STREET ART - A WINNER at Chelmsford

Street Art finally managed to get his head in front at Chelmsford under a fine ride from Hollie Doyle. Street art had been unlucky on a couple of occasions this year when leading and getting mowed down close to home. However, tonight he was once again sent to the front but this time he managed to hold on despite the advances of the second in the final 50 yards.
Hollie deserves a special mention as a horse was slow away but she managed to get him to the front without using up too much petrol. He looked the winner 2 furlongs out but then got a bit tired in the final furlong but held on gamely.
It was a low-grade handicap but it was a thrill to get our first winner on the board for the 2017 year.

LILY ASH - 2nd at Chelmsford

Lily Irish ran very gamely at Chelmsford yesterday evening to record a second position spot. Kicked out of the gates from the start by jockey, Shane Kelly, she grabbed the lead and put her head down and galloped. However, she was no match for the winner but run on gamely up the straight and just held on for second spot.
This was her second run back after a break last year and hopefully she can progress and make up for time lost.
