Phew, a winner!
And a great one at that. It was a huge, satisfying relief to watch Mr Ray Anderson Green’s EXIT TO WHERE and Conor bolt up at Ayr yesterday in the pouring rain! This long awaited win is a credit to my Head Lad Robert,...
May to November all in one day!
The Team are riding out in full winter waterproofs! There was a nice quantity of rain yesterday. The grass gallop will ride well tomorrow but we need heat to make the grass grow! We are making for Ayr today with 4 runners. Kayleigh, Ellen...
Welcome to May!
Rain forecast today. Needed! We had some good results over the weekend. Most notably, CLEARANCE 2nd at Doncaster, TOKARAMORE 4th at Hexham and JUMP THE GUN 3rd at Hamilton. Hexham was a bit of a nonsense on Saturday evening. The 3m Chase resembled a bumper after they...
Smart Lass
Delighted with Smart Lass’ efforts at Musselburgh on Thursday. Still no winner but a great run for 2nd behind a very useful horse. Voix Du Reve tried his wee heart out in the fast paced 2m chase at Punchestown. All is well with him...
A great morning
We had a great morning on the gallops yesterday working with Mulholland Media and AW Jenkinson. The aim was to get some drone images for an exciting new project. We’ve already had a sneak preview of some of David Mulholland’s work and the shots...
Chilly start!
Chilly start! The sun’s out but the wind brrr! Camille Macdonald’s NUBOUGH ran a blinder last night at Ayr and we’re all delighted especially as Camille has been very patient with him! 2nd by a neck is painful though! I’m still pleased. You need luck...
Dry again but showers
Dry again but we’ve had showers. Things are starting to green up. The horses at grass are rugged up at night as it’s cool. Mixed results yesterday. A 3rd and 3x 4th’s from 8 runners but still seeking the illusive winner! Lots of positives to...
Much, much cooler this morning
What a brilliant weekend of wall to wall sunshine! No runners over the weekend but we hit the ground running this morning! We are at Ayr, Southwell and Thirsk with 8 in total. Most of the Team started earlier than usual to ride out...
Morning
I’m at Doncaster already for The Goffs Breeze Up Sale. It’s a crisp 4 degrees but it’s to reach 15/16. I have a couple of orders to fill which is exciting for the yard. Rob is in charge at home. Kayleigh is going to...
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to Her Majesty The Queen. A quieter occasion than normal for her but another remarkable milestone at 95 years young! I’m at Newcastle this morning with 4 gallopers. We left at 5am. We have on board, Sleight (an unraced 3yo), Rose Bandit (an...
