Greensward wins again at Wolverhampton

Greensward won his second race in eight days and at the same track, Wolverhampton, last night. Greenie's style of racing coming from behind was not helped by his number one draw position. However, Shane Kelly rode an intelligent ride by waiting in behind and then bringing Greenie round horses on the final bend. It looked at that stage as though he was booked for second position but with the leader floundering on the rail Shane managed to get his head in front where it mattered, on the line!
We were thrilled with the way that Greenie stuck to the task all the way to the line and we will look for another race for him in 2 to 3 weeks time. The photo shows his owners, Bill and Christine Rogerson, Robert Cooper, Paul Arlotte,  Linda Watts, Alan East,and his groom, Lois.

Daneglow 3rd at Wolverhampton

Daneglow ran her best race to date to be 3rd at Wolverhampton this evening. She was drawn out wide but managed to get to the front but the early exertions cost her. However, she stayed on to be third.

Greensward a winner

Greensward finally got his head in front and won for the Furlong friends this evening at Wolverhampton. He was given a very good ride by his jockey, Shane Kelly, who held him at the back and made his efforts on the bend and down the straight. We hope this will have built his confidence and he can go on from here.

Greensward 4th at Kempton

Greensward ran a fine race at Kempton this evening. He was drawn out wide,in stall 11, which didn't help his cause. Also, there was not enough pace in the race. However, despite these handicaps he ran on strongly down the straight and managed to get 4th position just before the line. We were pleased with his run and he will come back here for his next race.
