We’ve always had a lot of time for Miletus, but he has been, and still is, backward both mentally and physically. He’s a big frame at the moment, so it was encouraging to see him handle the soft ground so well as it was probably more ability than anything. Mentally he is still a big baby and was flicking his ears throughout, however he was very tough to make all. We’ll see what the handicapper does now, but you wouldn’t really know where his limit is ..read more

Maghlaak is beautifully bred, being the last foal of our 1000 Guineas winner Ghanaati, and has plenty of ability. He hasn’t been the easiest to train, but hopefully his problems are behind him and he can progress throughout the season. It was a good performance, in energy sapping ground at Goodwood, after a year off. He’ll probably end up getting 12 furlongs, and we honestly don’t know where he could end up ..read more

The trip up to Mussleburgh proved worthwhile as Equality put up an impressive performance to win the feature handicap. The ground proved to be too quick for him in Dubai, but he enjoyed his trip out there in the warm weather and came home looking in great shape. On the back of his runs the handicapper dropped him enough to run in one of these top class handicaps, however after this victory he will probably have to go back into pattern company where he proved very effective last year winning a Group 3 and placing third in a Group 1 ..read more

Robbo’s easy win at Chelmsford came with great relief as we got off the mark for 2024. We haven’t had many runners, and the majority have run well with a lot being placed. However it was great to get in the winners enclosure, especially with a horse who looks like he could be a progressive three year old this year. Gelding him definitely helped as he wasn’t concentrating 100% last year, and he looked much more professional in his race ..read more

It was great that our final runner of 2023 was a winner. Kodiac Thriller really deserved his win at Lingfield after a couple of near misses. Will Cox gave him a great ride from the front, and used the horses experience when it mattered. The horse himself is a good stamp of a horse with plenty of size about him, and could make up into a nice three year old handicapper next year ..read more

The step up in trip and a first run in handicap company did the trick for Cadogan Gardens as she won cosily at Wolverhampton. She’s a May foal so there is still plenty of improvement to come, and hopefully she can prove to be a fun filly for her owners Chelsea Thoroughbreds. It was also great to be part of David Probert’s 1500 winner - David has ridden plenty of winners for us and is very much one of our go to jockeys when we can get him ..read more

It was very special to see the colours of Ann Plummer and her family come home in front on a son of Phoenix Of Spain, as The Ice Phoenix scored at Lingfield. The Irish National Stud are also involved with this horse, which made it even more pleasing. The Ice Phoenix is a big, rangy horse who has more than a look of his dad about him, he also has his laid back temperament. As he grows and matures over the winter we should see a much stronger horse next year, and we are really looking forward to seeing what he can do ..read more

Rukaana has always shown promise at home, but has taken a while to get things together on the racecourse. He’s a big horse, with a galloping action and should go further in time ..read more

Free Nation is a horse who has promised a lot and let himself down with his behaviour at the racecourse. Following a gelding operation, and quite a lot of schooling at the stalls, he finally showed his true ability at Windsor. He still ran around a bit, and looked green, but was well on top at the end of the race. He’s a horse with plenty of talent who should improve ..read more

Full Regalia was sent to us in the summer with one mission and that was to win a race, so after a couple near misses it was great to get her head in front. She did it easily at Chelmsford, and as she appears to enjoy the all weather surface she is probably one to keep going with at the moment ..read more
