Strudel 3/9/09

Strudel's Reprive.
Strudel had her first start on the 2nd August, led all the way only to be beaten on the line by the Mark Kavanagh trained hotpot French Lion. Next start she finished down the track, ten lengths behind the winner Pirates and this Bel Esprit mare was entered in the 2009 August Thoroughbred Sale.
However trainer Russell Bell made a decision to get the mare inspected by the Vet who said she had a leg injury and she was withdrawn from the sale.
Today at Seymour over 1009m on a heavy track, there was confidence in the camp as Strudel was very well backed, jumped last and threaded her way through the field and won showing that there are more wins in store.
Bel Esprit has now had twenty winners this season, sixteen by the second crop four year olds who have a strike rate of 29%.
