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.

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.

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.

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

Saturday (30th May) marked an unforgettable day for the team at Beechdown as we celebrated a fantastic one-two finish in the Betway Silver Bowl Handicap, with Carlisle hosting the prestigious mile contest after an abandoned card at Haydock, and proved it to be a day to remember. Represented by Blue Courvoisier and Langstone, we arrived with two progressive three-year-olds whose recent form suggested they could be competitive. Even so, we could hardly have hoped for a better

It was great to see our successful form continue at Windsor, as Satellite of Love made a winning debut in a competitive maiden over six furlongs on Saturday (23rd May). Ridden to victory with a very encouraging execution from Georgia Dobie, the two-year-old colt broke smartly and quickly sprung into action with his mind firmly on the job from the start. Taking up a front running position, we were definitely well-placed from a favourable draw but this meant he could quickly e

It was a very smart career start for Crossbar on Wednesday (20th May) at Kempton, who landed his debut first time out in the Novice Stakes over seven furlongs on the all-weather. Whilst showing promise at home, his size and development has been underlined by his owners’ patience and Crossbar can now show his potential. He broke slowly and showed signs of greenness, but after building momentum he quickly moved into contention on the home straight and made confident headway, as

We were delighted to welcome Redorange back to winning ways on Monday (18th May), as he rose to victory in the Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap at Windsor over five furlongs. After running in a competitive handicap four days prior at York, where he finished in eighth place and was only beaten four and a half lengths in a field of 21, he came into this race with much more authority - made all the more apparent as he stole the lead in closing stages. Always looking like he had

Song Of The Clyde took his first step in Pattern company and won admirably on Saturday (16th May) for his lucky owners, Middleham Park racing. Having started the season well, he finished 4th at Newmarket in handicap company but was giving plenty of weight away to the horses that finished in front of him on that occasion. Saturday’s performance showed a huge step forwards after making the running under Hector Crouch. Always travelling smoothly, he battled off the highly touted

Behaving impeccably and showing a really positive turn of foot over five furlongs, Orthodox made a very stylish debut at Salisbury on Thursday (14th May). Breaking smartly under a ride from Rossa Ryan, he travelled behind the early leaders at a very steady pace which turned into a dash from three furlongs out. He quickened clear readily and pricked his ears in the closing stages showing signs of greenness but was never in doubt, with a pleasing success. He is from a family th

Following up on a pleasing debut over the same course and distance only two weeks before, we were delighted to see Sky Secret in the winner’s enclosure after breaking his maiden in emphatic style, with a start to finish lead over the five furlongs at Leicester on Saturday (9th May). As you’d expect from any two-year-old in early career stages, he showed signs of greenness as he hung inside the final furlong, but Jack Nicholls did a fantastic job to keep him running on confide

It was a tremendous day of racing on Friday (1st May) as Coppull put in an almighty display at Ascot, to land the Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes (Group 3) by a neck on his seasonal reappearance. With Rossa Ryan in the saddle, he was drawn wide but was quick away from the stalls and established a prominent position tracking early leaders. Always travelling well, he began to creep into contention as they hit the two-furlong pole, but he held on with a remarkable turn of foot, qu
