Had a wee visit to Katie Scott's yard today and then went to Musselburgh . Got talking to a guy there who introduced himself as Sandy. He was a bit of a larger than life character and told some cracking stories. After a bit he said you have probably heard of at least one of the horses I owned called Brindisi Breeze. I was a bit taken aback, considering the history of the horse. Such a sad story for everyone involved and the tragic events that later took place with the jockey . Racing wasn't great but it turned out a really interesting day and got me thinking, could we make a top 10 of Scottish trained horses ???

Sandy Seymour,does he still have his hair long Dealer? He's good pals with a good friend of mine,they've both got a place in Florida and I met him at my pals daughter's wedding. He's had plenty of health issues of his own,certainly a character.

Yes he has ribero, he spoke a lot about florida and that he had suffered a heart attack there. He was on really good form.

He also spoke a lot about greyhounds, how he used to breed them and his exploits with them in Ireland.

Are we allowed to include Scottish trainers in England? Mark Johnson springs to mind. I would also mention Freetown and other good horses trained by Lennie Lungo.

Cheers dealer,funnily enough I noticed he'd a horse run 2nd at Kelso on Friday Balcomie Breeze trained by Gillian Boanas,I might have got this wrong but think he mentioned he was trying breeding a few,maybe this is one of them? My pal always mentions when he's spoke to him because of my interest in horse racing,there's a gang of them in Florida who all live near each other and do plenty of socialising together!

Surprised Peaty Sandy hasn't had a mention

Peaty Sandy was one of my favourite horses at the time ,I am ashamed to have forgotten him.

A couple of Ken Oliver's The Benign Bishop & Fighting Fit.

You were right, he has bred a few, he spoke highly of a 3 year old he has in france, he thought it could be decent, hasn't run and he didn't mention a name.
Judging from yesterday I would imagine that must be some group to he socialising in lol. |
