A Very Impressive Debut Winner!
Reflecting on the Day
What a thrill it was to see Rochfortbridge break his maiden at 28/1! Heading to Ayr, we quietly believed in his talent, but to see him produce a finish like that… absolutely special.
Connor rode a confident, patient race—keeping him close, and then letting him stride on from over 1f out. He dug in when Thesecretadversary, the odds-on favourite, came back at him. To see him hold firm by three-quarters of a length is a credit to both the horse and the ride.
Race Breakdown
Ground & Time: Good‑to‑Soft, completed in 1m 33.12s — solid given the slow ground conditions.
Top Speed Of 40.34MPH Again Impressive given conditions over 7f.
Trainer Notes Post-Race
Attitude & Brain: He’s shown a lot of intelligence at home— his work has been consistent, and today it translated beautifully.
Pedigree Promise: By the all conquering Mehmas, out of Annual (a Noble Mission mare), he promised stamina and a bit of toughness, which is just what he showed. He’s also from a top farm in Tally-Ho
Path Ahead: We’ll look to step up in grade in good time, a TFR of 93 suggests he’s no mug, anyway!
