Although we didn’t think there were any physical issues with All The Glory following her Musselburgh run, we did carry out a blood test and trachea wash, just to make sure. 

The trach wash did show up traces of mucus, which isn’t unusual, but there was no indication of any bacteria, which is good news.

That means she doesn’t require any form of medication, and we can crack on and freshen her up for the race at Cheltenham on April 17th that we’ve had in mind for a while. It’s a £50,000 Final for the Mares’ Challenger Hurdle Series that she qualified for when she won at Southwell, and we think it will suit her well. 

We’ll keep you posted as we build up to the race, but a Cheltenham run would be a great way to end her season, so all being well that’s the plan.
