9th April 2025 – Jockey James Doyle
A huge congratulations to connections of Storm Free as he wins on his 3yo debut in a comfortable style at Nottingham!
The young horse had wintered very well both physically and mentally and it was great to see his stalls work had improved this season as he was quickly away. Jockey James Doyle rode a great race and tracked the leader throughout with Storm Free travelling sweetly in behind. When asked for an effort in the closing stages Storm Free was a little green when hitting some of the ridges in the course but he soon gathered himself together, picked up strongly and stuck to the task at hand as he passed his rival with ease.
James Doyle was delighted with Stormy’s attitude and professionalism and feels whilst he wouldn’t want the ground too firm there is still plenty of fun to be had with this horse on the turf.
A huge thank you must go to James Tate and his team for all of their work with Stormy – particularly his stalls work and having him in such a great place heading into his seasonal return! The future really does look bright for this son of Iffraaj!
