Rio Ronaldo SCORES at Windsor
Forgive the tabloidesque headline but we were thrilled with the win of Rio Ronaldo at Windsor yesterday. Given an excellent ride by Ryan Moore, who settled Ronaldo towards the rear of the field, the horse picked up well at the furlong pole and won by one and a quarter lengths.
Ronaldo is a tall leggy individual who is a nice horse in the making and we have brought him along steadily. His win as a 2yo was a bonus given his size and we hope he can develop into a useful 6f horse this year.
The photos below show Ronaldo and connections.
Hugo, is regular rider, leading him around the Parade Ring:
