10th August 2018, Jockey Hector Crouch
A return to Brighton Racecourse on Friday 10th August saw Good Luck Charm win his 6th race at this track – his 8th of his career thus far! He won this exact race 12 months ago and it was a thrill to see him relish in the softer ground, battling it out well with fellow course specialist Black Caesar.
The horse broke fantastically from the stalls, took a keen hold, and traveled powerfully down the Brighton hill. He really enjoyed an eye-balling battle with Black Caesar and whether it was the wind in his tail we don’t know – but this old boy was so determined to win!
Hector Crouch rode another great race, and said “everything fell right for the horse today and he really enjoyed the softer ground. It is great to see the horse still enjoying his racing and winning at the age of 9!”
Good Luck Charm returned to the winners enclosure to an encore of cheers from his owners who have enjoyed such a brilliant ownership experience with this horse. Full credit to Gary Moore and his team for keeping an older horse so sweet and still enjoying his job. Let’s hope the same can be said for his 2-year old half brother who will race this Autumn.
We look forward to Good Luck Charm’s next start!
A selection of photographs can be ordered by official photographer Nigel Bowles – they really do tell a lovely story!
Had a lovely day at Brighton on Friday watching GLC win his race, where the high winds and heavy rain did nothing to dampen our spirits!
A big thank you to all, John, Gary, Hector and fellow owners that made it such a memorable day.
Sandra and Alan Pryer.
Thanks Alan and Sandra, so pleased you both enjoyed the day! Congratulations once again
We’re the luckiest owners, GLC just keeps on giving. Congratulations to Gary and his team for preparing the horse so we’ll (especially Lizzie) and thanks to Hector for another fine ride.
Congratulations Stephen and Heidi who have been involved with GLC since the beginning!
As the previous owner of Good Luck Charm’s dam (Lucky Dice) in Norway, it is great fun to follow the career of this old fellow. Thank You to the owners for having kept him in training for so long.
Thanks so much Tor. Gary has done very well to keep this 9yo so sweet and it’s a thrill to see him continue to win and love his racing. He is very much loved by his Owners!
just a note to say well done to Good Luck Charm, he is such a super horse and was the best introduction to ownership that any one could have. Well done to him and all his connections.
