A 4th at Exeter with Headly's Bridge

      It was wonderful to see Headly's Bridge coming back to form at Exeter last week when he ran on to finish 4th in a handicap chase. He had just begun to turn a corner a week before and will hopefully improve more. He came out of the race in a positive manner and we will look to run him over further next time. 
      Headly was ridden by young 7lb amateur Zac Baker. It is really good when you find a keen, young lad with a good attitude. Zac gave Headly a lovely ride and was in unison with the horse over the fences which to me is important. We are hoping that he can continue to ride him and build on a good relationship with horse, owner & trainer! We were really pleased for Headly's owner, Mrs Bridel, and are hoping to build on that run. The photo below is of Headly immediately after the race in the stables at Exeter racecourse. And for those that are interested, Headly ran without shoes.
