HORSES IN TRAINING
Meet the horses currently in training with David Dennis Racing.
MAXIANI
2022
SEX: Filly
Breeding: by Maxios out of Tasmani
Owner: Professor Lorna Hardwick

This unraced three-year-old filly was sourced privately from Cleaboy and Coppice Stud Farm, where she was bred in Mullingar, Co. Kildare, Ireland. She is the final progeny of Tasmani, who has produced prolific winners such as Cyclop, Innisfree Lad, and Credo.
She arrived in England last spring, where she was backed and ridden away before being turned out again to mature. Now back in light training, we’re very much looking forward to having her in the string here at Edgcote.
A female version of her half-brother Cyclop in terms of looks, she has shown a pleasing attitude so far. We wish Lorna Hardwick the very best of luck with her, having already enjoyed many great days with Cyclop and Innisfree Lad throughout their careers. Here's hoping Maxiani can follow in their footsteps.
STRAIGHTNUPSOLDIER
2020
SEX: Gelding
Breeding: by Soldier of Fortune out of Out Like That
Owner: Mr John Abernethy

Straightnupsoldier is a recent addition to our yard, having been purchased from English Point-to-Point rider and trainer Dale Peters. He had two runs in Maiden Point-to-Points this year, during which he travelled and jumped well, though he faded towards the finish on both occasions.
We plan to start him off over hurdles, to potentially send him chasing as he has the size and scope for it. He’s a very likeable type with a good temperament and has settled in well to our routine here at Edgcote.
We hope his owner, John Abernethy, enjoys plenty of fun with him in the season ahead.
