“This filly is doing a very good job. She looks a treat and is coping with everything we are putting to her. She will have a nice soft gallop on Saturday then have an educational jumpout on Tuesday at Pakenham. It will be for experience, just to get a feel of what it’s like to be in amongst other horses and part of the process in her development.”
