Lir Speciale

Lir Speciale is an outstanding prospect. As a five-year-old, with only 12 career runs, we think he is bursting with potential. With an official BHA rating of 92 (Timeform rated 103) he's rated high enough to get into some of the Flat season's biggest handicaps. His last run before RaceShare purchased him at the Tattersalls Horses-In-Training sales in October 2023, was at Chelmsford in September on the all weather, where he finished fourth. It was a bang in form run which saw him finish strongly having been too far back as a result of a bad draw. He's now in training with Stuart Williams (previously with Roger Varian) and Stuart is a master at improving horses bought from the Horses-In-Training sales. Stuart has studied Lir's career closely, and thinks he may well prove better as a sprinter in time - he was running over mostly 7f last season. Although his last win was in May 2023 on the all-weather, his wins on turf in 2022 at Windsor and Doncaster were every bit as good as he achieved on an artificial surface.
