• Sunday 29th April

  Well we are really getting sick and tired of this weather now and it is getting quite frustrating. It did mean that the boss did not work anything as the ground was too wet and they were kept to the all weather canters. We have had some good cheer though ...

• Wednesday 25th April

  On Monday we sent two runners to Pontefract and although hopeful of good runs we had great concerns about the ground. The first to run was RUACANA who had been placed in three starts in maiden company on the all weather and was making his turf and handica...

• Sunday 22nd April

  On Thursday BORN TO SURPRISE continued our runners at the Craven Meeting. He was very awkward as the stalls opened and was very slowly away. He raced down the centre of the track for the first part of the race. He had plenty to do when ridden and made som...

  We have had a quite start to week with BRIDGEHAMPTON being our only runner so far at Southwell yesterday. He lost ground at the start and was soon driven along. He did not appear to face the kick back at all and finished fourth. Hopefully he will improve ...

• Saturday 14th April

  We were really unlucky last night with LOVE GROWS WILD at Wolverhampton. Drawn badly she was settled towards the rear and was always struggling to get a clear run. When turning into the straight she was still in the rear and finished like a train down the...

• Wednesday 11th April

  Well we have started the season well and already we have three winners on the board. It was a busy bank holiday for us and we started the day off at Yarmouth where we had DESERT RED and EXTREMELY ALERT running in the opener. EXTREMELY ALERT started slowly...

• Sunday 8th April

  It was great to get our first winner of the season when BORN TO SURPRISE obliged at Doncaster. He was held up in the rear and made good headway to lead with a furlong left to run. He strode clear and the winning time was quicker than both older-horse hand...

• Saturday 31st March

  Sadly TWINKLED failed to start what we hoped was going to be a good weekend for the yard. He pulled far too hard early on and had run his race when short of room inside the last furlong. He has taken the race well and we will try and find another opportun...

• Sunday 25th March

  We have had a quiet week this week and sadly we have had no runners to report. Things have started to get going now and everything is being geared for next weekend with KING OF JAZZ missing the Lincoln and will now possibly run on the Sunday at Donca...

• Sunday 18th March

  We have had four runners this week with two runners on Tuesday at Southwell and two runners on Thursday at Wolverhampton. We started the week off at Southwell with JO BOY who chased the leading pair on the inner. He was ridden with two furlongs left to...

• Saturday 10th March

  Sadly we were luckless in Dubai with MARGOT DID and WIGMORE HALL this afternoon at Meydan. MARGOT DID showed plenty of pace before fading. She was re-appearing following an absence and the ground was possibly a bit faster than she would have liked. She sh...

• Thursday 8th March

  We have just seen STRONG VIGILANCE run at Wolverhampton. He jumped from the stalls and was rousted along to make the pace. He looked to be happy and travelling well in front. When he hit the three furlong pole he was passed by another horse and dropped ...

• Sunday 4th March

  We had to be happy with RUACANA'S second on Monday at Wolverhampton. He was ridden prominent, but got forced wide on the home bend. He took a bit of time to find full stride, but was running on well at the line. He looks as though he might appreciate slig...

• Saturday 25th February

  We were delighted with RUACANA'S debut run at Wolverhampton on Monday. He looked very green throughout and struggled to maintain a decent position early on. He finished strongly, despite not getting the clearest of runs and should improve plenty. He has b...

• Monday 20th February

  Firstly apologies for the lack of updates on the website, but I was on holiday last week and I had planned on updating it from the cottage I was staying at in Wales, but sadly the internet connection was non existent which was especially frustrating as I ...

• Sunday 5th February

  It was great to get off the mark for the year when DUBAI SUNSHINE scored a victory at Southwell on Tuesday. It did not look the most competitive of races and our horse put up an improved effort on this his Fibresand debut to win with a fair bit hand. He a...

• Sunday 29th January

  With just the one runner this week we were hoping that JO BOY would get our first win on the board for the new season. Stepped up in trip this lightly raced five year old, tried to get on terms with the winner up the straight, but looked one paced when as...

• Sunday 22nd January

  It was great to have some action again this week when STRONG VIGILANCE took his chance at Lingfield. He raced prominently early on and was asked for his effort to lead with three furlongs left to run, but he could not sustain his challenge and soon droppe...

• Sunday 15th January

  Well we have had our first two runners of the year when JO BOY and HOLY EMPRESS ran at Kempton on Thursday but sadly no winners to report. JO BOY looked to be travelling nicely and was well in touch with four left to run. He was asked for his effort wi...

• Sunday 8th January

  The horses are in such great form at present and we are having our fair share of loose ones. Thankfully no one has been hurt yet and it is great to see them so well. It always happens this time of year as apart from the all weather squad the rest of the s...
