Wednesday 20th January 2021 - another winner keeps the ball rolling during lockdown number 3!

I was delighted to see Hudson Yard winning well yesterday at Exeter after 661 days off the track.  She had some good form to her name in an English Point-to-Point, but has had a few niggles since she ran mid division in a bumper for Emma.  Her owner, Aiden Devaney has been very patient and really we have just been the beneficiaries of that patience.  Thankfully we found a race that probably didn’t take much winning, but she is bound to improve for the run, and will jump a fence in time too, so exciting times will lie ahead with her providing we can have a clear run now.

Hudson Yard wins after 661 days off the track.

We haven’t had too many runners recently, but thankfully those that are running, are running well.  Datsalrightgino was 2^nd in another bumper on Monday, and Rose O’Hara was 3^rd on the same card in another bumper.  Both were arguably quite unlucky as they met trouble in running, and should be able to win their bumpers this spring. 

Sandaroc was a very promising 2^nd on her hurdling debut at Bangor last week.  She was disappointed in a bumper prior to Christmas but benefited from a wind operation, and she has the size and scope to progress from here.  Tallow for Coal was 3^rd in a novice hurdle at Plumpton, where the track didn’t appear to suit him.  He had been 2^nd at Uttoxeter beforehand, and a return to a more galloping track should see him win a maiden hurdle next month.
