Entrepreneur Richard Branson’s remark, ‘if you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed,’ might apply to trainer Gemma Tutty running Mostly Cloudy at York.
Despite winning five of his last races, bookmakers and punters believe the 22-1 chance would be better off staying in his stable rather than jumping in the ring with Stradivarius and Trueshan in the Group Two Lonsdale Cup.
“Yeah, just to have a runner at that meeting, in my first season training, is a thrill – but in the race that we are in is mind-blowing really,” said Tutty, who has only ten horses in her yard at Northallerton who have won 12 races.
