Safari Team – Our Horse in training 2011
In celebration of our 300th birthday we had a club horse in training during the 2011 flat season. Safari Team was kindly loaned to us by the trainer Peter Winkworth and we had tremendous fun meeting him and following his progress.
We had three yard trips to meet the trainer and horse and learn all about what is involved in the training process and four exciting trips to the races.
Our first run at Kempton Park in June saw Safari Team finishing 4th against stiff competition and showed that he might need to run over a slightly longer distance. We then had a couple of out of form runs before winning in great style at Lingfield Park on 6 September, he certainly saved the best for last
