It’s been a minute since we’ve checked-in with MR. WILL and A PIC BY MRWILL (Princess). And we don’t know where Summer went!
MR. WILL has gradually improved since his first 2021 start where he had acted-up a bit at the gate and after a fifth and a fourth place finish subsequently, it was decided to give him a break back at home for a few weeks.
The rest has done him well and he’s already back in training at Woodbine, with a sharp workout!
He’s back and ready to go this Friday at Woodbine, Race 1 at 4:50 PM! We are so grateful that he has gotten to learn some valuable lessons with a master in Emma-Jayne Wilson. He will be transitioning under current #1 rider at Woodbine, Kazushi Kimura. We love Kimura’s energetic spirit and graciousness and not only we are huge fan, we are so honoured he’s giving MR WILL his vote of confidence in this race. As it is TIFF right now we aren’t sure if we will be able to make it, but we are wishing the best to KK and Mr Will!
Things are going well at the Love barn, with them scoring last weekend with HALF LIT. MR WILL’s promising half-brother BIG WILLOW also just has been retired and is eligible for a loving home. Details are below.
Fingers crossed all goes well Friday. Don’t forget to tune-in on HPITV!
We’ve missed our sweet Princess and hope to see her soon in the next couple weeks once things calm down a bit. She’s loving her life outdoors, putting on weight and soon her new barn which she’ll share with her new family, is almost fully built for the winter! Her Mom Emily Fisher sends us this amazing new pic of her below.
Emily will be competing with former veteran horse Cummings Road at the Retired Racehorse Project Mega-Makeover, for horses transitioning to a new career as jumpers, soon! More details on that here. And if you’re on the Woodbine backstretch, please see Emily to buy some Laura Secord chocolate towards her fundraising!
