Tattersalls 800 Fillies race entry
It seems a little strange to be entering our just broken in babies but today was the final entry day for the £800,000 Tattersalls Fillies sales race. Only around 350 fillies are eligible to enter as it is restricted to horses sold out of Book 1 of the Tattersalls sales. We have entered our as yet unnamed Mark of Esteem filly who seems very forward and has cantered today on Warren Hill.Only 132 horses have entered so the odds look a lot better than the lottery! French Raiding Party
Our next two runners will both be in France. On Monday 26th Crimson Mitre (pictured below) runs in the Prix Radio Evasion at Fontainebleau and on Friday 30th Tidal Fury will be at Enghien-Soisy for the Gr.3 Prix Leopold D'Orsetti. Both horses have been working well at home.
Stable Update
The last couple of months have been very productive for the yard with wins for Maximus Aurelius at Catterick, Tidal Fury at Auteuil and Esthlos (pictured below) at York.Behind the scenes we have been busy preparing for the future with some exciting prospects joining us from the sales. Over the next few updates you will be introduced to the new horses. 
YEARLINGS FOR SALE
Yearling season is upon us and we have already been busy acquiring the following prospects at the Fairyhouse sales that are available for syndication. I have had a lot of luck (and fun!) buying at this sale. There are few flashy pedigrees on offer but it is a rich source of future winners. So Elegant (4 wins) came from this sale for only 3,500 euros. Chestnut colt by Spartacus (born 18th March 2006) - pictured below lower This racy lad looks like he will be an early 2-y-o and is from the family of this years Irish Derby winner SOLDIER OF FORTUNE and Group 1 sprinter DOUBLE FORM. He is a half brother to 6 time winner Summer Magic. As a yard we have always lacked a true sprinter but this colt looks like he might fill the gap. Bay colt by Bishop of Cashel (born 15th April 2006) - pictured below top He is likely to be a mid season juvenille that will have the option of a jumps career as well as racing on the flat. We have had a lot of success with Bishop of Cashel horses with Bill Bennett winning 6 races and Crimson Mitre being one of our most exciting 2-y-os. This chap also has a Derby winning pedigree as DR DEVIOUS is from the same family. He is also half brother to 3 winners including Barney Curley's Cristoforo (11 wins including 2 over hurdles). Email me direct at jjracing@btconnect.com to discuss the syndication of the colts. 
Saturday 8th September
Carlton Scroop ran a good race last night and finished 4th after a fairly long break. Many thanks to apprentice jockey Michael Geran who offered his services after Jamie Spencer was signed off for all his rides. Carlton is not the easiest of rides and Michael did very well to cope with his quirks both before and during the race. I plan to take Tidal Fury (pictured below at Auteuil on Tuesday) back to France on 29th September for another hurdle race. 
Wednesday 5th September
Tidal Fury ran well yesterday at Auteuil and has arrived home safe. It was a very encouraging run and we hope to take him and his owners, the Twelfth Night Syndicate (pictured below with jockey Dean Gallagher) back over to France in the next few weeks.Maximus Aurelius is working well ahead of his trip to Warwick on Thursday and Carlton Scroop will have the assistance of Jamie Spencer on Friday evening at Kempton.
