The horses have been running incredibly well over the last 10 days. We’ve had 4 seconds, a 3rd and Renoir getting his head in front where it matters yesterday at Hereford. Having put in a very good effort on handicap debut at Taunton when beaten less than 2 lengths, Renoir built on that effort when […]

Taunton Wish Granted By The Fairy 🧚 ⭐️
Good Friday Fairy wins for the second time in 12 days at Taunton in the 2 mile 5f handicap chase. GFF has well and truly hit top form in the last fortnight with 2 decisive wins at Wincanton and Taunton. On both occasions he has been partnered by Sam Twiston-Davies who has really gelled and […]
Game, Set & Match…. Colours!🥇🎾⭐️
Game Colours continued a productive few days for the yard with a dominant victory in the 2 mile mares novice hurdle at Lingfield in the hands of Sean Bowen. Colours has improved with every run this season having been placed in each of her 3 starts, latterly finishing 3rd in a £25k handicap at Fakenham […]
A Sprinkling Of Magic From The Fairy 🧚
After a frustrating few weeks, a winner and a second at Wincanton was just what the team needed. The day started in perfect fashion with Good Friday Fairy hosing up in the 2 mile 4f handicap chase in the hands of Sam Twiston-Davies. With first time cheek pieces applied, GFF never missed a beat from […]
A Christmas 🎄 Winner !!
Firstly I’d like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year. Ooh Betty put a disappointing run in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury firmly behind her by making all to win at Kempton in the class 3 £20k handicap. I was very frustrated after Newbury, having been the plan since the summer however […]

Betty Back With A Bang!!
It’s been a hugely exciting last 10 days for the team as we sent out our first runners from our new base at Higher Crockermoor. It goes without saying I was hugely nervous but also excited to get our campaign underway. We so nearly started with a winner at Stratford, Game Colours just getting collared with 100 […]
Ready or not!
Its been over 3 months since we first moved in to our new base at Higher Crockermoor in Dorset and we are now on the verge of sending out our first runners. The last few months have seen the horses settle into their new work routine and surroundings. As with any trainer in new facilities […]
Horses Return To Training In New Surroundings
The 23/24 season was certainly a challenging one for us. Managing 8 winners, a frustrating 16 seconds but with our best prize money tally of over £115,000. In November we knew we had a few horses who weren’t quite right and this theme continued throughout the season. Blood tests showing a viral challenge was lingering […]
