ATHLEET V (Tommy)
Tommy is Bill’s first ‘pink’ horse and unsurprisingly Ursula’s favourite! He is a 7 year old roan gelding owned by Clare Prentice.
Tommy is 16.2hh, by Tenerife VDL. He came from Tim and Antonia Brown and finished 5th at the BYEH 4 year old final in 2009, and 4th in the BYEH 5 Year Old Final 2010.
He is a very talented, extremely athletic cheeky chap who has been known to challenge his jockey’s stickability from time to time – plus he loves to chew anything he can get hold of! He is also extremely gentle and fond of a cuddle so is a great favourite on the yard.
Tommy’s plan in 2012 is to consolidate on the experience he gained in previous seasons and to do some Novices without putting him under pressure so that he continues to have time to develop and mature. He continues to be one to watch.
