We had a good schooling session last Tuesday with Luke Kilgarriff on Shilpa and Holly Brown on Opera Prince. We are now lucky to have good riders who sit still and let the horses make their own mistakes; in fact I can’t remember one of them making a mistake! Shilpa was just getting her eye in before hopefully running last week at Ludlow but sadly it was called off because of the weather. It was a real shame as she was top rated on the Racing Post ratings and we were hoping she would improve for her very good first run for us. Shilpa didn’t get to run at Weatherby on Saturday due to the weather, and will be entered up this week as well when hopefully the weather improves.
Opera Prince was having his 4th piece of grid work and he was much improved with Holly on board (who comes from an eventing background). After running over 2m in a muddling sort of race, which wouldn’t have suited him at Kempton last week, we have decided to send him hurdling.
