Another day out with LBG, this time at Uttoxeter!

LBG headed to Uttoxeter for his third run for the club. He lined up in the final race on the card - a handicap hurdle over 2m4f, for which Ben Smith took the ride. The plan was to sit him in the midfield and creep closer as the race progressed. He jumped the first hurdle a bit too big so he lost his initial position, but stayed on really well to finish 4th, only just losing out on 3rd by a length. Ben pointed towards definitely going up in trip to 3 miles, saying he doesn’t have a turn of foot and just gallops. He said the ground was fine and that he jumped well - all very encouraging!

It was great to give members another opportunity to have access to owners passes. We all had a lovely Christmas lunch and chatted all things racing throughout the day. A great way to spend a Friday just before Christmas. LBG is back home and getting ready for his next run in the new year!
