Elfride was travelling very strongly into the straight at Ludlow on Wednesday after which she failed to choose up and completed fourth. We subsequently discovered that she had damaged a blood vessel which might account for her efficiency. The issue just isn’t unusual with racehorses and we are going to now deal with her for this situation and I’m certain if we are able to kind the issue she will probably be very aggressive as soon as once more.
Yesterday I went to Newmarket gross sales and was lucky to purchase Sumatran Tiger who has raced in each France and Jersey. Having seen her win two Jersey Derbys, she has loads of means and can hopefully be a dual-purpose horse for us. She has a pleasant pedigree and hopefully will probably be one to go to the paddocks ultimately.
This morning Richard Johnson got here to trip work on Neeps And Tatties, a five-year-old daughter of Black Sam Bellamy who he bred. Tatty has taken a little bit of time to mature and would have run in a bumper earlier within the 12 months however for pulling a muscle. She is entered at Hereford on Wednesday and hopefully after this expertise she is going to go hurdling. She has a pleasant pedigree being a half-sister to a number of winners and I’m certain she will probably be rewarding her homeowners’ persistence sooner or later.
We now have different entries for subsequent week which some will probably be floor dependant however anticipate finding some aggressive alternatives.
