 The Brocklesby, finally!
I won the Brocklesby! I've started a flat game and have been rushing through the seasons to get my breeding going. This is one of my creations. I usually have 4/5 runners in the race but have never won it. At last! In comparison to some other times of the race it's a pretty good time too.
This is the third horse out of Adapt who I got in my first season. She won 4 G1's for me. So pleased she has given me some great horses to get the breeding programme properly underway!

Well done, from my experiences it is a really hard race to win. You can enter your best horses but it is still tricky.

I find that if you run a gallop at the beginning of the season, then the horse that wins the gallop will usually have the ability to win the Brocklesby.

That's what I always do, but until now it's never given me the result. Although I did have the second last season.

I've only won the race once, and that was with a homebred who ended up completing the Guiness double the following year.
I find that most of my homebreds prefer firmish ground, and 9/10 at Doncaster in April its good to soft at the very best.
Still doesn't stop me from blindly trying to win the thing though!!
