Meet Yurituni – Our horse in training for 2012
We are delighted that we will have a club horse for the 2012 Flat Season. Yurituni has been kindly loaned to us by Mrs R F Johnson Houghton and will be trained by Eve Johnson Houghton and her team at their historic yard in Blewbury.
Yurituni is a 5 year old mare (girl) by Bahamian Bounty (Dad) out of Vax Star (Mum) and has won and been placed each season since starting her racing career. She general runs over 6 furlongs so expect her races to be quick and exciting.
