Wednesdat at Åby (Sweden) Targaryan startet in a fillyrace wiht her trainer Flemming Jensen in the bike.
She had a nice start as first on the outside, but in the first turn Flemming Jensen chose fourth on the inside. First 1000 meter in 1.16,9.
In the middle of the race Targaryan was changed to fourth on the outside and in the last turn she tried for an attack, but soon she got tired and finished in the last half of the field in 1.16,7a/2640 meter.

After the race we decided that this was the last start for Targaryan!
She had a lot of potential, but never turned out to that racehorses we’d expected.
On the other hand, we can’t be disapointed with Targaryan.
Efter her worldrecord of 1.13,0/2660 meter on a cold october night at Åby, we decided to send Targaryan to France – hoping that the french startingsystem combined with the longer races would be perfect for her.
However, destiny was not on our side. Before she was “accllimatized” Tomas Malmqvist lost his training-license, so we had to take her home again. That trip was not good for her – it was far from perfect and I guess she never got back on track.
Targaryan will now become a broodmare – either at our farm or somewhere else, but no matter what, she’s very interesting as a daughter of Varenne and Armbro Vioce.
Targaryan (1.13,3am/1.13,9l-296.282 DKK) has won seven races in 32 starts.
