For Fans of Stormont (IRE)
I know there are a few members on here that were very close to Stormont when he raced in England (Germany and Dubai) but I've heard that he's about to resume his racing career-let's hope he can improve on his 3 US performances of 2005.

Ken and Les still own him. I had a message today from So. Cal. saying that he's progressing well. I'll have more info later today. It's time to put him back in your Virtual Stables.

Glad to hear is coming back, but i'm not expecting too much from him, if anything at all.
He had severe bleeding problems before he left for the States (which was the reason for the move), we were hoping the lasix would sort him out, but it didn't look to have an effect on his few runs over there. He was getting to the stage where he took everything in his stride and was getting far too relaxed when he went racing, and for a sprinter, that isn't a great sign. Given this long layoff, i imagine he could have only got lazier. I hope the big fella will do me proud, but i won't be expecting much. I'm still cursing the day he got beaten first time out when a certain Mr Fallon was caught napping on the lead.

He looks to be coming back to himself, especially for a horse that never really showed a great deal when he worked back at home. As a two year old he worked well (and thw whole town knew it) but he became a very lazy beast. I remember travelling down to Goodwood when he ran in the Stewards Cup and taking him from the yard to the track, he was almost asleep in the box! Are you planning on going to see him soon?
