Gidge
Trained by Fergal O’Brien
FORM – OR –
” A cracking mare who I've always loved. She got touched off for 3rd place at Huntingdon missing out on 'Black Type' which was frustrating but there is improvement to come. She'll make a lovely hurdler and long term chaser."
We’re delighted to have added Gidge to our team of horses. This half sister to dual Grade One staying hurdle winner Crambo showed plenty of ability in bumpers particularly when just missing out on ‘Black Type’ at Huntingdon.
Now aged 6 she’s desperate to see a hurdle, will stay very well and Fergal is confident Gidge will in time jump a fence as she possesses loads of scope. She could be quite exciting in the mares novice division. We feel being a big mare she has been purchased at the right time.
