La Bague Au Roi may head to Ladbrokes Trophy
Greatrex keen – as long as ground suits at Newbury.
Warren Greatrex is keen to let La Bague Au Roi take her chance in this month’s Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury, provided the ground is suitable. The Lambourn trainer believes the prestigious three-and-a-quarter-mile prize on November 28 is the ideal test for his dual Grade One winner, who is unbeaten in three starts at the Berkshire track. La Bague Au Roi finished fifth on her first outing since undergoing wind surgery in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby last month, after which she was dropped 2lb.What a finish to the Grade One @32Red Kauto Star Novices’ Chase @kemptonparkrace!🏇🏇
La Bague Au Roi shows a tremendous attitude to get the better of Topofthegame and maintains her unbeaten record over fences.👏#WinterFestival #GreatFinish pic.twitter.com/ceSe0icEMI — Racing TV (@RacingTV) December 26, 2018
Greatrex said: “The ground is key to her. If it comes up like it was at the track on Thursday or is good to soft we would definitely have a go – if it doesn’t we will have to think again. “I was chuffed to bits with her run at Wetherby. She just didn’t travel as well as she can do on better ground, but I thought she ran a respectable race. “She is three from three (at Newbury) – and she will stay the trip.”
