WINNER! Amazing Blue Sky at Southwell – 3rd February 2015
Amazing Blue Sky was our first winner of 2015 when scoring at Southwell under Serena Brotherton. Serena has ridden Arnie 4 times; won twice and been placed 2nd and third. Prior to winning Arnie had run well twice for Jimmy on the all weather having not been too impressed with running over hurdles!
“A moderate amateur riders’ event in which the front three pulled clear. AMAZING BLUE SKY, effectively 2lb wrong but representing last year’s winning trainer/rider combination, had run creditably to finish third over 1m4f at this track the last twice and had no problem with the drop in trip here. Moving into contention turning in, he found more than enough to hold off his two nearest rivals after hitting the front over a furlong out.”

“Amazing Blue Sky was never really going, but then he came back on the bridle and I was left in front sooner than I wanted. He’s a grand old horse, but it wasn’t the best of races.”
Serena Brotherton, 2015
