Drawn 4 with Joe Fanning up

Might find the trip a bit sharp on this track imo

Opened 3/1 and smashed into 2/1

Fancy it again today

sh1t course to run on for her over that distance, Greyhound track. Finished so well but not well positioned throughout

She was too far back & I suppose 1200 on the short side. Only got going very late.

Slightly missed it and was shuffled back, full of credit, will be hard to beat in the finals

For a sprint they all ran like tortoises for the first half

it's the Cape crawl.

Cold As ice is being targeted at the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in bid to fly the flag for South Africa.

Ridgemont manager Craig Carey said: “William Haggas’s favoured race for her is the Jubilee but he stresses that everything has to go right in the meantime for her to run in that. It would be great for South African racing and breeding if she were to run.”

Bernard Fayd’Herbe, who rode her to win the Choice Carriers as well as her first two British starts including the win at Chelmsford, has stood himself down as he does not expect to be able to do the weight in her planned campaign.

Carey said: “We’ve left it in William’s care to find a suitable jockey but we want continuity, someone who can ride her at Lingfield and Ascot as well as the two or three races leading up to the Jubilee.”

Joe Fanning, who rode her last time, rides the majority of Mark Johnson’s big string and so is unlikely to be available. Cold As Ice runs next in the £150 000 (R3.3 million) Fillies & Mares Final at Lingfield on Friday week.

If I was a jock and in this case Bernard. I would try blady hard to get to the riding weight. The purse amount is huge even for the prep up into the main targeted race. Once done will fly back home and sit "fat"

Just looked at the race , she would be odds on if run a year ago in South Africa, really should win on the bridle www.racingpost.com/horses2/cards/card.sd...6-03-25#raceTabs=lc_

Injured herself in race on Friday.News is that she is going to be retired.
