The Signal Centre.
I took Lucky for a gallop at the Signal Centre. It was nearly all positives. He ran about quite well and didn’t baulk at the wet places. He has a better gait and action than either Chris, his sire or Roxy his mother and probably the best points from both. At first I thought he wasn’t using his nose but then he found some spraint, probably some sort of water fowl. Then just to show me that the whole package is bolted together properly he put up a lark of some description and the acceleration and ability to turn at pace is very fluent and he can put all of his considerable power into his effortless running. The one slight negative is that he is nearly too cocky. He doesn’t need to come back so he doesn’t, until it suits him. I’m not making an issue of it at the moment. I did drop him a couple of times but not in any sort of pressure situation. There’ll be a time for that and it isn’t now.
