Amazonica

Trained by Owen Burrows

"Amazonica put in a lovely performance on debut when beating a Godolphin horse who, like all his opponents, had the big advantage of a previous run. He enjoyed the quicker ground and looked classy" Noel Fehily

As a 2-y-o Amazonica was impressing in his work but was then troubled by low grade lameness behind which prevented him getting to the track.   This may have been a blessing in disguise as he was slightly immature so the extra time has done him good.
 
Thankfully his work this year had been just as promising so it was no great surprise when he won on debut over 10 furlongs at Leicester on July 14th under a good David Probert ride.  
 
Amazonica showed a terrific attitude as he was twice bumped badly but still quickened in the style of a very promising horse.  There should be more to come in the second half of the season.
