Headly’s Bridge ran a cracker again to finish 2nd at Chepstow last Saturday in a 0-115 handicap hurdle over 2m. I felt we were quite unlucky. We have to tuck him out the back early on in his races, as he tends to be over exuberant. I think the more racing he has the better he will settle and hopefully then we will be able to ride him more prominently.
He was completely boxed in on the home turn and couldn’t progress forward as we would have liked. The winner stole a few lengths on us before we got going and we were gaining a lot at the finish. Overall I am delighted that we have a lovely horse that is only 6 yrs old and has a lovely future ahead of him. I know there is plenty more to come plus he wouldn’t go left handed when he ran in Ireland so that is one obstacle we’ve overcome as well with Chepstow being left handed.
