Sleeping Indian had two pretty impressive winners this weekend ;Shoshoni Wind and Waking Warrior. That's 3 for the season.

I think we always had to be a bit patient with the Sleeping Indians so here's hoping this is the start of something good.
He's a little bit different and as a type he can take any mare so he'd be a definite asset if it comes off.

Iffraaj looks good at this stage.A 2yo the other night called waltz darling looks special,Also a lovely hre horse from stacks looked nice at epsom.An exciting year ahead.

Iceman (GB)
Polar Falcon — Virtuous( Exit To Nowhere )
won Coventry Stakes , died 2008; first 2yos 2009
His first winner today from 24 runners in Britain and Ireland so far
The David Evans-trained Bussa winner on his third start in the 6f maiden at Nottingham today.
Bussa;
(£16,000) 5th foal, half-brother to Everyman, 10f winner at 3-4, 7f 2yo winner Right Step, & hurdles winner Barashi; dam unplaced in 3 starts at 2, half-sister to German Oaks winner Filia Ardross, dam of top-class 1m 2yo winner Sunspangled

I always liked Iffraaj and thought he'd do well.  Have nice mare I'd love to put to him but can't afford to right now.

At the other end of the scale, Striking Ambition has started off ok.  2 runners - 1 win & a 4th.  Has a small crop of 27 I think.  Have mare in foal to him so pretty pleased so far.

Librettist seems to have started ok with 4 winners from 7 runners.
