The staff really took to the foal, who they named 'Benny'. He's out in the field now, growing, and later this year he will come in for pre-training. After her foal was weaned One For The Ladies looked in great shape and we decided to give her a second career on the track, a move that has turned out well. It's unusual, but not unknown, for mares to return to racing after having a foal. Or three, as was the case with a mare we trained called Catherine's Well. Catherine's Well won seven races and was retired to the paddocks where she had three foals. Returning to the racecourse after her maternity break, she won a further seven races before going back to broodmare duties. She went on to have five more foals, of which four were winners. Amongst the foals were William's Well, who won nine races and like his dam won the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon. She was also the dam of Elvington Boy (4 wins), Emperor's Well (7) and Uhuru Peak (4). |

As for One For The Ladies, we all hope that Benny turns out to be a winner like his mum! |
