Paul not only do you have the best 3yos but you have somehow bribed the judges as well. I watched the finish, paused it, watched t again and nowhere do I see your horse in front of Vinyl Cafe. At least it was close. I will avoid soft ground with her from now on as clearly wants it good or better

John well done on the Gold Cup at least I am getting closer


And well done Vinny on 1-3 in Commonwealth. The winner looks really good as I really liked Bad Moon Rising. Shimna Cantata might given us a race but is in the Diamond Jubilee. Hopefully will take revenge in The Diamond Jubilee as expecting there to be much slower pace which will suit Waterfall.

I had a great day in the Nh with 4 winners

Volcanic Eruption showed she is one of the best 2m5 novice chases by winning easily
Rough Weather showed she has a huge chance in the Triumph
Machengoidi showed his amazing acceleration after getting outpaced. I managed to get past the ultra consistent Float like A Sommerfly for the first time
Shogun Came from a long way back to win. Will be aimed at the Champion Bumper where the hill will suit


Well done to all winners. Thanks to all who put this together. The pre show was great. I'm guessing Nick is pretty upset about the Commonwealth. The suggestions that uploads are the week after Ascot may be a good one.

Ah sure listen Leon you can't beat the brown envelope


Many thanks John still pinching myself really as every single one of my horses are American Bred and
all come from Carrick Boy so coming into the season I thought that might go against them but they all
seem to be adaptable to what ever happens in a races as you know yourself a crazy amount of work goes
into them.

Well done on the Gold Cup I'd love a rematch next year i plan to export in the hunt at 6,7,8,9, & 10
would be great if they have a rivalry over the next few season and we might meet again this year in
the Prix Cadran if its in the schedule.

Paul he'll comeback for another season or two, I think people should bring back more of the top class horses. I think a good league horse is a good league horse, Coigach was never the best in my trials after the 1st year but she loved the way the league races were run and would turn around form with my other horses. My horses are based on one horse encosta about and he's from November and so if my new sprinter from a different line doesn't pan out then it's goodbye to the flat team, I don't have the time to try different things as well as play my jumps game. I doth my cap to anyone who has a full flat and jumps team.

3 winners on the day including 1-2 in the wokingham big day for a small trainer like me thanks for all the work fellas brilliant stuff on the previews and well done to all the winners

Poo day, 5 seconds in the first 5 NH races was enough for me to stop watching.....

I'll swap u seconds for my fallers . 43 runs over fences and 11 falls , falling at 27%

My horses cant bleeping jump

That will be those small builds

I would say put them in jump training for 3 or 4 years and they will be golden.

Well my first week in the SO7 league is over and what a shocking display by my flat horses. One horse placed 3rd in a maiden and seven who finished about last. I have spent most of my time breeding flat horses and thought I was making great progress, every couple of generations my flat horses seemed to be getting better and better, sometimes improving by 5 lengths on their sires. God knows how poorly the sires would have performed in the league.

Back to the drawing board for me.


The NH was a pleasant surprise. I spent very little time on the hunt side of things compared to the flat. I never counted it but probably 80 flat seasons, (spread over a couple of saves) V's 18 NH seasons.

I only raced 6 x NH horses this week, most of which were in group races, and 3 of them placed, a 2nd, 3rd and 4th. White Knight, who I thought was my best horse, fell early in his race and the other two are still running. The two who are still running are Hurdlers, the others were Chasers.

Really happy with my day.

Waterfall gave me my first G1 winner ever in a sprint and my first g1 winner at Acot since S03 about 10 years ago

NH was amazing, sorry Josh. But really enoyed the Leopardstown races. Unendliche Geschichte showed her class and both Gi joe and Lap of The Gods won G1's and give me a strong hand in the gold cup. Surprised Lateral Thinkinng beat Night and Day, which was a bit of shock. Hail to the Victor fell and Fire Fox somehow managed to win, which was another shock. Couldn't be more pleased with my NH winners.

Well done to Gray on that 4 timer with Sinn Script.

Thanks for the pre view shows they were great

Pretty below par day 3 for me, however all 5 of my newcomers have shown me I'm heading in the right direction;

Xinyi Player - Comfortable winner of the Commonwealth I thought, an could be a force in the 6f races going forward

Xinyi Nightngale - 3rd in the commonwealth, an shown enough ability there on ground she wont have liked, if anywhere comes up soft, she's your horse

Hefei Delta - 6th Golden Jubilee, came from the absolute clouds to finish like a rocket, no pace at all destroyed his chances but give him a race with pace an he won't be far off

Putian Crus - 2nd Hardwicke Stakes, beaten a head by the very good Sinn Script, could be decent things to come here, a very promising run

Putian Bargain - 5th 1m1 Maiden. She will really need soft ground an 1m2 so a promising run, if she gets her conditions I don't think she'll be pegged back from her front running style.

Thx to all involved in the shows an running the races etc, a great job, well done to Paul too, utterly dominant at Ascot.

Probably is, but because the game doesn't like them and everyone else likes to get shot of them i'm going to rescue and save them Plus no bloody way are my getting shot of half my jumps team, I don't have many horses.

Day 1 went well few winners and places Day 2, 3 shocking.

Fable Master - In the 1m2f 2yo race a class above any in the race and Rosiemary Murphy staying on for 2nd. If the ground comes up soft for any races over a mile she will be hard to beat.

Grade 2 win over jumps. That's about it really.

Congrats to all the winners and places. Paul clearing up on the flat and Leon showing his form over jumps.

Thanks to the team again for all the hard work behind the scenes.

Cheers Paul, have to admit, it was a joy to watch, it actually done similar the week before in the Jubilee but the race had been a crawl so didn't quite get there. This is my 3rd best 6f horse in the league too, so hopefully good things to come in what looks like a quality distance in the league. I might struggle to find races for them all now though.

Hefei Delta - Some performance from the Delta, ran the final furlong seemingly like he'd just started the race. A blistering turn of foot which he always shows in my trials. It might be tough for him to avoid his 2 daughters from now on though (Xinyi) Player an Nightngale, who are both better.

Putian Crus - Was expecting big things from him, hit a little trouble, but the pace of the race seemed to do him, one to chalk off an go again I think.


As always thanks to the team
