Orbys River goes again at Rasen this afternoon. She was hiked 10lb for the win so we're running with a 7lb penalty today. She seems ok after the Ayr efforts but the ocean of 0-100 novice handicaps is full of sharks and it's a competitive enough race.

Ran a super race never nearer than at the finish. More to come by the looks of it.

The track and ground were probably a bit quick for her but she was clear second best to a well handicapped horse. A short break and then back for more towards the end of February.

A summary for NH season 24/25.

Rehill Relic - Form 0534721 - 7 runs, 1 win - Prize-money £7498.
Started the season rated 100, low point 94, finished at 100.
Probably a little immature and prone to ulcers but concentration helped by cheek-pieces and a deserved victory to end the season. Will go chasing next season.

Orbys River - Form 6p12715 - 7 runs, 2 wins - Prize-money £12441.
Started the season rated 75, low point 74, finished at 88.
Fences, and a dietary change, made all the difference. We are learning what conditions she needs and will have a more ordered campaign next season.

Anyone who has had ownership interest will know how competitive it is in the 0-100 division so 3 wins and nearly £20k in prize-money represents a decent return.

Of the others, Mountain Lake picked up an injury and has gone to a good home.

Coningbeg recently had her filly foal by Dartmouth.. Just 2 weeks old but so far showing all the right signs so fingers crossed for the next few months.

Kemboy is thriving in his retraining. He made guest appearances in the RoR parades at Cheltenham and Aintree and recently had a day out at Carlisle races in the same role.

Missed this pre-race - but great to hear you have another 'to go to war with' ;).

Looked like a cracking run - how exciting ahead of next season.
 
Fantastic @Bayoffreedom

He was one on my list to stick up, I guess the cat is out the bag now so no need for me to bother with that :ROFLMAO:

Onwards and upwards for CC 🙌
