Alpine Wedding

P Twomey's yard at Cashel, in County Tipperary, has had a strong season, sending out 35 winners already, so Alpine Wedding is in an outfit with genuine form and experience in developing young horses. The yard's track record suggests there is plenty of expertise behind this horse's training. For a two-year-old still early in its racing career, a placement every other race is respectable progress rather than a concern — many horses take time to develop and find their level. The fact that Alpine Wedding raced again just a day after finishing third shows Twomey is keeping the horse active and exposed to different opportunities, which is often the right approach with young stock still working out what suits them best.
