Lady Of Clover runs at Yarmouth today attempting to back up her win last time.

She runs with a penalty after winning last week and she’s gone up 4lbs since her win to a mark of 53, so this is a last chance to race at this 0-50 level before she has to go back up in grade.

🤞🤞

@nickluck @LydiaHislop This highlights the lack of big screens at Epsom on Saturday.
We took this from the Grandstand enclosure where we couldn’t really see a screen.
Lots of people around us were disappointed and complaining as well.
@EpsomRacecourse really need to do better next year.

What a day cheering home @coolmorestud Christmas Day yesterday.

We have his dam’s half sister, Torshi, so her nephew is now a Derby winner! 👑 🏆 🥇

She has a @JuddmonteFarms Bated Breath colt yearling and is in foal to @Tweenhills King Of Change.

What a brilliant evening the lovely people we are lucky to know and have horses for have had! Lady of clover romps home for @Felloship_synd brilliant result well done all!

@RCFarquhar @Fellowship_synd Thanks Richard! 😊

[Fellowship Racing 🐎 @Fellowship_synd]

Lady Of Clover returns to Wolves this evening.

She has been slightly unlucky in her last couple of races but has showed steady improvement and we hope she can take a step forward today 🤞

The Derby fav recorded the longest av. stride length of the field in every furlong - peaking at an av. of 26.87ft in the 9th.

He also recorded the slowest stride freq in every furlong - as low as 2.00 strides per second in the 5th and peaking at 2.21 in the 10th.

@RCFarquhar @EpsomRacecourse This is a great piece by @RowleyfileRRR highlighting the optimal stride profile for a Derby horse from when Too Darn Hot was being considered.

@Luca_CCarr Sadly the stewards report says he bled

[Tom Morton @tmorton93]

Another exciting day on the breeding front, with Torshi scanned in foal to a colt by @Tweenhills King Of Change.

Whilst, @coolmorestud’s Christmas Day, her G3 Ballysax winning nephew, is reported to be heading to the Dante. 🤞

[Charlock Stud-Graham&Carla @CharlockStud]

Cool day scanning today….a mare sex scanned carrying a colt by @Tweenhills king of change and Warsash’s last scan pre October 1st 42 days infoal to @WhitsburyManor elite status…..keep them safe ladies 🫶

Lady Of Clover runs at Yarmouth today.

She got a bit unlucky in the stalls last time out and missed the break.

We are hoping she can bounce back onto the upward trajectory she was showing before 🤞

@GScottracing

[Tom Morton @tmorton93]

It’s very exciting to have Torshi, a half-sister to Beauly, the dam of one of the current Derby favourites, Christmas Day.

Torshi’s yearling colt by @JuddmonteFarms Bated Breath will go to the sales later this year.

She is currently in foal to @Tweenhills King Of Change.

[Charlock Stud-Graham&Carla @CharlockStud]

Fab win for ‘Christmas day’ adding a lovely update under 2nd dam of @tmorton93 mare Torshi, Torshis @JuddmonteFarms bated breath yearling will be up for sale later this year 👌⭐️🥂

🍀 Lady Of Clover runs today at Southwell. She’s progressed from run to run and we hope she can continue on that trajectory. 🤞

[Tom Morton @tmorton93]

@TomWilsonHorses Re Publish: strides like a 10f horse, Dam late maturing & G1 placed over 10f & he seems a bigger scopier physical
Tying together indicates to me that he’ll probably be better over further
He’ll probably need a strongly run Guineas that tests stamina over late acceleration & speed

[Tom Morton @tmorton93]

@TomWilsonHorses Thanks both, an intersting watch.

Did you use max stride frequency or average stride frequency on the x-axis of your chart?

Not sure what you think but I think most of the research done on predicting optimum race distance from stride data uses max frequency.
