Yearly Archives: 2019

Just got run out of things in the closing stages. Original quote: "Danboru - Fell last time out at Bangor when running a good race. We've given him time to get over that but is also up 5lbs for that run. However, we feel the drop in trip - back to 2m4f - will suit,…

Decent run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Broughtons Rhythm - It's been frustrating as I've not managed to get his head in front. He has been a consistent sort who travels and jumps well and I'm hoping we can get his head in front soon - hopefully today! Should not be far away."

Might need to brush up her jumping but a solid run - should be winning soon. Original quote: "Going the right way now and we were pleased with her third (of 16) last time at Taunton. Down a pound for that and similar race conditions today - looks a slightly easier race on paper so…

Not beaten far - should be winning soon! Original quote: "Moveonup - Much better last time when stepped up to 7f and a close second at Wolves - only fifth career run here today and running on the fibresand for the first time. We think he'll like the surface and Luke a plus in the…

Stayed on well to take this. Original quote: "No No Maestro - This will be his first race. Marley has been ready to run for a while and I’ve been waiting for some nice safe ground for him. He’s not flash in his work at home, which I believe is typical of Mahler’s but he’s…

Much better from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Iconic Muddle - A nice horse which goes quite well but back off a long break (140 days) so probably best-watched for now. Will improve for this. "

Spot-on from Jamie. Original quote: "Some Day Soon - Has some excellent form to his name and has done little wrong except bump into a couple of smart sorts. We gave him a break in order to wait for the new season and this looks an ideal opportunity. We'd be disappointed if he's not winning…

Went one better than last year - top call from Gary. Original quote: "Gossiping - Second in this race last year (8lbs lower this time) and hopefully Gossiping can improve on that this year. Not the best of draws (8), but always runs a good race and heads here in form off the back of…

Just failed in her three-timer bid, but still a top run. Original quote: "Arishka - Bids for a hat-trick and hopefully she can continue her good form - doesn't have the best of draws (8) but a small enough field helps on that score."

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Mr Scaramanga - Only one try at this trip so far and he was keen and did nt really stay so depends how the race goes for him but could go well at a big price if things worked out for him. Top rider having his first go on him."

Nice e/w return. Original quote: "King Cool - Course and distance winner and at this level KING COOL has shown consistency - therefore, I expect strong each-way claims in a race that conditions will suit."

Another solid run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Sands Chorus - Been in great form of late - was a close fourth over this trip at Haydock last time and actually a pound lower today. Quicker ground too but that is fine and has run well at the track in the past - no reason…

Spot-on from Gary! Original quote: "I hope that Kempton will suit VISION CLEAR rather better than Plumpton where he has been rather unlucky. VISION CLEAR is working well and although a decent race I would like to think he has strong each-way claims today."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Pirate King - First run back after a break but we thought we'd bring him back to Donny as he won well here last season. Eased in grade and 4lbs lower in the ratings helps too. Trying him back up in trip and runs as if it'll…

Top effort from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Tulfarris - Ran a cracker first time out for the yard - when third at Newbury - and will be suited by the step up to a mile. It's a trappy race today but they have had some rain overnight, which is a big plus!"

Great winner for Gary. Original quote: "RYDAN has proved difficult to win with but he had a good 2018 season and ran with consistency and was seldom out of the frame picking up a couple of wins as well. Ran well here first outing of the season in 2017 when he finished second after a…

Gutsy win for Simon's horse. Original quote: "Chica de la Noche - Been in good form all Winter and likely to be just as effective on turf still. Should be thereabouts in an ordinary race with top jockey who knows her well."

Bang there for Scott and place money landed. Original quote: "Port Soif - Done well since joining us two runs back. Both runs for us have been here at the track so we know the surface suits and gets in here off the same rating as last time, when a close 4th (of 12). Might…

Another solid effirt from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - Winning run came to an end last time out at Chelmsford but the return to Southwell is a plus with his best AW runs here on the fibresand. 3lbs higher than last win, which came over 6f just two runs ago. Up to 7f…

Spot on from Lee - only got chinned on the line. Original quote: "Maazel - Back to Brighton today after running fifth here last time, but certainly had his excuses that day. Was almost down on his nose three out and then got squeezed for room so actually did well to finish just under 4…
