RED YARN - a 5 year old by LUCKY STORY

RED YARN is a five year old home bred mare by sensational miler LUCKY STORY. Her dam is our successful mare AUNT RUBY who has only bred winners so far including SOUTH CAPE, RUBILINI, RELATIVE ORDER and EYE FOR THE GIRLS. RED YARN had an excellent place record as a two year old but got off the mark with a fabulous win at Lingfield in July 2010. She followed up with a very good third at Salisbury in a higher grade race.

We had high expectations for RED YARN in 2011, and there were a couple of placed efforts but overall her season has not gone like we would have hoped. At the beginning of November 2011 she moved yards to the stables of our newest trainer Joe Tuite, who did such a great job this season with our other quirky filly INTERAKT. We expect RED YARN to thrive in a smaller yard, and Joe already plans to take this fillly out hunting to fire her up before returning to racing in January.

RED YARN is a well bred, talented and extremely attractive mare, and we have no doubt that Joe will have her back in the winners enclosure before long!

At a stable visit on 10th December 2011 at Joe Tuite's yard owners were able to see how well RED YARN (centre) has settled in at her new home. She looked fantastic and Joe is looking forward to running her on the all weather in January. What a pretty girl she is! Photos taken by owner Helen Leatham, thank you. 

31 July 2010
Lingfield Park
Jockey - George Baker

RED YARN had been "knocking on the door" for some time and had been very unlucky not to have won earlier in the year. This time she was given a very firm ride by George Baker and having been headed with a furlong to go she battled back to win cosily. 
This race was over 7 furlongs and Gary Moore believes she is better over a mile.

WE SHOULD HAVE WON!

RED YARN suffered serious interference at Kempton - we think she would have won with a clearer run! See what you think by watching the race opposite.

RED YARN was 6th first time out, then 3rd and now 2nd twice.
First time out in 2010, RED YARN was just beaten
when a fast finishing 2nd at Lingfield Park & Kempton Park.

She went on to win at Lingfield and run an excellent third at Salisbury.

This superb looking filly by LUCKY STORY is out of our own mare AUNT RUBY and a half brother to SOUTH CAPE (top-rated 100) and RELATIVE ORDER (UK top-rated 99, now running in Group races in Hong Kong.) 

Not only does RED YARN have interesting breeding, but as the right-hand picture shows she is an exceptionally powerful filly who has a great presence about her. She also looks a lot like her sire (pictured at the bottom of this page)

LUCKY STORY has enjoyed two good first seasons with 42 winners to date, including ART CONNOISSEUR who won the   GROUP 1 Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot in 2009 and the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot,Gr.2 in 2008.
