Stepping up to 1m2f, Thisonesforyou showed plenty of stamina to land a pleasing success on the all-weather at Lingfield on Thursday evening (10th September). Partnered by Billy Loughnane for the first time, the three-year-old travelled nicely behind the early leaders. Turning for home, he still had a fair amount of ground to make up and, for a moment, it looked as though the gap to the leader might prove too much to bridge. Inside the final furlong, he responded gamely when a

Arctic Tsar showed a clean pair of heels winning impressively by a length and three quarters at Leicester on Tuesday (8th September). The recent rainfall had been a concern as many of Kodiac’s progeny appreciate a sounder surface. However, he broke smartly and delivered a very promising display completely at home on the softer surface. He has developed into a good looking strong colt and the step up to 7 furlongs was a pleasing ingredient. He is due to go up 6lbs for his suc

Returning to Goodwood for a repeat victory on last year’s Handicap success in the same race, we were delighted to see Flash Harry back in the winner’s enclosure after a very confident performance over the six furlongs. With Rossa Ryan in the saddle, the pair dropped in behind early leaders as the field split into two groups racing down the course. Within the main body of runners on the far side he appeared to have a challenge in front of him, but closing stages saw him produc

After a near miss at Glorious Goodwood, where he finished in a respectable third, it was marvellous to see Blue Courvoisier return to winning ways in the mile handicap at the Ebor Festival at York on Friday (21st August). Dropping back to a mile, which looks to be his preferred distance, certainly seemed to suit him, and this was made all the more apparent by a determined, start-to-finish winning performance. With Rossa Ryan on board, they were away smartly from the stalls

Having shown plenty of promise as a two-year-old last season and continued progression on the all-weather over the winter, it was really pleasing to see Whizzy Dizzy get off the mark in the five-furlong handicap at Lingfield on Thursday (20th August). Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, the three-year-old broke well from a positive draw and was quickly into a prominent position, travelling comfortably on the rail in third as the field turned for home. With early lea

Saturday (15th August) proved to be a memorable day of racing at our home track of Newbury, where we were delighted to saddle a double, highlighted by a special victory in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes. The afternoon got off to a brilliant start in the shape of Addison Grey, a horse who has shown plenty of ability throughout the season but has found himself on the wrong side of fortune on more than one occasion. Stepping up to seven furlongs for the first time looked a positi

We were delighted to see Bold Shout get off the mark at Salisbury on Wednesday, winning the Novice Stakes comfortably by 2¾ lengths on just his third start. Stepping back to six furlongs, he showed plenty of intent from the outset, breaking smartly from the stalls before Hector Crouch settled him into a prominent position on the outside. Travelling well throughout, he began to make his challenge as they approached the final two furlongs, responding gamely when asked and pulli

Winning last time out over the same course and distance, we were delighted to see Keep Kicking On back in the winner’s enclosure on Monday evening at Windsor, after coming home in front to land his second consecutive Handicap title. With only five runners, it was a tactical affair. As he has shown in previous starts, he can be inclined to race a little too freely in the early stages, so Hector Crouch did a good job of finding some cover in the field, settling him in behind th

After a promising debut at Salisbury, Silver Sovereign was quick to build on her first experience with an impressive winning performance at Haydock on Friday (7th August), storming home in the closing stages to take the Fillies’ Novice Stakes. Racing over six furlongs on debut, she showed a willing attitude, but the step up to seven furlongs this time certainly proved favourable. She travelled strongly throughout and produced a late surge, showing plenty of pace to get the be

Following an encouraging debut earlier this month, Pride of Toledo took another significant step forward to break his maiden in the Novice Stakes at Salisbury on Saturday (26th July). Partnered by Callum Rodriguez, the colt broke smartly and, despite racing a little keenly through the early stages, settled into a prominent position just behind the leaders. Travelling strongly throughout, he was asked for his effort approaching the final furlong and responded impressively, qui

