Dutchess qualifies at Addinton


Km rate of 1.22.3 over 2600m - which was what Snowball did while pulling badly and on one rein on a windy day at Chateaubriant in finishing 7th. Twilight earlier had indicated she prefers to gallop when with other horses (as opposed to trotting very well in warm-ups), which is not very useful for a racehorse!

Snowball and Twilight

Snowball just beaten for third at Cordemais; would have won if could have been driven out instead of being on one rein says MH. Right-handed now (Chateaubriant 23rd)

Twilight gets the new spreader 15 minutes before the race at Graignes; it did its job but she didn't. Also right-handed now (Chateaubriant 23rd)
