SMOKIN DRAGON BREATHING FIRE!

SMOKIN DRAGON, shown winning below at Ascot last Saturday is one of those cases where the animal never ceases to amaze me. There is no doubt that the horses possesses well above average ability, which prompted me to declare him a Railway Stakes candidate as a 3yo. Unfortunately the horse went amiss in pre-training during his next preparation and was off the scene for some eighteen months. Even today I hesitate to look at his legs every day expecting to see a recurrence of the old injury which would more than likely spell the end to his career. The horse is such a magnificent type and has a genuine will to win so we are keeping all our fingers crossed that he can stay sound for a lot longer.



JASON WHITING expains to myself and part owner Steve Yovich, how easy the win was and how he was confident of victory a long way from home.
