Free As A Lark – Lingfield July 14th
C’s last big purchase for the stud, was a mare by Saddler’s Wells called Regal Magic. She was carrying, a foal by Oratorio. That foal is now called Free As A Lark and she runs today at Lingfield in the 15:30.
The comment in the Racing Post by her name is “Shown ability but more needed to make it third time lucky”. That’s probably true! It might just have been her race at Yarmouth.
There are various things to take into account.
- She will need some rain and hopefully, it rained at Lingfield last night.
- She will be coming downhill, round a bend and hasn’t done that before.
- There are a couple of very well-bred horses in the race, who are trained by the top rank.
- There are some dodgy horses in the race, who could win or do nothing at all.
So here’s hoping. If you have SKY, you can watch it on At The Races. That’s the free channel. Why do we have two racing channels, one of which has to be paid for?

She didn’t run down the hill too well and the front three, got away. The jockey, Alan Munro, and the trainer, Chris Wall, were pleased. As was I! She now has a handicap mark and this will enable her to get in more races easier.
Here’s to the next time!
