We are still on Cloud 9 after yesterday, Golden Ace pulled one out of the bag to beat the Irish in the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle. She is un beaten over hurdles and looks an extremely smart prospect for the future, however we are just enjoying the moment.
We have been overwhelmed by the messages of congratulations and will endeavour to get back to each and every one of you. The reception in the paddock was unreal and we thank each and every one of your chanting 'Jezza, Jezza, Jezza'
Lorcan gave her a hugely confident and patient ride, and should accept the plaudits that will be thrown his way! He is a talented jockey who is underused and deserves the opportunity to showcase his talents. It was his second winner after success on Porlock Bay during Covid.
We treated the team to a celebratory breakfast and plan to continue the party this weekend!
Finally, huge congratulations to Golden Ace's purchaser and owner, Mr Ian Gosden who bought her from Tattersalls for only 12,000 GNS!!
Dashel Drasher ran another fantastic race, beating all the English runners and finishing well, fighting all the way!
Importantly, they are both in good order this morning!
