Who’sthedaddy Back on Track

whosthedaddy
Who’sthedaddy, bred by Tricia Wilson out of Lisathedaddy, will be back on track shortly. The three year old colt is looking great and was ridden out by Tom Queally today. Trish and Clive will be back in the UK shortly and hope to see his 2015 debut at Bath on May 4th over a mile.

Hopefully he will be able to bring some good results this year and some publicity for The Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund.

Tricia’s racing colours – blue with yellow stars – represent the charity’s logo, a shooting star in memory of Lisa.

12th Lisa Wilson Golf Day helps charity break £250,000 barrier

On Saturday 26th July 2014 at Wellow Golf Club, over 130 players participated in The Lisa Wilson charity golf day. The event was extremely well attended with two competitions – one for members and one for friends, family  & sponsors – and the evening event was a great success with The Tribute Band performing at the club house. In total the event bought in over £8,000 and has helped us to break the £250,000 barrier!

For those of you new to this website, this was the 12th golf day following Lisa’s tragic death in November 2002.

Lisa had worked and played golf at Wellow whilst she was at Southampton Solent University where she graduated in 2001 with a BA 2.1 in business management. Her reward to herself was a trip around the World and it was sadly on that trip whilst travelling to Ayres Rock that she died in a car crash. Following her death the family decided to start The Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund to help young adults who have overcome adversity who can demonstrate why they needed additional funding to fulfil their educational dreams and ambitions in the way that Lisa had by granting them bursaries of £1,000 a year up to 3 years.

To date, over 70 students have benefitted from bursaries, and with the funds raised by the latest Golf Day we have now broken through the £250,000 barrier. As each £1,000 represents a year in a student’s life, this has now become Lisa’s legacy which is now 250 years of education; a truly fitting legacy to a lovely young woman who was living her dream.

Over the past 12 years, the charity has been supported by family, friends, suppliers of her parents’ business SES Autoparts Ltd, and many, many celebrities including Celine Dion and Elton John. The horse racing fraternity has also played a large part. A race horse called “Lisa The Daddy” has won several times and foaled another horse, Lisa’s Legacy who won twice last year, and now the latest in the string, Who’s The Daddy is promoted through the horse racing fraternity and by Channel 4 racing.

Lisathedaddy is a mummy.. again!

socrates new born

On Monday March 24th, Lisathedaddy gave birth at Woodhaven stud to a foal, a colt who has been given a stable name of Socrates. Both are doing well.

He was up and about in a few minutes. The sire of Socrates is Dick Turpin and he presently stands at the national stud at Newmarket. His first foals race in 2015 so we will be watching to see how they do.

This is Lisathedaddy’s third foal, and all have been colts so far. Her first foal, Lisa’s Legacy – now a four year old – was sold in October and has gone to Ireland to become a hurdler. He has now had three outings and on April 20th came an impressive second place at Cork over two miles. His new trainer is RP Burns and the owner is Philip McGee.

Lisa’s Legacy was sold as Lisathedaddys second foal, Whosthedaddy, went into training with Daniel and Claire Kubler, now based at Lambourn. He is getting ready to race over the next few months as a two year old. Trainer Dan Kubler and his wife Claire have been very impressed to date and feel he is bigger and stronger than his half brother, Lisa’s Legacy.

Following a good run of form since winning at Salisbury Lisa’s Legacy followed up that trip with a third, second, and another win at Kempton Park on September 11th. Running over a mile and a half he stormed away to win by five lengths to recorded his second victory of the season. The man on board was Richard Kingcote who also rode Lisathedaddy to victory on three occasions and will be riding Brown Panther for Michael Owen in the Melbourne Cup in November.

Lisa’s Legacy wins at Salisbury

In a very poignant moment, race horse Lisa’s Legacy recorded its first victory on August 14th at Salisbury. Ridden by James Doyle and trained by Daniel Kubler, the 3 year old gelding won over a distance of a mile and a quarter.

Lisa’s Legacy is the foal of Lisathedaddy and sired by Kyllachy.  Lisathedaddy — named for Lisa’s email address, because “she was the daddy” — was the first race horse owned by Tricia Wilson who is the breeder of Lisa’s Legacy.

Lisathedaddy now has another foal, named “Whosethedaddy”, who will go into training later this year. She has also been covered by Dick Turpin this year at the national stud.