We were delighted to see Keep Kicking On get off the mark with a determined success on his Handicap debut at Windsor on Monday (20th July), providing another pleasing two-year-old result for the Beechdown team. Having shown plenty of potential in his earlier starts this season, the colt stepped into handicap company for the first time and produced a performance full of grit. Ridden by Rossa Ryan, he broke well and settled just behind the early pace, travelling comfortably thr

We were delighted to see Satellite of Love maintain his unbeaten record with another determined success in a competitive novice contest at Newbury on Saturday (18th July), following up his winning debut at Windsor earlier in the season. Partnered once again by Georgia Dobie, he broke smartly from the stalls and soon settled into a good position just behind the early leader. Travelling strongly throughout, he looked comfortable with the pace and still had plenty to offer as th

We were delighted to welcome two-year-old Jaan Ki Turki’s debut success last week (14th July), as the colt got off the mark with a promising four-length win at Ffos Las in a Maiden over six furlongs. Having gained valuable experience in some strong company earlier this season, including a highly respectable effort in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, the colt looked to have learnt plenty from his previous outings. That progression was clear to see on this occasion, where he

It was an exciting day of racing for the Beechdown team on Saturday as Redorange was first to kick things off, rising to victory to secure his first Listed success at York. Coming into this race, the four-year-old already presented consistent form as a triple Handicap winner, so we knew he was well equipped to handle the company, but this race has previously shown itself to be a strong Listed five-furlong contest, so we couldn’t be more pleased with how he demonstrated his sp

Our good run of form continued on Saturday (4th July) at Nottingham, where we enjoyed a memorable double as two three-year-olds recorded their first career victories in consecutive races. First to strike was Courageous Sioux, an exciting filly who has only recently joined the yard. Owned by Jeremy and Jason Young, who we are delighted to have on board this year, the lightly raced three-year-old was making just her second career start and her first appearance where she was cle

Our winning form continued on Monday evening (29th June), as Captaincy put in an impressive performance in the Novice Stakes over six furlongs at Windsor. Partnered by Rossa Ryan, the two-year-old broke smartly and was soon into a prominent position, settling well on the rails as one of the leading contenders. Travelling strongly throughout, he was asked to quicken inside the final furlong and responded willingly, pulling clear to score by half a length with plenty to like

We were delighted to welcome another winner on Saturday evening (27th June), as Stardancer produced an impressive performance to make a winning debut in the mile handicap at Chepstow. Partnered by Georgia Dobie, the four-year-old broke smartly and was soon settled in a handy position, travelling comfortably throughout the race. Moving into contention approaching the closing stages, he responded well when asked, finding plenty in the final furlong to pull clear and score by

It was a remarkable day for the Beechdown team on Saturday (20th June) as a fantastic week of first-class racing drew to an almighty conclusion, with Orthodox powering home in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes under a thrilling ride from Rossa Ryan to win by three and a half lengths. Coming into this race, we knew we had a tenacious young sprinter on our hands - not only from the way he made his career appearance a very smart debut success first time out at Salisbury, but how he co

Monday (15th June) brought a tremendous result as we welcomed two winning performances, across fixtures at both Chepstow and Windsor. The first success came courtesy of Miss Kodi in the Fillies’ Novice Stakes at Chepstow. The promising two-year-old offspring of Kodi Bear made a striking impression on debut, producing a thoroughly professional performance to score by an outstanding seven lengths. From the moment she entered the paddock, she displayed a notably calm and compose

Our winning streak continued at Pontefract on Tuesday (2nd June) with an impressive debut success from Boleto, a promising newcomer who showed a highly professional attitude on his first racecourse appearance for Middleham Park Racing. Ridden by Callum Rodriguez over six furlongs, Boleto broke smartly and was settled just off the pace through the early stages. Travelling comfortably throughout, he remained well positioned before making his move as the field turned for home. W
