Month: October 2019

We are excited to have purchased three horses at the Tattersalls horses-in-training sale this week. We purchased talented sprinters Alfie Solomons and Saaheq for our new partnerships and Percy’s Prince a recent winner at Kempton who was purchased by Avril Lewis.

Having finished a close second at Yarmouth last week, Dutch Story got his head in front to win the ‘Peter Dunnett 21 Year Memorial Handicap’ at the same track today! Ridden by Martin Dwyer, Dutch Story took the lead four furlongs out and went on to win convincingly from Confrerie by eight lengths. We are delighted for owner breeders Bob and Pauline Scott and co-owners David and Lori Bevan. Well done to Eric Keane who looks after Dutch Story at home. 

We are delighted that Manucci won at Bath today for owners John Connolly and Odile Griffith. Stepping up in trip on his handicap debut, he won the ‘Silvestre De Sousa’s Exclusive Blog starsportsbet.co.uk Handicap’ under Martin Dwyer.  He handled the testing ground and took command of the race two furlongs out to stay on well in the final furlong to win well.  Well done to Eric Keane who looks after him.

A long journey proved worthwhile when Aegeus won the ‘Cronnie Creative Median Auction Maiden Stakes’ at Newcastle last night.  Ridden by Graham Lee, he took the lead over one furlong out, was hard pressed inside the final furlong by Ravenscar but kept on well to win by a head.

There were lots of top class pedigrees on show at Tattersalls Book 1 Yearling Sale this week and we were delighted to come away with this beautiful Oasis Dream filly to train. We are looking forward to Book 2 starting on Monday and also the horses-in-training sale at the end of the month. Please do get in touch if you would like to receive a catalogue for any sale or would like to join Mark and I at the sales over the next few weeks viewing and purchasing horses.

Diamond Falls made his racecourse debut on Tuesday 1st October at Kempton and finished third in the Novice Auction Stakes under Kieran Shoemark. We are delighted with how he ran, he made progress from two furlongs out and ran on well inside the final furlong up through horses to take third in the last strides of the race. This exciting two-year-old is for sale and more information can be found on the For Sale section of our website.
