Headly's Bridge - 3rd at Kempton

We were very pleased with Mrs Penelope Bridel’s horse, Headly’s Bridge, finishing 3^rd over hurdles first time out this winter at Kempton on Monday.  It was most pleasing because we thought he was well short of peak fitness.  Conditional jockey Ryan Hatch gave him a lovely ride, he cruised into the race to hit the front two hurdles out before blowing up.

He has returned home fine and we look forward to his next run at Chepstow in a few weeks time.  Penelope is a very special owner as she has been a great supporter of the yard for a long time.  She was very pleased and it bodes well for the coming winter season. 

Headly’s Bridge is trained and runs without shoes which helps him enormously - we will hope we can keep it that way for the rest of the season.
