Tuesday preview written on Sunday as may be a tad busy tomorrow... I'd expect the ground to have dried out a bit more and there is a chance of some showers which would help all our runners if they materialise. Orkney Blue We start with two runners in the 1pm; Orkney Blue (Bruce) and [...]
Misty and cold here in Geneva airport as as we await news from the Jedforest point-to-point where Not the Chablis runs under Jess and Jesika is riding Diable de Sivola; both under the Jockey Start banner. A great run from Ned Tanner yesterday at Haydock, up in grade and carrying more weight he was 2nd, well [...]
Fine weather this week, frost still a threat further south though and Haydock must survive a 8:30am inspection tomorrow. If it goes ahead the ground could be very holding and we have one runner, Ned Tanner in the 12:10. He won over course and distance last time out and whilst this is a deeper race he should [...]
Cold and gentle snow here this morning, not settling. Tricky times weather wise and Musselburgh controversially abandoned after 5 inspections on Friday; it is subjective, the racecourse management thought it was raceable as did the trainers involved, others thought otherwise - the dissenters won, if it had been up to the management they would have raced. [...]
Cold and frosty today, touch and go as to whether racing would be on at Ayr this afternoon but luckily it was and we had a good day with Hombre winning in fine style and Gaillimh A Stor just being beaten into second. Hombre wins at Ayr On to Musselburgh tomorrow which is subject [...]
Dreadful weather at Musselburgh today with driving sleet making the conditions very testing. Platin Moon ran too free but will have learnt a lot, Anamanda didn’t get home over the three miles on softer ground and Ginger Mail ran well and was still playing a part when badly hampered by a faller at the last. On to [...]
Brutal weather here last two mornings, heavy rain and gales and hats off to the Team for battling through it to exercise all the horses and ensure they are kept warm and well fed, and of course to the travelling team who set off in the early hours for Haydock yesterday where we had a WINNER! [...]
Blustery this evening and looks like another storm coming in before it turns colder later in the week. A low expectations sort of day at Kelso and happy enough with the runners which ran either as their odds suggested they would or better - Burning it Up a good 5th at 66-1, Split Stone ran well [...]
Dull and damp this afternoon but "open" weather which is always a result at this time of year. After a quiet few days on the racing front we are planning to become very busy and hope to have the best part of 30 runners over the next two weeks; maybe a winner or two, you never [...]
HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM TEAM KINNESTON! A quiet afternoon but another storm on its way so our horses destined for Haydock tomorrow have just arrived at the track. The ground is likely to be soft/heavy which shouldn't be a bother for our two runners and we start with My Kiwi Girl in the Listed Mares [...]
