The loose schooling continues.........................
I have a race in mind for Hopstrings back at Bangor, she will have an entry anyway in the Mares novice hurdle, she's not run a bad race there so my theory that the track doesn't suit her has to be nonsense. It is 2 mile 4 furlong race so she's a course and distance winner although we all think she wants further. There is a nice handicap for her at Huntingdon over 3 mile 2 furlongs 2 weeks later. I doubt she'll run in both! Max Ward will also have an entry in the bumper at Bangor. It is an Amateur and Conditional jockey bumper. My experience of using claimers is poor, it may come down to the expression of, 2 novices are a bad combination. We'll see anyhow, I am keen to find him good fast ground, I think and pray we'll see a different horse. He hasn't left an oat since he ran and seems to have taken it all very well.
