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 […]

Dreaming Blue gained his third victory from his last four races over fences with a fluent success in an £18,000 handicap Chase off a career high mark at Ludlow on Wednesday in the colours of Roger Devlin. An uncomplicated, sound and reliably consistent performer he jumped well in the main for Rex Dingle, enjoyed a

Jordans Cross delivered our 26th NH winner of the season with a pleasing victory on his debut over hurdles at Southwell on Tuesday in the colours of the Steeple Chasers. An athletic, good moving type he was beaten narrowly on his first start for us in a bumper at Chepstow a month ago which gave

COQUELICOT won her ninth race for us at the age of eight with a fluent success from the front in a Class 4 two mile 0-80 handicap on the flat at Nottingham on Wednesday ridden brilliantly by Sean Kirrane. She has been a marvellous mare for her syndicate of owners put together by Matt Bisogno,

Juggernaut’s success in a handicap hurdle at Stratford on Thursday was a notable triumph for his rider Chad Bament who was gaining his first success under rules from a handful of chances. Chad claims a handy 10lbs and has earned his chance as a conditional jockey after riding nine Point-to-Point winners. He works hard in
