Friday racing: Hicko's Lad and Rocklaw head to Thirsk


Posted: 12.28 • 08 Apr 2026 • News


We send two horses to Thirsk's 'Easter Family Day' on Friday.

Homebred Mattmu gelding Hicko's Lad will make his debut in the Join Racing TV Today Maiden Stakes. A son of the Camacho mare Hicko's Girl, the chestnut two-year-old will carry the colours of Mark Hickling Racing. Hicko's Boy has spent his whole life here, having been foaled at Norton Grove Stud in 2024, and we know him as 'Morris'.

Rocklaw has her third racecourse outing as she tackles the second division of the racingtv.com Restricted Novice Stakes. Eighth on both of her two previous starts, she'll be ridden by Joanna Mason who takes over from Jimmy Sullivan. We leave off the headgear that was worn last time.
