LESSAY

  An exciting horse to add to our all weather team for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025 with the ARC finals days firmly in our sights.

Deemed good enough to contest a listed race for the Balding team just seven months ago, he found himself trapped on the rail right throughout the race and that was a disadvantaged track position at that meeting, like most in recent times at the course.

Taking out that Listed race, his all weather form reads 1222 with the latest of those seconds coming in a competitive Kempton handicap, behind Devoirs Choice who notched up a hat trick that day and was bought back by his connections for 185,000gns just this week.

We looked the winner that day, we travelled stylishly into the race at the two furlong pole and briefly hit the front approaching the furlong pole before the winner found another gear in the closing stages.

We were comfortably the second best horse in the fourteen runner field and we are sure we’ll be winning soon off our mark and we should bring about some further improvement with a switch of tracks which is exciting given the racing does get a little easier throughout the winter.
