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 […]

January round up.

After a quiet few months of the season, January has seen the team burst into form. Good Friday Fairy has made a bright start to his chasing career, not being out the first 3 in all 4 starts this season and winning on 2 of those occasions at Fontwell & Uttoxeter. Now he is beginning […]

A Friday Winner To Sign Off 22/23 Season With!
