Description

That's The Word is the lightly raced 3YO son of Written By from the mare Speranta.

A very straight forward horse to train, he is a pleasure to have in the stables and is good to handle on the ground and under saddle.

He would suit the provincial or country circuits which is not up to the level that his current ownership group are looking to race, so the decision has been made to move him on unreserved.

That's The Word has been spelling at Bennett Lodge since Wednesday 14th February.
