There were hazy sunny mornings out at exercise
The horses continued doing faster work
We had an interview with another experienced sportsman, Sky commentator and ex-West Ham player, Tony Gale.
Tony Gale on Warren Hill before the Craven Meeting
"I met Tony Gale through Russell Trew," said Mark. "He recently came to the stables before going to Russell's box at the Craven meeting. We didn't have great success with the horses that day, but to go up to that box was the best medicine - there were a great group of people all enjoying life and living it to the full!
"As you know I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan, but they still gave me a good welcome... although they looked a bit blank when I said my football hero was Johnny Fantham - the post-war goal-scoring record-holder for the Owls!"
