Blustery this morning, the horses fresh and well on the gallops before we head to Ayr. A rare Catterick runner for the team tomorrow with Ozzy Cosmo running in the 15.00, ground is good to soft and there are 10 runners. Connor O'Farrell rides. Ozzy Cosmo Whilst this track is unlikely to seem him [...]
Fresh today, westerly wind, odd shower and quite cold still but can feel spring is round the corner. Soft ground at Ayr tomorrow and forecast suggests that it will be wet rather than holding ground. Hope so as we have 5 horses declared all of which have nice each way chances if they run to their [...]
Slightly milder now, wind in the west and some sunny days this week. Off to Newcastle tomorrow with one runner; Boolamore Classic in the 13.35 with Bruce on board, the ground is good to soft and 15 run. Boolamore Classic after winning at Ayr last January "Boo" has become frustrating since winning last January [...]
The sun returns to Kinneston, a glorious morning, very welcome. A mixed day at Kelso; a career best from Lance les Des who was just denied in his first handicap, Ginger Mail packed it in at the cross hurdle for the third consecutive time at Kelso - too many battles up that hill I fear, and [...]
Rain and sleet, a cold easterly wind, one dry day so far in 2026 and 91mm of rain in the first 12 days of February. No wonder it is heavy for Kelso's fixture tomorrow, the east has had the worst of it and Kelso no exception. Does sound like it will be deep ground but hopefully [...]
A quieter and slightly milder sort of day but the weather still stuck in the same pattern. Delighted with Orkney Blue winning at Carlisle last week, finally rewarding his owners' patience by turning into the type of staying chaser we always hoped he would be. Our other three runners all ran with credit so a good [...]
The cold east wind and drizzle returns after a fine day at Musselburgh yesterday. Two great days' racing and delighted with our runners; The G Wizard and Whiskey on Ice filling the runner up spot and Platin Moon coming a close 3rd. No winners but three career bests, Bel Amigo was also running a tremendous race [...]
The cold east wind is back with intermitent showers of rain and sleet. A tough day at Ayr yesterday with Donny Boy suffering a pelvic injury when in the process of running and jumping like he was back to his best. The veterinary team at Ayr were first class and he is back home; whilst the [...]
The sun is shining! Whatever next, been a rare site this month but very welcome thank you. Very nearly a fairytale comeback for Dom in extreme conditions at Newcastle yesterday; Burning it Up just denied on the nod in a photo - so close but great to have the horse back to form. Same can't be [...]
The cold east wind with one and off rain persists; been like this for a week now and this pattern looks set for the next fortnight, the only changes being wetter and colder from time to time - doom and gloom! And wetter it looks like being at Newcastle tomorrow where we have two horses declared [...]
