike on Saturday morning. Well, it's winter so what do you expect? (© Callum Whillans RacingUK 14.1.18).
Good to see Les Dodds, Eileen Smith, Fozzo and Al down to brave the elements and pop up to the gallops.

Lot 1 were home and hosed before any of today's visitors surfaced. The gallop comprised of four horses who each did a couple of spins.

• Paper Promise (Georgina) - may go hurdling at Carlisle on Wednesday
• Big Bad Dream (Callum) - aiming for a bumper at Ayr, week on Tuesday
• Eternally Yours (Kingy) - similarly, will be entered later on this week for a bumper at Musselburgh week on Wednesday
• Baby Ticker (Murray) - she'll miss Newcastle tomorrow, but look for her towards end of the month

Incidentally you can find out more about Georgina by looking at her profile on our Stable Staff page.

Lot 2 :

• Tomahawk Wood (Georgina) - next appearance will be on a galloping track such as Ayr this month
• Bluefortytwo (Pinky) - next appearance is on a tight, right handed track as owner Rob Bewley takes him to the Tattersalls Cheltenham NH sale week on Thursday
  Both the above did a couple of canters, whilst the trio below did the equivalent of 1½ canters
• 'Nell' (Kingy) - young Shirocco filly gradually stepping up her work
• Paper Roses (Murray) - back in work after a quiet period following her Catterick run at the turn of the year
• 'Sting' - unraced Scorpion gelding back in work after a (planned) break for a couple of months

Paper Roses leads the bay Scorpion gelding ('Sting') and 'Nell'

Lot 3

• Night Comes In (Pinky)
• Dali Mail (Callum) - aiming for a follow up bumper run at the end of February, after a promising run at Kelso last month
  each of whom did a couple of canters, while the pair below did one canter
• Danced Every Dance (Murray) - back in steady work after her bumper debut a couple of weeks ago
• Unnamed 2 year old filly (Kingy)

which left last week's Ayr runners (Side of the Road and Keyboard Gangster) to have a leg stretching walk in nearby country lanes.
