Chapter And Verse 4th in a Listed Race
Hyde Stakes on Saturday. He was beaten less than 2 lengths and
although he ran well we feel he might have been closer if he could
have got first run on the turn for home at the 3 furlong marker. It
looks as though his handicap mark will go to 100 now making him our
highest rated horse in the yard. This mark is some 20lbs above the 80
level he was on when we bought him at last year's HIT sale.
He is a credit to the hard working team on the yard. He shall have a
break now and will come back for a turf campaign next year.
The photo shows his "lad", Michelle, who rides him out every day and
gives him lots of TLC! Also in the photo are Denise (Mrs Murphy),
David Ellis (owner) and Jerry (the "brains") who has had great faith
in this horse from the beginning.
