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 […]
Team On Fire 🔥 With 2 More Winners!
The tremendous form of the team shows no sign of stopping with 2 more winners to make it 4 winners and 2 placed efforts from our last 6 runners! We are operating at a 66% strike rate in the last 14 days and over 40% strike rate from all our runners from Higher Crockermoor this […]
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.

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 […]
Bear To Hang Up His Running Shoes & New Syndicate Opportunities!
May has been a quiet month for the yard with just a few runners and the vast majority of the team enjoying some sun on their backs and lots of grass. Although quiet on the racetrack, there has been lots going on in preparation for the horses returning to training in July. All the boxes […]
End of season round up
With the 23/24 season now come to an end, it’s a good time to reflect on what has been a challenging season. We finished with 8 winners (11 last term) and a best ever prize money tally of £116,441. Very early on in the autumn even when nicking a few winners I’ve never been completely […]
Grade 2 3rd for Ooh Betty
With the team being in indifferent form due to a few of the horses being under the weather, it was a welcome tonic to see Ooh Betty run a cracker under Joe Anderson in the Grade 2 mares novice handicap hurdle at Newbury. With underfoot conditions not being optimum, we took our time with her, […]
