We were
thrilled with Money Maid (Rosie) yesterday at Wincanton where she ran in a 2m
6f mares’ novices’ hurdle to finish 6th.
To quote The Racing Post: “Money Maid was an eye catcher, staying on
from an unpromising position, hinting at better to come”.
We know there is lots of
improvement in her still to come and this is only the start. We certainly haven’t put the gun to her head
at home or on the racecourse. We are in
it for the long term with the horses and won’t sacrifice that for a good result
tomorrow. We have let her sort herself
out and learn, rather than force the issue.
With Wincanton only being half an hour away, she came back home and put
her head straight into her grub, which shows it was a positive experience. When a horse is learning to accept and enjoy
racing I think it is always better to relax, take your time in a race and be
running on at the end and that is exactly what happened and she finished with
her ears pricked, gaining on the horses in front of her all the way to the
winning post.
We want Rosie to be entertaining
her owners for as long as they wish and longevity is key; preparation and early
grounding is the most important thing to achieve longevity. Of course training and running without shoes
is one of the most important cogs in that goal and Money Maid is trained and
races without shoes.
If
you are interested in owning a share in a racehorse, I would strongly recommend
you get in touch with John Powell who runs EPDS Racing as there are affordable
shares still available in Money Maid - www.epds-racing.co.uk. If you want to meet new people and make new
friends as well as have fun at the races and socially this is the syndicate to
be involved in. Money Maid is the most
beautiful mare, totally generous and will give her all for her owners for
hopefully a long time to come.
