Maybe Plenty - 14/1/15
Newbury Betfred TV EBF Mares National hunt Novices Hurdle
2M 5F 8 runners
Jockey: G Sheehan Trainer: G Smyly
Weight: 11-6
Finished: 6th
Led for 2 circuits and looked sprightly, when she was joined half a mile from home and the pace quickened, she had nothing in the tank and finished a disappointing 6th.
I follow about a dozen racehorses over the flat and National hunt. This blog will give details of their runs along with any other news and thoughts. I would love to hear any comments or details of horses that you follow.

Last supper - 8/1/15
Southwell coral.co.uk best odds guaranteed on racing median auction maiden stakes
1M 3F 6 runners
Jockey: T Durcan Trainer: J.Bethell
Weight: 9-3
Finished: 1st
A bit of a surprise to discover one of my novice hurdler's entered on the all weather. Jumped out of the stalls into an early lead but soon fell into about 3rd place. Ran the rail for the whole trip, always looked comfortable, made its move 3 furlongs out and quickly dropped the 2 rivals that went with her. Not often you relax 1 furlong from the finish but this was a really comfortable victory.

Rude and Crude - 4/1/15
Plumpton At the races Sky 415 EBF stallions 'National hunt' novices hurdle
2M 5F 7 runners
Jockey: Nick Schofield Trainer: Mrs L Hill
Weight: 11-2
Finished: 5th
After a winning bumper debut and a follow-up 2nd, this was Rude & Crude's debut over the sticks and he has still to run anywhere but Plumpton. Led from the start and looked terrific for 2 circuits. But coming round the bend at the railway turn with 3 furlongs to go, he came under pressure and there was nothing in the tank. Ended up 5th but will come on for the run.

The Young Master - 20/12/14
Ascot Mappin & Webb Silver Cup Handicap chase (Listed)
3M 9 runners
Jockey: B.Geraghty Trainer: N.Mulholland
Weight: 10-9
I saw this horse run twice in a couple of weeks and both times it was superb, so in my stable it went. Unlucky to have a win at Wetherby taken away as it was not eligible to be entered ! (How did it ever reach the start line?). Possibly not its most fluent run in this good quality race and jumped out to the left a couple of times. When Geraghty asked it to go half a mile from the finish, it turned on the class and won this listed race impressively. Surely a festival horse in the making....

Haydock Swift SFM Mares' Novices' Hurdle LISTED
2m 4F 5 runners
Jockey: G.Sheehan Trainer: G.Smyly
Weight: 11-0
5 horse race that went off at a cracking pace. Maybe Plenty was stuck midfield between the leading pair with 2 behind. Every time it tried to get on terms with the leaders, they pulled away again. Eventually, pace was too much and he struggled home in last place.
