Latest News,

Sadly neither True Britannia or Aryshvic got into their respective races at stratford due to the ballot marks! With juvenile hurdles where none have run their number is drawn from a hat, not ideal but i suppose it is fair!
Further entries are being made for most of the horses but some will be leaving us shortly as we have to reduce numbers!

Disappointment on Sunday, Aryshvic,s bad luck continues, cast herself overnight in her box and has heat in her knee, could not run. She is entered at Stratford on Sunday.
Santera disappointed but was very warm before the race, hot day with plenty of pollen about but apart from that we do not know!
Scarlet Oak is having a stalls test at Leicester today so fingers crossed, she has an entry at Yarmouth.
True Britannia has an entry at Stratford but needs several out in front of her.

Excellent run from WDYK at Brighton, ground was probably too firm for him, changed his legs twice at the bottom of the hill which cost him the race!
Santera goes to Fontwell today, has a lot of weight, not many options until the 20th of June so she had to run!
Aryshvic also goes to Fontwell today, she ran very green on her debut and was still not over the virus, we are hoping to see a different run today but the ground is possibly on the firm side for her.

Not a fast enough pace for True Britannia at Yarmouth but she did run well, she needs a fast pace so that she can sit out the back and come through late. May well run in a hurdle next if ready!
WDYK goes to Brighton today with every chance, the ground may be an issue!
Santera and Aryshvic are being declared for Fontwell on Sunday.

Unlucky run from True Britannia who jumped the crossing road at Brighton, Liam thought she had injured her legs and eased her but she picked up and was a very fast finishing third!
She will have to run at Yarmouth next week as there are few races for her, we would rather have given her another week but this race could be very weak!!!
WDYK, Aryshvic and Santera will all have mutiple entries made starting today. There are going to be too many entries to qoute thewm all but these can be picked up on a daily basis on the racing post site.
Aryshvic has been waiting for the ground and will have come on for her first run, her lungs are now clear of mucus.
Believe it or not there are not that many races for WDYK that will be suitable, he needs good or good to soft ground which should be available now but ideal trips will be difficult so he will be entered everywhere.
Santera has unfortunately gone up 10 lbs which will make life very difficult for her and will either run over 2ml on soft ground or 2ml 4f if better next weekend, she may have to drop back to claiming company.
Highland Homestead is still swollen around his cheekbone and sinus area, it was anasty fall and we will see how he is in a weeks time after further antibiotics and antiinflamatories.
We will try and stall test Scarlet Oak at Yarmouth, she is caming down a little but is so wound up at present.

Very disappointing on Sunday, Kings Majesty looked really well but has clearly gone over the top, he deserves a 2 month break out in the paddock with the other jump horses until the 11th of July when they all go back into training!
Highland Homestead was travelling fine according to plans at Plumpton but his jockey was following a loose horse, do not know why but he did. we think our horse was watching the loose one and failed to pick up at the 4th having a very nasty fall. His head is badly cut and extremely swollen, we will keep you updated!
True Britannia goes to Brighton today, well in at the weights but trip and ground might not be in her favour. She is running without headgear today as she has got too buzzed up before her last 2 runs!
Santera is entered at Aintree on friday, we are keen for her to run but she is not sparkling at present. She too has had a long season!
WDYK is buzzing, he came out of his Lingfield race well, he enjoyed himself without blinkers on and we are not sure whether to run him over 7f or 8f next but we are looking for a race for him next week somewhere. His best runs have come on ground with some cut or the all weather!

Latest News,

pleasing run from by WDYK at LINGFIELD, Nicol followed instructions, in hind sight we probably expected too much first time over a mile but the horse enjoyed and this was his first run for over 3 years without any headgear. Nicol thought he was genuine throughout and that a mile will sut using those tactics bu possibly a little closer to the pace. Alex and I are not sure whether or not 7f would be better, he will be popped over hurdles!
Kings Maj and Highland Homestead both run on sunday in reasonable races, both appear to be well!.
True Britannia will probably run at Brighton.
Santera should go to Aintree on the 15th.

Excellent run from Santera again, nearly brought down at the first but the very young jockey kept his cool and slowly worked her into the race and brought her with a well timed run at the last to get up and win. He rode to instructions which is more than can be said about some of the other rides she has had! Santera is a very brave mare, we expect the handicapper to over burden her now but we will give her a chance in a better race before lowering her sights again. She cannot carry a huge weight!
Kings Maj will probably go to Southwell on Sunday.
Highland Homestead will probably go to Plumpton on Sunday.
True Britannia has many entries, we are not happy with the Lingfield races on Friday and she is in at Windsor and Wolverhampton on Monday.
WDYK has an entry over 1ml on friday and i am keen to just let him run in that without any headgear, held up at the back, as his front running style does not appear to suit at present!
Aryshvic is waiting for some cut in the ground.
Scarlet Oak is going for a stalls test shortly.
