Rude and crude - 17th November 2014

Plumpton -  SW catering standard open NH flat race
2M 2F - 6 runners
Jockey: D.Bass     Trainer: Mrs L Hill

Going: Heavy

I was lucky enough to visit Plumpton yesterday and was on the look out for a new horse to add to my stable. I didn't have a horse in the 'bumper' category and chose this one as it allegedly went on heavy ground. To be honest, heavy wasn't the word. I walked across the track between races and you literally sank in the mud. It was hard going and the majority of the horses were almost at a standstill when they finished.
Rude and crude was up against the odds on favourite 'Sadler's gold'.
Rude and crude made the running from the start and set a healthy if unspectacular gallop. Slowly, horses dropped off the pace and it became apparent half a mile from the end that the odd's on favourite just wasn't going on the ground. Robert's star put up a challenge but Rude and crude kept going gamely on the ground to win by 7 lengths.
Will be an interesting addition to my stable.
