Definite Appeal and Jakub Kocman give the first win!posted 04-01-2012
As we have young horses that we have bred and not sold - the plan was hatched to try and get a permit to train. We have trained point to pointers and thoroughly enjoyed that experience. So after the plans were laid it was good to see he result on New Years Day. We are so lucky to have Jakub Kocman working and riding for us. Husband Frank is a good owner to have - two runners, three runs and a first, second and third! Guess he may keep his horses on the yard!
