Mrs Grimley
2018 - Australia - Yakshini
In training - Ben Pauling
Purchased at Cheltenham Sales in April from Jessie Harrington after running in 3 bumpers. She was clearly highly thought of as she first ran in a Grade 2 Bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival first time out before being unfortunate not to get off the mark on her second start, being short of room and stumbling over 2 furlongs out and only getting beaten just over a length. On her last run in Ireland she was again unfortunate not to get off the mark when possibly given too much to do but still ran well to be second.
Ben Pauling loved her at the sales so we bought her and she went straight back to his yard to see what he made of her. They loved her and found her to be very straight forward and honest, so we decided to run her before giving her a summer break.
She went to Southwell in May just over a month from buying her and she won very nicely by 4 lengths going away after meeting a bit of traffic in the home straight.
She has now had her summer break and is back in training at Ben Pauling's fantastic new yard and we are very excited for her novice hurdle campaign this season.
