Bluenose Belle ran an excellent third at Kempton yesterday under Kieran Shoemark. We held her up on this occasion and she travelled well to deliver her challenge in the final two furlongs staying on well to the line. She would have been more suited by a stronger pace but it was a pleasing performance and […]

We decided to give Huntingdon a miss with Elfride on Sunday and she will hopefully go to Chepstow next Wednesday where conditions will suit her better should she get a run. She appears in good form at home and with the right conditions she will undoubtedly win again off her mark this season. It was […]

It was great to welcome so many owners to the gallops on Saturday for our monthly gallop get together. Visitors enjoyed breakfast baps and watched two lots working on the gallops. There were many favourable comments with how the horses were looking and hopefully we will have a few entries coming up in the next […]

We have made an entry for Sun Tracker (pictured) at Nottingham on Thursday and will take a view tomorrow. He ran with great credit at Wolverhampton last Monday and we are keen to give him a go on the turf before the season ends. There are not many other opportunities on the grass for him […]

Fighting Poet runs today in the 3.50pm at Brighton – a course he has run very well at in his last four races. Billy Loughnane once again takes the ride who has won on him previously. The ground will possibly be too soft for him on this occasion but he coped well enough on similar […]

Sun Tracker runs today in the mile and half handicap at Wolverhampton run at 8pm. He ran well at the course on his debut for us and hopefully he can return to that sort of form. He has been off with a couple of minor injuries and will hopefully be competitive on the flat before […]

Kieran Shoemark reported that Bluenose Belle did not like being pressured from the front in the mile and a half handicap at Kempton on Wednesday. On her previous run at the track she had an easy lead and perhaps we will try dropping her in more on her next run. She appears to enjoy jumping […]

Fighting Poet runs today in the 4.10pm at Brighton. Twice a course winner, hopefully he will once again put up a competitive display for the Adlestrop Club. Sean D Bowen takes the ride again claiming three pounds and although it is a competitive affair he appears in good form at home. Bluenose Belle is declared […]

Shibuya Song was a bit outpaced on the sharper track at Southwell on Thursday but once again finished the race strongly and we will endeavour to find another race for her on a more galloping track on her favoured good ground in the coming weeks. Roody Toody did not find a lot in the straight […]

Roody Toody steps up to a mile at Kempton tomorrow in the 8pm. Once again she will be ridden by Rab Havlin who recommended the increase in trip and hopefully this will bring about an improvement in her performance. The evening is sponsored for Heros – the great charity of which I am a Trustee […]
