LADY REBECCA
 LADY REBECCA EPITOMISES WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT AT TWEENHILLS.
Spotted as a potential star at Doncaster sales as a yearling, David paid the minimum bid of 400gns to buy her. She spent the next three years at Tweenhills growing and maturing, and was broken in as a three-year-old at the stud before being syndicated between the Kinnersley Optimists at Simon Christian's Kinnersley yard. David and his mother retained a 30% share in the filly.
She ran once for Simon finishing second in a NH flat race before he retired and the filly was moved to local trainer Venetia Williams.
What she achieved on the racecourse over the next four years has become legend - winning no fewer than 13 of her 18 starts and in excess of £160,000, including three consecutive Grade 1 Cleeve hurdles - she became a National favourite.
'Rebecca' never managed to win at the Festival, due on two occasions to badly interrupted preparations, but still won 7 races at the home of National Hunt racing where a race the Lady Rebecca Hurdle (L) is run every April in her honour.
She retired as a broodmare to Tweenhills Farm & Stud in 2001, as her connections did not want to risk her over fences.
LADY REBECCA’S PROGENY ARE CONTINUING TO FLY HER FLAG.
 Lord Generous has won several hurdle races in an impressive fashion under A P McCoy. He also won the Listed Bumper at Cheltenham on 1st January 2008 (pictured above), and realised €43,000 at Tattersalls Ireland November Sale as a yearling.
His half-sister by Fraam, Lady Samantha, sold for 35,000gns at Doncaster May Spring Sales. Trained by Kim Bailey she comfortably won a hurdle race at Taunton in 2009. Progeny set to make their racecourse debut soon include her five-year-old son by Hernando, Captain John Smith, trained by Tom George. Lady Rebecca's three-year-old Old Vic filly was broken-in at Tweenhills, and will go into training in the autumn for the same syndicate that raced Lady Rebecca herself, The Kinnersley Optimists.
In addition, the Tweenhills bred Fair Mix gelding out of Lady Rebecca's first foal, Leading Lady, realised €42,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland NH 2009 Sale. He was knocked down to Highflyer Bloodstock for Lord Generous' owner Dai Walters.
In 2010 'Rebecca' is visiting top NH sire Kayf Tara. |
