We are
very excited this season about Headly’s Bridge.
He is looking and feeling fabulous.
Headly is rated 130 over fences and isn’t too far off his first
run. Last season he won first time out at
Exeter off the
same mark in a Class 3 handicap chase, ridden by Paddy Brennan.

He didn’t have many runs last season as the ground kept going against
him. We are hoping for a boggy winter! He is an incredibly well built, muscular
horse and the pre-season build up, concentrating on lunging and being ridden in
a bungee, has helped him develop his excellent top-line. He is barefoot at present and we hope that
this will continue. His feet are also in
very good shape.

Immediately after exercise showing his pronounced muscle and top-line
Headly
was sourced privately by myself for his owner, Mrs Penelope Bridel and arrived
to us from Ireland
as a four year old. He has run 23 times
whilst being with us and has won 4 times – a strike rate of 17% however he is ultra
consistent and out of those 23 runs he has been placed 14 times – a strike rate
of 61%. We are very much looking forward
to seeing him back on the racecourse, ground dependent, for his loyal owner who
is a great supporter of our yard.
