Sunday was a fantastic day with Only The Bold winning the £75,000 Summer Cup. Given the most brilliant ride by Gavin Sheehan, it was all about staying in touch the best we could in the early parts of the race. Stamina kicked inside the last half mile, Bold was terrier like chasing down the horses in front of him. A big jump was needed at the last fence and we got it. Bold was not going to ...

Shajak ran a cracker in the Northumberland Plate yesterday, beaten just five lengths. He looks a steal at 9,000gns and has a big staying race in him. We head to Uttoxeter today with Only The Bold & Howth. Only The Bold runs in the big chase race of the summer, it's great to have runners in these races for owners. £75,000 of prize money is up for grabs. Conditions will be on the quick ...

Rascal Recknell was a nice winner for his owners at Doncaster yesterday. Rascal was making his debut for us, a cheap buy after losing his way before we purchased him. A big strong horse that held some good form, it was another great turnaround job by the team. Shajak makes his debut for us in the 150k Northumberland Plate at Newcastle this afternoon. Costing just 9,000gns, we are straight in the...

Buxted Reel heads to Worcester this afternoon and runs in the 2m Hurdle at 4:33.This looks like one of those races, a different winner could be seen each time the race is run. It's wide open with plenty of horses in good form and little separating them. Ted as we call him isn't the biggest and carries a lot of weight, but he's tough and gives his all. The stiffer track of Worcester should suit hi...

Nibras Gold gave us our 17th winner of the year last week. The horses are running well, long may in continue. Our trainers are doing a great job. Squeezebox runs at Beverley in the 3:45. A drop down in trip that might not suit, but Beverley is a stiff racecourse where horses must stay up the long climb for home.Squeezy is very capable off his current rating, he just needs things to drop right an...

Devasboy & Nibras Gold run at Beverley this evening.Nibras Gold ran better than the finishing position suggest last time out, he was badly hampered inside the last furlong at Newbury. Ground conditions will be on the quick side, and it's likely we'll find ourselves in front doing the donkey work.  Nibras is very consistent and a tough horse, touch wood he can run another nice race. Deva...

Mr Le Philosophe runs this evening at Uttoxeter in the 7:10. It should be a lively night, an Abba tribute act plays after racing.Phil has run well in his two starts for us. We step up in trip by four furlongs this evening, mainly because there are no further races of this grade for the rest of the month.If Mr Le Philosophe stays the 2m4f, hopefully he can run another good race for his owners. &nb...

Back In The Bay runs this evening in the 8:10 at Worcester. Bay will try and follow up her win at Fakenham last time out. The switch to a bigger, more galloping track will be fine, whilst any rain that comes down won't do us any harm. Janworth is a winner without a penalty, was well clear at the last hurdle three days ago but took a tumble. A repeat of that could make her hard to be beat, hopefu...

Knights Affair runs in the first race at Newton Abbot today.Knights Affair won on debut for his owners, this means he carries a 7lb penalty in this Novice Hurdle, that's something not many horses do. We feel KA has improved again, on paper he'll have to, the Paul Nicholls horse looks well fancied whilst Chief Black Robe is smart over a fence, 120 rated horse.

A busy day ahead with four runners, two at Fakenham and two at Chelmsford. The jump horses are Howth & Light Dragoon. Each horse won last time out and seem in good form. Both of our runners are big horses and this would be the w...

Start of a busy weekend and no better place to kick off with a runner at York. Bona Fortuna makes his seasonal debut in the first race. The draw could be the problem for us, we don't have anywhere to go from stall 17. At York so far this season, the low numbers in sprints is where you needed to be. Bona will improve plenty for this run, it's a nice place to start, and hopefully he can show up we...

Mr Le Philosophe runs at Newton Abbot today. Phil as we call him ran well on debut for us at Warwick last week. We are running again quickly as this race looks to work whilst the handicapper has put Phil up a few pounds. Hopefully Mr Le Philosophe can show he's back to the horse he was in France.

Two runners today, jumps and flat. Mr Le Philosophe makes his debut for us and his owners at Warwick this afternoon.A good horse in France but showed nothing for previous connections, we purchased him for just under £2,500!He's a punt, we've changed a few things around and hope to some promise, plus a horse that's willing to try and race. Devasboy steps up in trip by a furlong at Brighton....

Light Dragoon bolted up last night for his owners at Fontwell by 16 lengths. The race perhaps fell to bits, but we don't worry about that. Our fourth winner in just over a week, credit to all our trainers. Two runners today, Nibras Gold at Newbury, then Only The Bold runs at Aintree. Nibras Gold won on debut for James Owen. We run again on the flat, a deeper race whilst very different conditions...

Light Dragoon makes his seasonal debut this evening in the 6:10 at Fontwell. Light Dragoon is the only horse in the race without a recent run, whilst this racecourse might not be ideal. Dragoon is a big lad, horses are on the turn a lot at Fontwell. He's in good form though and the yard is flying. A trappy race with support for plenty of the runners.It might take a bit of winning.

Machete Beach makes his hurdles debut in the first race at Plumpton today.A good flat horse that won twice from four starts. It's his first day at school and as per all horses running for the first time over hurdles, we are mainly after the horse to enjoy the experience. We've been pleased with Machete Beach at home, hopefully he can show promise.
