Trained in Wales by Thomas Faulkner, HOMEAND DRY is a lightly raced 7yr old gelding, who is handicapped to win over hurdles and on the flat.
 
From a top class family, HOME AND DRY has not reached those sort of heights but has definite scope to go on from where he is and have a successful future for connections.
The gelding won on handicap debut as a 3yr old for the Johnstons, by 14 lengths before a couple of underwhelming efforts were followed by a 700 day absence.
 
Moving to the Faulkners, he has been lightly raced with some very decent placed efforts alongside some not so promising runs when conditions haven't been ideal. He last run last month, was a nice enough 3rd place run which has brought him on a lot. His half-brother Daiquiri, was very promising, winning off 77 before running vey well off 83 and being sold to Australia.
 
He only had one run down-under, but it was a winning one. There are lots of signs that his is running off very low marks, and progression and wins are not far away at all.
Thomas expects to see him out again around the end of this month, the start of September and hopefully we can part of his progression as well as learning more about Thomas and the team.
