We’ve been very satisfied with how the winter horses have been running since they started at the end of October. 6 winners and operating at a 20% strike rate since October 1st, but even so we’ve still had our fair share of frustrations. The highlight has been unearthing 3 promising 4 year olds in The […]

A Perfect Performance For Paterson At Lingfield
After winning very easily on debut for the yard just over a year ago A Perfect Day picked up a little injury preventing from running again last season. He made a most pleasing return at Chepstow just over 3 weeks ago finishing a staying on 3rd. We were very confident he would take a massive […]
🔥 💥 3 Winners In 6 Days 💥 🔥
The horses have been in great form over the past week or so bagging 3 winners. Ri Na Cuirte hasn’t always looked the easiest of rides in his races however he certainly put his best hoof forward at Exeter in the 2mile 7f conditional jockeys handicap hurdle in the hands of Toby McCain-Mitchell. He returned […]
Pancho Picking Up Where He Left Off…..
We tasted our 2nd winner at Ffos las in 12 days with El Bandido Pancho winning comfortably on seasonal reappearance in the 2mile 4f novices handicap hurdle under Rex Dingle yesterday.

24/25 Season Overview
The move to Higher Crockermoor last July has rewarded us with our most successful season to date. We have netted our highest prize money tally since starting training and had several high profile ITV runners who ran with real credit. It’s always a big challenge learning the best ways to use new gallops but we […]
Pancho Isn’t For Passing 🥇
El Bandido Pancho in the hands of Rex Dingle secured a well deserved first victory at Newton Abbot in the 2 mile 5 f novices handicap hurdle. All of last season we struggled to keep Pancho healthy which resulted in him gaining a low opening handicap mark. He fell when looking the winner on handicap […]
Ooh Betty Is Just Denied In Thriller🏴 🥉
We ventured to Scotland for the second time in 3 weeks for another £100,000 race this time in the Scottish Champion Hurdle under Ben Jones. Betty was smartly away over the first few hurdles before losing her pitch through the heavily watered ground entering the back straight. She looked booked for 5th jumping 3 out […]

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 […]
