The weekend did not go according to plan. ASHES SUMMER ran very acceptably in her first hurdle race and loved the jumping bit, finishing a very creditable third, but AUSTRALIA DAY got no furhter than the landing side of the first! Seldom has a horse had conditions so in his favour, so for Lady Bad Luck to intervene was nothing less than a bloody nightmare. After slipping on landing the horse scrapped himself up of the floor, jumped two steeplechase fences, went to the front again, won the race by 35 lengths and then did an extra lap of the track! Somehow, he is pretty unscathed a will hopefully have the chance to make amands before the weather finally turns wetter. COME APRIL was a complete cow at Pontefract and let us down badly, enough said.
Today MRS. TRELLIS runs in a very hot mares only hurdle race at Worcester. She ran very adequately in her mares bumper in the spring and has physically thrived since then. She schools well and will run well, but may still only finish 3rd,4th of 5th in this spicey contest.
