Aiguillette is one of our most consistent horses with 7 placed efforts to his name so you can imagine how delighted his lovely Owners were when he secured his first career win in August 2021! He is by Group 1 winner Epaulette, in training with Gary Moore, and is a half sibling to 9-time winner Good Luck Charm.
Aiguillette was a late developer who took a little time to come together. However we were thrilled to see towards the back end of his 3-year old season Aiguillette running consistently finishing second three times on the bounce! He commenced his 4yo season with a respectable run at Wolverhampton before landing right back in the winners enclosure to finish 2nd on the turf at Yarmouth in August and again (by the closest of margins!) at Kempton Park.
Heading into his 5yo campaign and the horse had once again transformed physically over the winter. He has had a busy season thus far with a 2nd and 3rd placed finish, before being given a decent break in between races to 16th August 2021. This date will be one that his Owners will remember for a while as after being the bridesmaid so many times, Aiguillette finally got his nose in front and landed his first win! Coming from first to last, the horse travelled strongly, coming through horses under a great ride from apprentice Rhys Clutterbuck. He hit the line strongly and his Owners & trainer were over the moon to see him the winner of the photo finish! See his first win below.
There has been a lot of homework that has gone into this individual and a huge thank you to his groom Bilal who came in especially on his day off to take his horse to his first win! Gary thinks there is more to come from this horse and we hope to see him on a roll now this season!

Lucky Dice is a much loved mare at Heart of the South and we are delighted she has produced such a lovely type to end her broodmare career. The gelding comes from a family of winners including dual winner The Shuffler, 3-time winner Lightning Spirit and her most successful offspring, 9-time winner Good Luck Charm. Interestingly, all her offspring are kind and well-mannered sorts also.
