00:00 any yard, whatever size it is, having a top class horse is a great boost for the yard,
00:05 for the people who work in the yard, for the owners in the yard. You know, it is, it's
00:10 very important if you can get a top class horse. These top horses have a following,
00:15 you know, people latch on to your top class steeplechase, or your top class hurdler, your
00:19 top class flat horse. So I do think she has a following, yeah. In the King's Stancher
00:24 and the Mighty Race, and then we left her down there to see how she was, and typical
00:29 of her, she seemed absolutely fine. Eight up, and she did lead out the next day, then
00:33 she had a little canter on the Thursday, and then a lead out on the Friday. And as she
00:38 ran a Mighty Race in the Platinum Jubilee, we thought we were at the right side, but
00:43 as we thought the pace would be stand side, but the race evolved over there. So she was
00:49 left on her own a bit, and she was in front a long way out, but still ran a Mighty Race.
00:54 We were thrilled with her really, to be placed in two group ones in four days. Last year
00:58 we gave her a mid-season break, which she did seem to enjoy, and we've done the same
01:03 this year, but we thought instead of going to the Pre-Morris De Geest at Deauville, we
01:08 would go to Goodwood. It's a very unique track, and she wheeled around there. We were a bit
01:14 concerned with would she handle the track, but typical of her, she wheeled around and
01:19 ran a Mighty Race. I think Goodwood will suit her, you know. We always get her out early
01:28 in the morning. She has her paddock up the back, she likes going out, she gets an hour
01:32 out there every day, which I'm sure helps her. She looks after herself, she's a good
01:36 eater, good mind, she doesn't get too fussed. Highfield Princess, who puts her nose in front,
01:43 and begins to assert. Highfield Princess stretching away, scorching away, breathtaking. Highfield
01:49 Princess, what the not for. She's a complete top class racer, really.
