OWUP War6

Overworkdunderpaid continues the winning run

QUOTES: OVERWORKDUNDERPAID got there too soon last time, but needed something to aim at today. Callum gave him a peach and he’s in at Musselburgh on Sunday and Market Rasen next week and the plan would be to get him out again provided he’s okay – Laura Morgan, trainer.

OVERWORKDUNDERPAID was given a patient hold-up ride. Although a mistake down the back straight halted momentum briefly, he managed to gather stride well and kept on strongly inside the final furlong. Transformed by a new stable and being fitted with a visor, he's gone from strength to strength so would have every chance of winning again on a more galloping track.

Jaif Ayr 6

Victory for J’Ai Froid at Ayr

On only his second outing for the Laura Morgan yard, J’Ai Froid ran out the convincing winner under a positive Max Kendrick ride at Ayr today.

J'AI FROID, now fitted with a visor, had clearly come on for his reappearance after missing the whole of last season. He relished conditions and ran right away from the field, winning with any amount in hand. He's a thorough stayer and this was a game effort but he will find life tougher when reassessed so a switch to fences could be on the horizon.

Tardree Sedge 2

Tardree keeps the winners coming

A gutsy performance by Tardree saw this former Irish Point to Point Winner getting off the mark in England by a head in a close contest. The third winner in a wekk for the stable !

TARDREE proved game when headed down the home straight and the rising finish played into his hands. He bumped into one over C&D on his rules debut last month and, not surprisingly being an Irish point winner, ought to enjoy going up in trip once hurdling.

AAO Cat 1

Against All Odds wins on Hurdles Debut

Promising 5yo Against All Odds made a gutsy winning hurdles debut at Catterick Park this afternoon under a determined ride from Ben Jones. The yard continues to be in top form !

A fair novice hurdle. AGAINST ALL ODDS showed promising ability in her two bumper starts at Perth earlier in the year and was popular in the betting markets here on her hurdling debut. The 5yo showed a smashing attitude in this first career success and has the potential to continue progressing over hurdles and fences.

Goldfields Fak 1

Gold Fields of the mark at Fakenham

Gold Fields got off the mark over fences at Fakenham today with a fine display of jumping to win impressively by 18 lengths. Still only a 6 year old he is now fulfilling the promise he has shown at home and hopefully there will be more to come..

GOLD FIELDS bounded clear from the second-last and recorded a first win under rules at the 14th time of asking. Rated as high as 88 over hurdles in the past, but without a place in any of 13 starts beforehand, this sudden improvement in form is difficult to fathom. He jumped well and travelled strongly throughout though, and will likely be in for a hefty hike in the weights once the handicapper has his say.

Big Pen Ling 3

Big Penny wins again

Big Penny wins going away despite a 6lbs rise in the handicap. She is in good form and clearly relishes the soft ground.

BIG PENNY came through under a well-timed ride and was well on top at the business end. She was up 6lb for winning at Perth last month and this deeper surface was no bother, so current connections obviously have her in tip-top form

BP Perth 3

Big Penny Victorious at Perth

Big Penny has been knocking on the door since joining the yard and got of the mark in good style today at Perth, given a top ride by Adam Wedge, who first won in these colours on Picky at Towcester back in October 2008 !

BIG PENNY collected her first win since October 2017. She'd run to RPRs better than her official mark the last twice, so she was in enough form to take advantage of any good opportunity that presented itself like this one.
