Sunday 17th December

Quite a cold morning but thankfully only one lot going out - Featherlight and Elli Lewtia (pictured below). Tidal Fury looked very well this morning after yesterday's win. Entries have been made for Bill Bennett and Orchard House at Kempton on Friday 22nd.

The Horseracing Regulatory Authority (the new name for the Jockey Club) have inspected our new additional yard, Marsh Stables, which is a welcome addition as our numbers have increased again.

Many of the new yearlings have been named:
Maximus Aurelius (Night Shift yearling colt)
Lady Asheena (Daylami yearling filly)
Arthurian (Daylami yearling colt)

Saturday 16th December

Tidal Fury's win today at Haydock was his 6th over jumps from only 13 starts and have brought his earning up to £218,599. He is a dream to train and both myself and his owners the Twelfth Night syndicate would like to thank the lads at home for preparing him so well. Head Lad Nigel and his team at Exeter House have done a wonderful job and the horse looked superb as usual.

Thursday 7th December

A quiet morning on the heath as the lads (and trainer) paid the price for the excellent yard Christmas party which was held last night. A good time was had by all. Many thanks to the owners who chipped in for the lads throughout the year...your generosity was drunk wisely!

Monday 4th December

Part of the enjoyment of going racing with us is the opportunity to discuss tactics before the race with your jockey. We like our owners to feel they can make a contribution to the debate on how best to win with their particular horse.

Pictured is owner Ken Snell with young National Hunt jockey James Davies. We try to get Leighton Aspell to ride the majority of our jumps horses but James has ridden on occasions when Leighton has been unavailable.

••• Congratulations to owner Medina Jessup for the win this afternoon of Esthlos in the 8f maiden at Kempton •••

Esthlos has been running consistantly well and is a credit to the lads in the yard and Pete our vet who have brought him back from a near fatal injury (fractured cannon bone) to the winners enclosure. He is one of the lads favourite horses and is another success for our homebreds.

Thats win number 11 for the year (6 flat & 5 jumps).

Friday 24th November

Leighton Aspell came in for a schooling session that included Orchard House (pictured below). He is entered for a flat race at Kempton on Monday but one more practise at home will see him out over hurdles. He jumps so well that his future will ultimately lie over fences.

Esthlos goes to Kempton tomorrow with a very good chance. Tidal Fury has an entry at Ayr on Wednesday. Gaelic Roulette came home from Uttoxeter OK but this morning is slightly lame on her near-hind. It is only a minor set-back for her and she will be out again soon.
