Having qualified for the feature handicap by establishing an official rating of 92 through his performances this season in a targeted campaign, we were thrilled to see his proven form for the all-weather carry him to success once again.

With Rossa Ryan in the saddle, the pair broke well and were quick to set about a strong pace as early leaders.

Having shown progressive form all season, we were delighted to welcome Souer de Flash’s first win, as she stepped onto the all-weather for the first time last week at Kempton (9th October). In the hands of Billy Loughnane, the pair were well placed and travelled well on the heels of the early leader in a prominent third throughout most of the race. Ridden along in closing stages, she ran on gamely inside the final furlong and toughly challenged when asked for more. Although s

We were delighted to see another of our two-year-olds get off the mark this week, as Revoked secured his first career victory in the Handicap at Southwell on Thursday (8th October). Breaking sharply from a handy draw on the rail, the two-year-old settled into a midfield position before making his move approaching the home turn.

We were thrilled to see Castlerock Girl record her first success on just the second time of asking on Wednesday (7th October), as the two-year-old came home in front to land the Novice Stakes at Nottingham by two and three-quarter lengths. With an encouraging ride from Rossa Ryan, Castlerock Girl showed plenty of determination from the break, travelling well before finding another gear in the closing stages to put the race beyond doubt with a small turn of foot. Having made a

It was a great result for Iron Dome on Monday (5th October), as the three-year-old landed his first success on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. Breaking well from the stalls, he was smartly underway under Hector Crouch and quickly established a prominent, front-running position, which he maintained until turning for home. Asked to challenge in closing stages, he showed a determined turn of foot to chase down the leader and responded strongly when coming under pressure. It wa

It was another wonderful day of racing at the weekend, as the progressive two-year-old Satellite of Love landed his first Listed success in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar on Saturday (3rd October). With a very encouraging ride from Paul Mulrennan, the pair broke well from a middle draw and were quick to track over, establishing a prominent position on the far rail. Hitting the front with three furlongs to go, it was clear he was travelling strongly, and Paul did an excel

Breaking well, Hector Crouch soon had the colt well positioned as one of the front runners, tracking the leader’s heels before turning for home. Travelling strongly throughout, the pair came through to challenge in the closing stages before quickening clear, putting

The Beechdown team celebrated an absolutely fantastic day of racing on Saturday (26th September), as Orthodox landed his first Group 1 victory in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket. Following his highly commendable Group 2 success at Royal Ascot, where he dominated the field to win the Norfolk Stakes, a trip across the Channel to Deauville saw conditions prove less than favourable, bringing his unbeaten record to an end. It was therefore a real thrill to see him return to wi

Following a smart first win at Windsor last time out, we were delighted to see Captaincy continue his progressive winning form with another impressive triumph at Pontefract on Thursday (24th September). Having idled slightly leaving the stalls, Callum Rodriguez did an excellent job to find a good rhythm and settle him just behind the early leaders. Always composed and travelling with plenty in hand, he quickly improved around the turn for home, taking on the front-runners b

As a new addition to our string earlier this year, we were delighted to see Courageous Sioux secure back-to-back victories with a comfortable half-length success on her handicap debut at Southwell on Tuesday (22nd September). Racing over the straight five furlongs, this marked her first appearance on an all-weather surface, so it was particularly pleasing to see her handle the conditions so well. She travelled with confidence throughout and, once asked to quicken inside the

Having got her head in front at Haydock last time out, we were delighted to see Silver Sovereign follow up with another smart victory, this time over seven furlongs at Newbury on Friday (18th September) securing success on her handicap debut. In the hands of Hector Crouch, she was nicely positioned on the outside and travelled well throughout. As the pace began to quicken, she responded gamely to the challenge, showing a good attitude to hit the front in the closing stages

As another of our two-year-olds got off the mark this week, we were delighted to see Asgar make a winning performance over seven furlongs in the Nursery Handicap at Yarmouth on Tuesday (15th September).

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.
