The intention was for Saumur to go the December Mares Sale, however, the owners have decided to keep her in the yard and she will be schooled over hurdles. Saumur has given us all a lot fun, she has a very competitive attitude, always tries and is very consistent. She has raced 28 times and been in the first four 21 times.
