Hello, and welcome to Buttercup Stables! My name is Mr Matthews Im the horse racing trainer here at Buttercup. Come inside and make yourself feel at home. Feel free to have a wander around and meet the gang. Theres the bubbly and beautifulRaceyStacey, or the marvellous but mischievous Hurricane Harry. Be sure to give a pat on the back to the elegant Winter Snow, or our champion, Jonny Rocket! Oh, and do me a favour. If you bump into Grey Ray, try to cheer him up for me, wont you? Hes only happy when its raining.

Im busy (as always!) so if you have any questions and you cant find me, you could always grab stable girl Sarah, or either of the two jockeys, Peter and Jane Im sure they would love to help you.

Pop in and join the adventures at Buttercup Stables, where you will experience fun, laughter, and all the thrills and spills from the racecourse! Once again, welcome and just one more thing. Dont give Tank anything to eat he has already had a bucket full of carrots this morning!

Hold on, I''ll be with you in a second. What a morning I''ve had. You would think running a yard of racehorses would be hard enough, but I''ve had Racey Stacey and Hurricane Harry arguing like cat and dog, and on top of that, Tank has eat so many carrots there''s hardly any left for the rest of the gang! Let me introduce myself. My name is Mr. Matthews. Horse racing trainer here at Buttercup. If you''ve been lucky enough to have been here before, welcome back, and we''re glad to see you again.
