Jilaijone Winner at Uttoxeter

Our only runners of the week were on Saturday and it was brilliant to get an across the card double with Belfrina and Jilaijone.  Belfrina made it third time lucky at Doncaster on Saturday to win a listed mares hurdle and get some valuable black type in the process.  She was unlucky in her previous race at the course, falling at the final hurdle when looking likely to win.  It was actually the same two fillies locking horns again from two out this time around it was more of a battle this time, but our filly showed a great attitude to knuckle down and win going away close to the line.  That was only the fifth run of her life, third over hurdles and she is improving every time.  She has a good engine and the heart to match and there is plenty more to come.  Read more...
