Crossley Tender Goes up to Newcastle

24/2/2021

0 Comments

 
George rode Crossley Tender today for his final piece of fast work before the Eider Chase, he worked with Lisronagh Stone, who is a strong worker, and Our Nest Egg who can also work well. The  horses normally go individually at about 28 miles an hour to the three Furlong marker then join each other and go strong from the three Furlong marker, they normally drop off a speed of around 38 mph by the five furlong but today because three were working together they were slightly steadier at the 3 to the 4 furlongs  but continued to build in speed and were strong up until the 6 furlong marker. All three riders were pleased with the way the horses went . George felt it was a strong piece of work and they got progressively faster and  Crossley took some pulling up at the end of the gallop.     George is my most experienced rider but doesn’t ride Crossley very often but mentioned that Natasha had done a good job in riding him over the last couple of months as he was so much more settled since the last time she sat on him.

Richard Johnson takes the ride on Crossley Tender at Ascot to Finnish 3rdin the Matchbook Best Odds Handicap Chase.
Once again Crossley put in a great performance althought he did make a couple of slight 
errors, Richard felt the track was plenty fast enough and so just put his jumping under a bit of pressure.

Crossley wins again at Exeter. He continues his amazing run of form by taking the MansionBet Bet 10 Get 20 Handicap Chase.
Riden by Tom O'brien.
This was another great performance by Tom and Crossley, with a mile to go Tom was pretty much sat out the back, 1/2 a mile later Toms sat benind the leaders just waiting, as often with Tom you think "how did he get there" with no effort from Tom, he's sat waiting, a good jump at the last comfirms their dominance winning by 6 1/2 lengths.

Doitforthevillage started the New Year with a bang, winning at Sandown Park only a day after turning 12 years old. Tom O'brien rode Doit to his first win in just over two years, aided by a combination of favourable conditions, further trip and excellent performance.

Nick Schofield came in to ride out yesterday. It was part of his road to recovery from breaking his leg at Fontwell seven weeks ago - a couple of races after winning on Crossley Tender.
It'll be another couple of weeks before he's fit to race ride, but it was great to see him back in the saddle and we wish him a full recovery!

The yard's veteran Un Beau Roman showed a great front-running performance at Plumpton today. He seemed to be rejuvinated with the application of the blinkers. Nick Schofield gave him a positive ride from the flag to the post making it two in a row for the yard!
