Mr. Individual Wins on Debut
CONGRATULATIONS
Well days like today are very satisfying on many fronts ,but it was more relief today for both Leon and myself .When these good horses come along there is quite big expectations ,when they trial and work like good horses sometimes they don’t bring that race day, well we were excited to see that effort today by Mr Individual.
Ollie didn’t panic when he got back further that we planned ,but his turn of foot from the 600 to the 400 put the race beyond doubt which was fantastic to see. Ollie said the win was better than it looked as he hit the lead to far from home, thus was his good turn of foot and he sort of got lost in front ,but when he saw the 2nd horse he surged again to hold him at bay.
Leon was so nervous as he had labelled this colt from day 1 and to see all the extra effort/time put in by all the staff ,these days are very rewarding .Leon said he will head to the paddock for 2-3 weeks freshen up now in preparation for a Caulfield Guineas prep in the spring. It would be a dream come true if we could even get him there and fingers crossed everything goes to plan from her to the big race…
