My printer contacted me on Wednesday to let me know that One Jump Ahead will be published next Tuesday (21st September). The demand for the book has been tremendous - I can't remember taking so many pre orders. We will therefore endeavour to send out orders as swiftly as possible - they will be sent out on Wednesday and Thursday and hopefully be with clients by that weekend.
In the meantime, I am heading to Ayr on Thursday evening for the final two days of the Western meeting culminating in the Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday. I am hoping the rain will arrive in time for the ante-post selection which was flagged up in the York Ebor Update. It is always a very enjoyable meeting and I am looking forward to it.
Please head to the Publications section of the site to order a copy of One Jump Ahead and the Updates, if you haven't already done so.
Regular subscribers to OJA will be aware that Anthony Bromley has made a huge contribution to the book over the years. Indeed, the leading bloodstock agent has written an article in 20 of the last 21 editions. Below are a few quotes from this year's offering.
"He looked a horse who will progress as he matures and is another exciting prospect for owner Marie Donnelly."
"I am hoping he could make up into a Triumph Hurdle contender."
"He is certainly a Graded novice hurdler for the coming season and I am excited to see how high he can go."
"The French handicapper already has him on 140 after three career starts and I am confident that the Hales, Sir Alex Ferguson and Ged Mason Partnership have another very nice prospect in him."
"This impressive bumper winner has joined Willie Mullins for Simon Munir and Isaac Souede after being purchased privately."
