WHISPERED KISS 2nd at Wolverhampton
Whispered Kiss came 2nd on the 3rd May, beaten a short head by Carribean Spring. "Willow", as she is known in the yard, ran a great race at Wolverhampton and looked the winner 2f from home but was collared on the line by Carribean Spring. The winner outstayed us up the stright as she is more a 10f horse while the Willow only just gets the mile and didn't quite see out the trip which was 8.5f.
It was an apprentice race and Rossa Ryan, who rode our filly, felt he would have won had he kicked for home a stride sooner. He looks destined for a good careeer as a jockey as he was quick to acknoweldege he may have cost the race. It was quite refreshing to hear his comments as some jockeys are quick to blame everything and everybody apart from themselves!!
While very disappointed not to win the race the filly ran very well although it did ruin our plan to go for the hat-trick at Nottingham 9 days later.
The filly has come out of the race well and we look forward to her running again, altjhough the handicapper put her up 5lbs, inhibiting her chances of further success.
