Girl in a Storm Wins at Ascot

Girl In A Storm chalked up the fifth win of her career when she won at Ascot last week on Magic Millions Day. By the ill-fated Champion Western Australian stallion sensation Metal Storm, the mare is steadily improving her value as a potential broodmare with each preparation. Trainer Michael Pateman has done an excellent job with Girl In A Storm, despite her being an unpredictable, and often dangerous horse to ride. It's not generally known, but in her career, she's easily put at least 6 people into hospital, and has thrown a rider at least 20, maybe 30 times or more!

I've really enjoyed working with Michael since giving him Girl In A Storm, and as a reward I've given him our Bletchley Park filly which I purchased at the yearling sales last week to prepare for the Magic Millions/Karrakatta Plate double this time next year...By the way, Michael is currently second on the WA Trainers premiership. The filly can be viewed on our website at www.belhusracing.com.au, and just a couple of shares remain in her.
