We were absolutely thrilled with Faire Part Sivola's debut success for the yard at Ffos Las yesterday. We've done a lot of schooling work with this horse since he joined us this summer and he's had his wind tinkered with, so it's a great thrill to see all the hard work pay off. The drop back in trip was a bit of a gamble but, given the attritional nature of conditions by race time, that stamina for further was very much an asset. Daryl got the horse into a lovely rhythm, his jumping was nice and slick in the main and he could hardly have travelled any stronger. This 6-year-old loves a flat, galloping track so Ffos Las suits him well and there is no reason why this can't be the springboard to bigger and better things. He's a horse with a lot of talent. |
