It was great to see Kaituna River win down at Plumpton for his patient Owners.  The syndicate known as 'Money Down The River' are a group of local farmers who all got together and decided to become involved in Racehorse ownership.  After his first season with us, Kaituna unfortunately picked up an injury which put him on the sidelines for a season.  The time off gave him the c...

 What a little superstar Looking As You Are is when following up from her Ludlow victory to go onto Plumpton on Monday and win again!  She is so tough, earlier on in the race she did not look like she was going to get there but she flew the last two hurdles to win by 10 lengths.  So lovely for her owners The Gumbrills Racing Partnership and especially for Annie Fry who bred her out ...

 Kankin made a superb start over fences winning on his seasonal debut at Huntingdon.  A great start for his new owners The 25 Club who purchased him at the end of last season.  A very slick round of jumping with Kielan on board and hopefully lots more fun to come this season.  So good that so many of the club could be there to welcome him home and pick up the trophy.

 No Risk With Lou was having his first run of the season under the guidance of Kielan and Wow, he did not disappoint!  Leading from start to finish, the pair went off like rockets and kept the gallop up right until the end, winning by at least 8 lenghts.  A very slick performance for his first time over fences and hopefully giving us a taste of what we can look forward to for the re...

 So thrilled for EZ Tiger who finally got his head in front at Southwell yesterday.  He has recently been very close but had yet to get to that number one spot, which he did in great style yesterday under a fabulous ride by Bryan Carver.  Really chuffed for his owner, Neil Rodway, who unfortuanately could not be there but was watching from home.  Neil has been a great supporter...

 It was great to see Hiconic back to form again yesterday.  After a horrible injury a couple of years ago and a season that didn't quite flow last year it was great to see her back in form.  She was a good winner at Warwick last month and made it two in a row under Harry Bannister yesterday at Worcester under Harry Bannister.  She is a tough mare and has served her owners, Gold...

 It has been a busy week at Trafford Bridge with the horses starting to get back on track.   On Sunday Grasse D'Oliverier ran up at Market Rasen.  We were hoping that she would improve from her 5th place last time out and she didn't disappoint.  She sat handy throughout the majority of the race and took it up coming into the home straight to win easily under a great ride by J...
