Wednesday 7th February

Featherlight should have been racing at Lingfield today but was balloted out. Her next entry will probably now be later in the month. The 2-year olds are cantering very well and have been through the stalls without a problem. Scott has been progressing very well since his return.

Pictured below are Carlton Scroop, Lady Nimue and The Bonus King at the Severals trotting rings.

Friday 2nd February

Simon Holt and a film crew from Channel 4 spent the morning at the yard to film a feature on Tidal Fury to be shown on the day of the Arkle.

We also had Featherlight out in preparation for her run at Lingfield next Wednesday. Orchard House and Scott had flu jabs so will have an easy day tomorrow.

Carlton Scroop's stall-test ban ends on the 16th so we are taking him through the stalls every day in preparation - so far, so good. The Bonus King has returned to Exeter House and is making very good progress.

Monday 29th December

Today was Scott's first day being ridden in almost a year. Tidal Fury (in the background) doesn't look impressed! I have stepped up the work for Kleos and Prince Joshua and they seem to be enjoying the quicker pace.

Pictured on Scott is Faye who joined us from the Northern Racing College back in early November. Today we welcome Katie to the team, also from the Racing College. The training the College gives is excellent and anybody looking to get into riding racehorses for a living should have a look at their website at:

Sunday 28th January

Tidal Fury (pictured below) has come home fine after his 52 lengths (yes, fifty-two!) victory yesterday. It was the first race since he was a 2-year old that he did not have to travel overnight and it was good to have him safely at home so soon after the race. He is now unbeaten over 2 miles over fences and will now go straight to The Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival.

Friday 26th January

Quite a busy morning with Orchard House, Esthlos and Lady Asheena having a canter on Bury Hills. Featherlight and Carlton Scroop partnered Tidal Fury on Warren Hill before his race tomorrow at Southwell.

We introduce our two year olds quiet early to the stalls. Pictured below is Arthurian following our Nayef colt through the practice stalls at the top of Long Hill. All the colts went through easily.

Thursday 25th January

Most of the yard on Warren Hill this morning for a single canter (the 2-year old colts pictured below). Tidal Fury heads to Southwell on Saturday in very good form. Elli Lewtia will be declared for Wolverhampton on Sunday which will be her final race for us as she goes to the sales on 8th Feb.

Scott has settled in well and will start to be ridden next week. Our Bishop of Cashel colt finally has a name - Crimson Mitre.
