Minella Shines at Cheltenham

 Yesterday Minellaforleisure had his first outing since December and where better to go than to Cheltenham.  There had not been anything really seriously wrong with him but he had just not been his usual self so he had to have some quiet time!  Being one of the better horses in the yard you tend to miss him when he is not running and it was good to have him back on the track.  It was a boys race yesterday and we managed to have Harry Bannister on top who is one of the best young lads around.  He rode a perfect race and coming to last took up the running only to get caught just before the line.  A great effort after nearly 4 months off and he will definitely come on for the race.  Really pleased for the Patient Partnership who again have been patient!
