A lovely filly we’re looking forward to welcoming into training at Somerville Lodge. For more information, visit raceshare.com 🏇
#SL #SomervilleLodge
Our latest acquisition, a filly by Classic-winning sire Native Trail, is set to join @WilliamHaggas stable to begin her education.
She’s our second yearling purchase of 2026, following the success of our first launch, which reached full capacity in just five days.
Our previous yearling purchases have enjoyed notable success on the track, most recently Undiscovered, who heads to the Listed Silver Tankard at Pontefract after an unlucky run last time out, narrowly missing out on a Group placing. We’ll be hoping our latest filly can follow in his footsteps.
