As Geoff texted me, "From hero to zero", just like that. Poppy decided simply not to front up to race last Thursday whatsoever, stood on her mark while the others stepped, cantered when she finally did move off, and never really got trotting.
Who knows exactly what was going through her funny head?
I know she was rather pissed off after the race, and in fact was on strike for a couple of days. I actually am pretty sure she was in season, and it's not so cool if she's going to do that when she is, fingers crossed it was an aberation.
Brought her straight home and took her straight down to the beach for a run and plenty of stand and trot off practise.
Will stick to that right up until next race day.
On a happier note, I'm almost positive Whinney is ready to qualify, and we are going to keep Jack for the PC season, and Tieryn is riding him. They will be competing at Windemere games next weekend.
So instead Indi and Bramble will be advertised soon.
