Walsh Novice Stakes. "But this was a big step up in class. I had told Conor to take him back, so he was a little more forward placed than I thought, but Conor gave him a masterful ride."
Around the final turn, Little Trilby stumbled quite badly but recovered quickly and after the last fence closed strongly to get up for the win in the last few strides.
"The two horses in front of me weren't coming back to me, so I went outside to get around them," said Tierney. "He had a slight stumble and lost a little ground, but he straightened out and came again. He jumped brilliantly."
Hendriks also saddled his own Star Force, ridden by Tierney, to win the $30,000, 2 1/2 mile Optional Maiden Starter/Maiden Claiming race by 3 3/4 lengths in 4:52 2/5 over Lucky Prince, trained by Joe Davies, and Love Shaq, trained by Barry Foley.

1-Less strain on the skeletal system and soft tissue because equines are designed to primarily eat with the head down.
4-Relaxed Mental & Emotional State: A horse’s emotional state is reflected in body position and posture. If we require a horse to eat with their head elevated, we are encouraging an alert and tense mental state.
If impaired, this can create tension psychologically.
