Lifeplan Headed To Winter Quarters With An Eye To The Guineas

Wait 5 sec.

Wasdell Properties and Martin Tedham's Lifeplan will be given the rest of the season off, with his long-term goal the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket next season, according to trainer Declan Carroll.The son of Kodi Bear ran out a length winner of the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York last month after a Thirsk novice victory in July. Undefeated, the €165,000 Goffs Orby yearling was under consideration for the G1 Middle Park Stakes on September 27. He is currently a 25-1 shot for next year's Classic on May 2.Carroll said, “Lifeplan is fine but myself and the owner had a chat and decided we would leave him for the year now and we will put him away and train him for the Guineas next year.“He's definitely one to look forward to. He'll stay [here] over the winter and keep him ticking over. We're looking at him as a Guineas horse and that's what we'll aim for. We'll start him off in one of the trials and go from there.“It gives us something to look forward to and he's a very exciting horse. We've been very pleased with what he has done in his two runs and we'd be hopeful there is more to come next year.”The post Lifeplan Headed To Winter Quarters With An Eye To The Guineas appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
