This was an uplifting positive video after some challenging ones recently. Its great to see you with a smile on your face and full of optimism. I am looking forward to the next race and i think a decent size e/w wager is on the cards for me. A falling mark and an uplift in form/fitness as well as the change in jockey and more suitable distance/conditions could well be the recipe for success. Wishing you all the best for the race. I can't wait.

Good luck with it, he has got to prove himself but he has every opportunity. Some horses don’t really go for female riders, exactly the same as some don’t go for conditionals. This guy is not an easy ride as he appears to find very little off the bridle. Hopefully it all comes good for you and him.

@JackBurton-w7x4 күн бұрын
@ yes trip wise is an enigma. The original trainer appears to have had a similar problem. He appears ( could be wrong) to tank into the race but when unleashed finds little. Direct Route of Howard Johnstons did this. Held up to the very last moment as once in front he stopped like he had been shot. I think this guy has similar problems though Direct Route had great speed making it easier to produce late ( grade one winning novice chaser) and needs to be produced after the last.
