🔥 💥 3 Winners In 6 Days 💥 🔥
The horses have been in great form over the past week or so bagging 3 winners.
Ri Na Cuirte hasn’t always looked the easiest of rides in his races however he certainly put his best hoof forward at Exeter in the 2mile 7f conditional jockeys handicap hurdle in the hands of Toby McCain-Mitchell. He returned from Warwick on his previously outing very jarred up so we’ve had to be patient. Freshened up and with the application of blinkers Toby certainly had a willing partner. Ridden positively throughout, even with a mistake at the last he repelled all challengers to score by 1/2 a length for owners Beard, Hill & Langford.
The next winner of last week came courtesy of The Flaggy Shore in the 2 mile mares bumper at Warwick with Toby again doing the steering. Steering is just about all Toby had to do as she cruised through the race before drawing upsides with a furlong to run then duly quickened clear by an ever widening 7 lengths to announce herself as a top prospect going forward. She has always shown us plenty at home but we’d trained her with the handbrake on for this rules debut so she’ll definitely improve for the outing. She will be on the hunt for valuable black type within her next outing or 2. We are hugely excited about the mare as is owner Adrian Paterson!
The 3rd winner came when Good Friday Fairy made his seasonal reappearance at Exeter in the 2mile 3f handicap chase with Sam Twiston-Davies on board. He’d ended last season having won 2 of his last 3 starts and finishing 2nd in a £40k chase. He very much picked up where he left off last season, making all and jumping superbly and showing real tenacity to hold off the Paul Nicholls trained Clotilda by a length in the closing stages. This was his 6th career success and his 5th over fences. We will most likely look to go back up in trip where I hope there’s more to come. Delighted for his owners The Rudimentals who have had such fun with this chap.
As well as these winners the following also ran with great credit:
🥉 Game Colours under Rex Dingle returned to action finishing 3rd at Fontwell. On the face of this it appears slightly underwhelming based on what she achieved last season. However we are very confident you will see a big step forward on her next outing.
🥈 Risk De Pluie finished 2nd at Lingfield in the 2mile 6f handicap chase under Rex Dingle and looks a horse to bag a decent prize this term with a further step up in trip on the cards.
🥈El Bandido Pancho finished 2nd at Ffos Las putting in another solid effort after his win just 10 days previously. Even softer ground and probably a bit further will see more improvement of that I have no doubt.
F – Somethingtosomeone had run a decent race under Rex Dingle on seasonal reappearance before falling at the last when looking likely to finish 2nd. She’s none the worse and will be heading over fences shortly.
🥉 A Perfect Day had been off the track for a year before making a highly encouraging return to action finishing 3rd under Toby McCain-Mitchell at Chepstow. We’ve nursed this chap back to the track and he will improve greatly for the run. We have some valuable targets on the cards for him later in the season.
It’s been great to see happy owners seeing there horses performing well and the team at home seeing all of their hard work rewarded with great results.
A quieter week ahead on the racetrack ….. but plenty going on as usual at home!!
