Jewellery - 18th November 2014

Fakenham       At the races mares handicap chase
3m 110 yards      4 runners
Jockey: Paul John       Trainer: Victor Dartnall
Weight: 12-3

I look at Jewellery as my stable leader. This is about the 6th time I've seen her run and she never gives you a poor performance. Quite a small horse but she jumps for fun, jumps dead straight at every fence and rarely seems to make a mistake.
She had been severely knocked up in the weights following a couple of wins on the bounce and was top weight here. Conditional jockey Paul John, who rides her beautifully was claiming 7 lbs.
Jewellery is a front runner and went bowling off from the start here. She led by about a dozen lengths at one point which is not unusual. She's a game filly and doesn't wilt when challenged by other horses. However, the faourite 'Southway star' was too good for her on this occasion. She took the lead about half a mile out and Jewellery was unable to quicken. In the end she was beaten by about 15 lengths and by a good horse but kept her form to come a creditable second.
