strapping for mr moody!

morning, its 7.20 and im in the office after a mornings work.  4am start this morning.  my job this morning was to take care of peter moodys two runners.  they came over yesterday by transport.  it took them 9 hours to get here.  they run here today! i had to change theyr rugs and walk them up the the tie ups and tack them up.  phill rode one and a jokey rode the other. they only trotted today just to stretch their legs. i took them for a roll and gave them a bath.  dried them off, woolen back on and took them home for their breakfast! i took the same horse to the water walker and swam a few and tacked a few up! the same system.
im strapping one horse for peter today, a 2 year old thats not raced! smack we call him at home! im not sure of his racing name!
i didnt make it to work yesterday, i wasnt well.  i was in bed for 24 hours.  not like me! i felt bad for not working but i couldnt! katie took me to get some dinner last night. i felt lot better this morning!
im flying home tomorow night back to melbourne.  ive really enjoyed my time over with phillip, hes a great person and a hard worker and i wish him well. might never see him again, but im sure ill keep my eye on his runners. 
peter has 8/9 runners at flemington today and 2 here in morphettville and im not sure if hes got anymore.  busy busy busy!
if i can ill report back tomorow before i leave to let you know the results from today, phillip has 2 runners here today, both in the same race.
