Monday fifteenth April, 2024 – Richard Phillips Racing

We’ve declared Organdi at Cheltenham on Wednesday within the three-and-a-half-mile handicap chase.  She can be wearing joint best weight due to this fact Finn Lambert will trip and take off 3 kilos.  Finn rode her on Boxing Day at Marketplace Rasen and were given on neatly along with her.  With a bit of luck the bottom will proceed to dry out as she seems in just right shape at house.

Elfride ran respectably bearing in mind she was once out of the weights within the 3 mile handicap hurdle at Chepstow on Saturday.  Leaping neatly for Harry Atkins, she stayed on at one tempo over the past two flights and I’m positive she may also be aggressive when we discover a race with prerequisites extra in her favour.

Preventing Poet (pictured) ran neatly at Southwell on Friday night.  Travelling neatly into the instantly Kaiya Fraser reported he confirmed a just right flip of foot to transport into 2nd position going into the general furlong, handiest to tire rather within the closing hundred yards to complete 5th crushed simply over 5 lengths via the winner.  Kaiya reported that he had bolstered up and progressed since closing season and we look ahead to him giving the Adlestrop Membership some a laugh within the coming months.

City Champion settled higher till the instantly in the only mile handicap, on the other hand Clifford Lee reported that he didn’t really feel he went via together with his effort and we might believe some other occupation for this horny chesnut.

Overjoyed to be a visitor of proprietor Alan Halsall on the Grand Nationwide on Saturday.  There was once an excellent surroundings on the observe and fortunately no fallers and all got here house protected and sound.  A lot has been written concerning the tournament however I consider the adjustments which were made have been vital for the race to proceed.

Even supposing the race is a distinct check it’s nonetheless a check for each thoroughbred and human and neatly performed to the entire jockeys for driving so professionally.  With such a lot of horses in with an opportunity turning for house, I for one discovered it a most fun contest and I Am Maximus was once an excessively worthy winner ridden and educated via males indubitably on the best in their sport.

There can be years when issues don’t cross so easily for the development and we should by no means prevent expressing as a recreation that the welfare of the pony is the concern.
