Good Morning and Happy Friday. We had a fantastic morning on Wednesday for the Owners Group visit. It seemed to be a resounding success. It was a pleasure to let everyone have an insight into things behind the scenes at a racing yard. We received some lovely compliments on the yard, staff and horses. Thank you to everyone that attended and we hope you all had a great time. It was lovely to meet so many of you. Massive thank you to Claire at Hands and Heels Photography for the brilliant pictures of the team. Head over to her page on Instagram for a look. Pictured below is PEARL WARRIOR under Alan Doyle infront of all of his owners!
We were also lucky enough to get a guest appearance from one of the top UK National Hunt jockeys, Daryl Jacobs, who came in to ride out thanks to Alan Doyle! He needs to be a wee bit sharper out the stalls but we let him off because he rode work well round the grass! It was great to have him in. He is pictured below on Lets Be Lucky Racing’s, JUMP THE GUN!
We had 3 runners on Wednesday and 1 yesterday. GLEN AVA ran a lovely race for us on Wednesday at Perth in the 5.40pm for a very respectable 4th place for Castle Racing Scotland under Conor O’Farrell. It was great to get Mr Penman’s colours over jumps! We are looking forward to seeing how this lovely filly progresses. Castle Racing Scotland’s colours were back out yesterday but back to the flat, where the beautiful RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE picked up 5th place at York under Andrew Mullen for Castle Racing Scotland. Another consistent run from him. He is pictured below being paraded the day before infront of the Owners Group! He certainly loves the attention!
We have just the one runner heading to Hamilton today with Lindsay! Wishing her owners the best of luck:
