HEY CRACKERS!

Hey Crackers (Harry)

09.12.24 – Newcastle. 1m – 9/12. btn: 10½L J: Faye McManoman

From the draw of one, Crackers jumped in fine time with the rest of them, as the gates opened. As he was drawn on the outside of the pack, he slightly edged away to his left, but soon got recovered and was travelling strongly along with the field. Throughout the first furlong, we were nicely able to slot in mid division, travelling comfortably, gaining experience then throughout the middle distance of the race. 2 furlongs out as the leaders started to quicken, Crackers seemed as if he was going to get caught a little outpaced, but took up the challenge and battled on well. He was slightly headed by two rivals upsides them, but he was ridden well to the line and regained some ground, finishing stronger than them, passing them again, staying on well to the line. His education is progressing nicely, and he shows no concerns with the work he is doing. We can see clear progress in his racing manner, and will be looking forward to the same improvement again, next time out. A pleasing run to end one year, showing plenty of potential, and possibilities of going further in trip, for the New Year ahead! Keep an eye on him!

Very Classy joined us at the end of November. She will be given a little time to settle in and get used to her new surroundings and routine.

As we round off a quieter year of racing, we have plenty to look forward to for the New Year ahead. With a pleasing performance from HeyCrackers, last time out, we see we have an enjoyable year to look forward to. He is a very happy and handsome young man to work with! Our new team member, the lightly raced filly VeryClassy, will be a nice project to work with for some ‘Very Classy’ racing, all being well! After time well spent with BigMuddy, for a full recovery, we have chosen to let him move on and enjoy a long and happy retirement from racing. He will certainly be missed around the yard, and he will be a hard character to fill, but he is so genuine and respectful of anything we ask, he deserves to go and share his special charm with a loving family home, without the intense work of racing. AdVitam continues to keep an eye on things as he works so well with his supervising role. We can be hopeful to get some similar adventures, days out, and exciting experiences with our up and coming team, as we have previously had with him! The hard work has continued through 2024 with the aim of getting bigger and better in 2025 for us all!

Thank you for your continued time and support and good luck for the season ahead!
