Posh Trish

Paul Nicholls has always maintained that Posh Trish is a star steeplechaser in the making but has delayed her fencing debut because her progress over hurdles has been so marked. She won the Listed Mares' Hurdle at Newbury, making all the running and putting a quality field to the sword. She followed up with a facile victory at Wincanton on Boxing Day, making all and running out a very convincing winner. She won that race without over exerting herself which persuaded Paul Nicholls to send her to Taunton for a listed Mares contest, where once again she dominated and fought off a strong challenge about two furlongs from home after which she pulled clear to finish strongly. She will now have a well deserved break before running at Cheltenham in the Trull House Stud Mares Novice Hurdle.
