JUGGERNAUT extended our good start to the new season with his first success in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las on Saturday evening in the colours of Martyn Chapman and Gill Langford. With the odds on favourite pulling up it probably wasn’t the strongest of races but Juggernaut did a lot right and ridden by […]

A treble from three runners was a great way to enjoy a warm evening at Fontwell on Thursday. SOMESPRING SPECIAL was the first to strike in the opening race on the card, a recent recruit FAROUK DE CHENEAU was then successful an hour later before PURE THEATRE completed a tremendous three timer with a willing

DOCTOR FOLEY provided our first winner of the season as he continued his progression over fences with a cosy victory at Fontwell on Wednesday in a Class 5 handicap Chase over three and a quarter miles. Given that he was keener than ideal when winning on his Chase debut at Bangor last month I was

KILBEG KING extended our fine record at Punchestown with a decisive success in the valuable Grade B Conway Piling Handicap Hurdle on Thursday meeting. Its a meeting I like to target and was a brilliant way to bring up our 40th winner of the season which is a record for the yard. Just over an

DOYEN FOR MONEY provided our 39th winner of the season with a pleasing success in an extended two and a half mile Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton on Sunday in the colours of Howard Kingston. CAPTAIN CLAUDE then came close to giving us a double later in the afternoon until he lost momentum at a vital

DOCTOR FOLEY made a stylish winning debut over fences at Bangor-on-Dee on Saturday despite spending more time on the road than ideal over the previous 24 hours. With FORWARD PLAN running another sound race by collecting almost £12,000 for finishing second in a Class 2 novice handicap Chase at Ayr it was another rewarding day

A double at Exeter’s evening meeting on Friday took our total for the season to 37 winners! That’s a new record score for the yard and a welcome achievement after the frustration earlier in the day of taking four horses to Fontwell before withdrawing them with the ground a fair bit quicker than had been
