Unfortunately Houndscourt just ran a bit flat today at Ffos Las in the maiden hurdle, where he finished 6th of 16 in quite a competitive race. He's been ultra consistent in three runs for us this year since he arrived from Ireland, but he's been on the go since late August and I think it has finally caught up with him. He deserves to go on a nice summer holiday now, and then we'll give him a wind op before he goes novice chasing in the autumn.
