I have a colt and a filly Workrider and I guess they are the way around that I would have chosen should one have to have the fairer sex. I have a mare that I would like a filly from - providing it is nice enough to keep - so am expecting a colt there and I guess one more filly from the remaining mare is on the cards too. All healthy to date though so can’t complain ( but will do, obvs)!

The lkatest discussion about mares in jump racing does make the old preference for a colt more questionable. Obviously a colt that could get to Group class is worth big money but otherwise fillies and mares are getting more an more races confined to them and the standard of many mares only Listed races is desperately low. Apart from a few classics, almost all races are open to fillies and mares but colts and geldings are barred from more than 10% of races. Two more at Musselburgh today.
