I've not posted any news about Major Miller for almost a year because, frankly, there hasn't been any. There's been nothing wrong with him but Nicky Henderson, his trainer, wanted to give him time to grow and strengthen and, at last, he now thinks his frame has developed such that he is ready to run.
It's been a bit frustrating - not to say expensive - having a horse for a year doing nothing on the racecourse but the whole point of buying him as a three year old was to have a horse for the long term so I can't really complain. And since he's trained by a master - in my view the best around - then I am perfectly happy to sit back and let him as he sees fit.
So...fingers crossed he will run a week or two after the greatest week of the year - next week's Cheltenham Festival.
More soon.
