A little bit about Lily

Lilly (yard name) is a 2 year old , GBB registered, bay filly who will be trained by David O’Meara  based in Upper Helmsley on the outskirts of York.

The Great British Bonus Scheme (GBB) incentivises and rewards the breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies. Owners, breeders and winning connections of each horse can win a share of up to £20,000 per eligible race, enabling owners and other connections to the horse to win up to £16,000 per race won.

Lilly is trained by David O’Meara. A successful NH jockey for 13 years. David rode for Tim Easterby and in 2010 he entered the training ranks, within a decade he had amassed over 1000 winners – one of the quickest ever to reach that milestone in Britain. 

Her sire Lightning Spear (https://tweenhills.com/stallion/lightning-spear) is a stand out stallion.

• Winner of the Sussex Stakes Gr.1, placed in a further 7 Gr.1 races and dual Gr.2 winner
• Son of the late Pivotal, a proven sire of sires and outstanding broodmare sire
• Timeform rated 124, higher than Pivotal’s successful stallion son Siyouni
• 75% winners to runners from his first crop including 6-time winner Atlantic Gamble, 4-time winner Royal Velvet and 3-time winners Destiny’s Spirit and Umming N’ Ahing. 

Racing onto the age of 7 years, he was a won every year from the age of 2 yrs  and is steeped in black type wins at 1 mile.

“Lightning Spear is the best miler I have trained. He is blessed with a terrific turn of foot and has been a tough, ultra consistent performer at the highest level – it is testament to him that he has stayed sound throughout his career and has the most wonderful temperament to go with it”
