Creaking Bones aka " Tonsils ", will be contesting the first semi final of the Friends of Thurles Stadium A3 Stake on Friday, from Trap 5. He has never raced from this trap before, but he does seem to hold a straight line to the first bend, where he then cuts in. 3 winners of the first heats are in this competitive semi, and I would think whoever wins this semi, would be a hot favourite to win the Final. Its in the lap of the Gods now, but he is very well in himself, so fingers crossed.
Tonsils suffered his first ever defeat at Thurles last night, but it was the trap draw that beat him. He went up to the first bend, and then cut in as I feared, to be badly bumpded and knocked sideways. He ran his heart out trying to get back into the race, but alas it was not to be. One good thing came out of this race, which was the fact that he didnt show any signs of cramping this time.
