She had been in great form all winter so it was only a matter of time before Sail Home (Sally) got her head infront again and it just so happened to be in the race she won last year! She thrives on the winter racing and being such a masculine filly when she races with her own gender she is streets ahead in the strength department. Another follow up win in the next couple of weeks should be on the cards.
We have an exciting week with the runners coming up. Silver Alliance bids to follow up his course and distance win at Wolverhampton tomorrow, it is the same sort of race runners wise but I just hope there is a good pace as that suits him best. Then making his debut at Kempton on Wednesday is Vastly (pictured below, grey), he is a big chunk of a colt and has taken a while to get fit, he will definitely need/ come on for the run but he does go nicely at home. Here he is working with old yard stick Exopuntia, she runs in the near future and will be bidding to bounce back after a disappointing last run last time.
Also travelling to Kempton with Vastly on Wednesday is Tiger's Home (below), she has had a few months off after a hard two-year-old campaign. She is quite free going at home so I hope she settles to get the 7f, but she has definitely benefited with some time off as she has grown and filled out enormously.
With it being Vastly's first time at the races it is always a good idea to put them through the stalls at home, it gives them an idea of what to expect and also for the safety of the jockey. This boy had obviously been in before as he was an absolute diamond! He was not as quick out as Attain, who is very nippy, but they always are a bit sloppy for their first few runs before they get the hang of it.
