GETMETOTHEMOON gained her second success with a thrilling late run that took her to the front in the final strides of a Class 5 handicap hurdle at Plumpton on Monday in the colours of the House family. She has been a model of consistency since going handicapping and was given a very good ride by

A double at Plumpton on Monday took our score for the season to thirty which is by some way our best tally before Christmas. Our horses continue in good form, have now earned £300,000 in prize money and hopefully there is plenty more to come. Both our winners were ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies who was

Saturday ultimately proved a rewarding day despite receiving a red alert text warning me not to leave the house because of Storm Darragh. Top marks to our staff for getting all our horses ridden despite the worst of the weather. At first I couldn’t believe I was heading to Sandown, so to end up with
