	Description and Race Plans
	Philip Kirby has been looking for a hurdling prospect for us for some time, a horse which could rise through the ranks and hopefully give us some competitive runs at a decent grade.  In response, he found this promising gelding for us, and he hasn't disappointed, winning only his third race for us. Stormy Morning's ability on the flat is not in question, as this gelding has been ultra consistent through the 2011 season for Pat Eddery.  If anything, he has run into a few improving horses which has meant he has had to settle for the runners up spot on a number of occasions.  He is able to settle well and tends to come with his run over three of four furlongs out, and then runs down the opposition.  Competitive from one mile four furlongs and up, he has a straight-forward racing style and we expect Philip will be able to place him well in order to provide further winners enclosure finishes. However, Philip is currently actively racing this gelding through a winter campaign over hurdles.  He had previously raced over hurdles, but was extremely novicey in the way he took his jumps, ruining any chance of getting competitive.  However, with Philip in charge and another year under his belt, a he has mastered his jumping, and this son of Nayef has proven to be a very decent proposition over sticks. Philip stated "To look at him he struck me as being a real hurdling type.  He has tons of bone and is very compact, both of which are very positive signs.  Since getting him home he's shown himselve to be very straightforward and a nice horse to have around.  On the racecourse it only took a couple of runs for us to work him out and then he went in for us.  He's going to be a really exciting horse for 2012 and beyond because we can go both jumping and flat routes with him, and you never know he may even jump a chase fence." He added  'He's a really nice addition to our winter team, and will earn his oats on the flat next summer as well.  I'm looking forward to getting at least another win if not more from him." concluded Philip.
