We get one or two really pleasant surprises through a season and about a dozen nasty, inexplicable and horrific ones!!
LLAMA's last race at Ludlow was a huge disappointment, he just didn't seem to get involved, while we'd always thought highly of him. On saturday he started the race still looking a little clueless, but never has a horse learnt so much in five minutes because he went to the line, three lenghts clear, like a real 'pro'. This may not have been the hottest contest but neither was it an 'egg and spoon race' and this horse created a very fair impression. He has tremendous scope and a wonderful attitude so let us hope that his future is golden. One of the best sights of the day was owner John Timpson calculating his winnings from his tote tickets!
