Could Be Trouble Triumphs at Hexham with a Front-Running Masterclass
Could Be Trouble once again proved she’s a force to be reckoned with, clinching a dominant victory at Hexham over the hurdles. The thoroughbred mare led from the front, making every post a winning one, and was never seriously challenged by her rivals. Under a superlative ride from Theo Gillard, Could Be Trouble stayed ahead throughout the race, ultimately crossing the line 2.5 lengths clear of her nearest challenger.
This victory marks an impressive 7th career win for the mare, who has now added Hexham to her growing list of triumphs, following a victory at Catterick back in February. Gillard’s tactical brilliance was evident as he set a steady pace, ensuring Could Be Trouble could use her natural stamina and ability to the fullest. The combination of horse and jockey was simply too strong for the other 6 runners, and the 2.5-length margin of victory was a clear reflection of the partnership’s class.
With her consistent form and strong performances, Could Be Trouble continues to build a solid reputation in the hurdling world. Her ability to lead from the front and withstand the pressure makes her a thrilling horse to watch.
