Post Filly Triple Crown Winner
Hi all, I have just won the UK Fillies Triple Crown for the first time (infact my first triple crown from any country) and thought I would share with you.

Her name is combined from the horses which bred her, the Stallion: Tee El Cee(AI Computer Horse) who was a 1m4f Dubai Sheema Classic winner and Molly Brown (Bred from my stable) an Irish Guineas, 1m2f Prix de Diane, Prix de l'Opera and 1 mile Kyoto Championship winner.

So here she is, Molly Tee El Cee (not my most favourite name and it had to be her ! Oh well )

Below are the three races

Not the best of times at Newmarket, but consideration has to be noted that it was the first time she had ran 1m ; Jockey was L.Dettori.

Image
First attempt at 1m4f and I was delighted with her performance; Jockey was L.Dettori.

Lost for words with this performance. I really didn't think that she had the stamina for such a race, however a perfect ride from Kieren Fallon secured a memorable race and put a massive grin on my face :P


With this success I need to decide whether to put her into stud or to see what she can do next year.

Well done mate :D it also put a "why didn't I ride this horse again" sort of look on L Dettori's face :)

Well unfortuanely L.Dettori isn't retained by me, I have De Sousa. L.Dettori was down to ride for me as per normal however he must of been taken away from me after booking him. When I offered De Sousa he refused to ride because he wanted 7 days notice ! His loss :)
