We
were really very pleased indeed with the run from Get Back To Me (Tommy) at
Huntingdon recently. He is essentially a
good ground horse over fences (being by Presenting) but we had been waiting a
while for better ground and couldn’t see it coming so we decided to give him a
run over hurdles. I was hoping that
Huntingdon would get rain in the morning to loosen the ground but they didn’t
get much and the ground was soft and very tacky so although it would be safe
for him to run, we knew he wouldn’t like it so to finish 3rd, knowing
he could be a lot better on the right ground was very pleasing. He had also been off a racecourse for over 300 days. He was given a super ride by Daryl Jacob.
It
was great to see Robert Dacombe, his loyal owner at the races and we are very
much looking forward to running him over fences next time, hopefully on better ground.
