Peppermint Lil

I’m Lily, pleased to meet you. Now comfortable with a saddle on my back and about to start life as a racehorse.

Waiting for my bus home from the Rotorua races!

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Was back at the races today. Had a go at leading and it went well apart from getting pretty buggered near the end. Stepping up in distance soon. https://t.co/KMmDWz715i

Really enjoyed stretching my legs @MatamataRacing yesterday.

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Back for a new prep #feelinggood

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Enjoying a wee break out at Kendayla Park. Some interesting Waikato spring weather and gooood grass. Back to training next week

[Brighthill Farm @brighthillfarm]

😏🤩 This is very exciting for all the connections of the farm and everyone that worked with Preferment. Congratulations to the great ownership group and also @cwallerracing for such a amazing weekend! Cannot wait to see what Smirk can produce in the autumn 🏆

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Yes I’m very proud of him Pete. It’s been quite a journey for him, but he has a new trainer and won so well. Hopefully it’s not his last. https://t.co/1LzXTBxJ5M

@IAmLilyTheFilly @HKJC_Racing Hey Lily, I see your bro won easily at Happy Valley on Wednesday after leading all the way. Your turn next young lady. https://t.co/mAAV3w8y00

Another nice #Preferment triallist today

[Fionnuala Timoney @calvadosbloodst]

Smirk = one to follow.

The 3yo half-sister to Tavisocks is by @brighthillfarm's Preferment and looks a bright prospect for the @cwallerracing stable who race her in partnership with @francismystery, @PeachesterL & @LKepitis. Tavisocks visits @TwinHillsStud's Peltzer this spring.

My older bro had his first outing for the new @HKJC_Racing season winning his trial at Conghua. https://t.co/GohX6oUmVB

Back home after my race today. Grass. Play. Dinner. Life’s good

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Had my second race today. Enjoyed running on grass. Geez, Taupo is a lovely place. Enjoyed the view coming down the straight, must concentrate better. Here’s the replay.

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

My first race track day; ready for action. What a cracking spring day

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Big day for me today. My first proper race. Was on my best behaviour, but with a wide draw, things we’re against me. Here’s me excited to get into it.

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Name update. I couldn’t have Risha, so I will now race as PEPPERMINT LIL.

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Ooh, exciting news. My racing name is gonna be Risha. I like Lily, but the name Risha does sound fast to me🐎🏆

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

I do love a play in the sand

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Had another day out @TeRapaRacing trials yesterday. Bit puffed at the end, but enjoyed the run despite the mud on my face and hooves. Thanks @laurenbrennan76 and Wiremu. https://t.co/7EPZsQTKj1

[Peppermint Lil @IAmLilyTheFilly]

Flicking thru my Twitter feed this morning before trackwork, I see the Rhino is off to rampage thru Victoria. He and Cheerful Moment are the two lads that wooped me in my first trial, and will both be racing the spring in Oz. Good luck lads

[Em Browne @Emspartaracing]

And they are off! Elephant, Rhinoceros and Bifrost all on route to Melbourne! #goodluckboys #flyinghorses #australianracing #Melbourne #tryhardrunfast
