The Flaggy Shore made an instant impression last season when bolting up in a Warwick bumper in November. She was then narrowly touched off finishing 2nd in a listed bumper at Market Rasen. She also ran in desperate ground in another listed bumper at Sandown where we looked after her in tough conditions. After a […]

April proved to be a very productive month with some stellar performances. First up was bumper debutante Seedling. A mare who has shown plenty at home even if she is still on the weak side. She settled well, quickened up smartly and despite being forced 5 wide turning in, she went on to score by […]

Largy Panic has always show plenty at home, but lacked a bit of maturity on the track. After 3 qualifying runs he gained an opening mark of 95. On handicap debut he travelled sweetly throughout but rather conked out 3 out at Exeter on softish ground over 2 mile 5f. We decided to give him […]

Secret Des Lune had done little wrong in her first 2 starts, finishing 2nd on debut and then filling the runner up spot on heavy ground on her next run. But back on better ground under a determined Sam Twiston-Davies she was not going to be denied in the bumper at Plumpton yesterday. Popping out […]

A busy few days for us starting at Exeter last Friday with Game Colours. Partnered for the first time by Sam Twiston-Davies, she was positively ridden making all until headed 2 out before quickening up smartly to win decisively by 5 lengths going away. This was a deserved success having not finished out the first […]

The 17th January 2026 will be a date here at Ben Clarke Racing we won’t be forgetting in a hurry. Ooh Betty has been struggling in her 2 starts this season but going into Ascot we were certain we had ironed out a couple of issues that have been preventing her from running to form. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Pancho is a horse who has always shown us plenty at home, but for one reason or another has taken time to reward his […]
