‘I’ve clicked with him’
SIX-YEAR-OLD Irish gelding My Little Cecil headed the maiden 6yo & up to land his first win for owner Tim Sleath, under D Ellis.
Trainer Nick Williams took the horse on a month ago and has spent the time training him on the sand dunes of his local beach.
“I always knew he’d be a nice horse,” said Nick. “I thought he’d want the ground a bit softer but we got it about right. He’s always worked well at home – he enjoys going on the beach and I seemed to have clicked with him.”
Tim bought him out of Ireland after his previous owners “thought he’d be too slow”.
“They didn’t give him a chance, and he hadn’t done anything at all,” said Tim. “We’ll run him in a couple of weeks in a restricted.”
