It’s been a long time, but Star Of Lady M is at last ready to start her season. She has an entry in the Prix De Saint-Georges at Paris Longchamp on 11th May. I’ve told Lady M that it’s quite relaxed over there and she definitely won’t need a new outfit 😂

Mike Sanchez was rocking in Stoke last night. First UK gig for several years. If you missed him he’s got a UK tour and a new album coming out in June / July mikesanchez.com/tour-dates

For the avoidance of doubt Star Of Lady M will not be going to Cheltenham Trials day nor indeed the festival itself 😂#starofladym

Its been a great achievement by David O’Meara and his team to keep her competitive for so long, & my thanks to Oisin Murphy, Danny Tudhope (twice), Mark Winn, Jim Crowley & David Nolan for getting her into the winners enclosure, & all of the jockeys who looked after her so well. 2/3

It has been a fantastic season for Star Of Lady M and now she will get a well deserved rest. She started the year at Lingfield in January rated 74, and finished in a Group 3 rated 110.
She raced 17 times, winning 6 and being placed in 4, winning over £100,000 in prize money. 1/3

This is going to take a while!
