Your stayers ran well but I think I have yours covered for the gold cup/caldran. I have now beaten Heroic Quest with two different horses. And trust me mine are better over the extra distance. Heroic Quest has place chances and is proving consistent, but will finish behind mine :D

Good to see another trainer aiming at staying races though!!

Delighted with my Yorkshire Cup Winner
but has messed up her chances in the Melbourne cup
so might have to transfer in my number 2 two miler in window
Im hoping for a place in the Gold Cup
VOTT is running consistently
better at Ascot

Also i have 2 unbeaten 2yo that i completely forgot about
Reach for the Stars is out this week in 5f listed race

and bade babe gets a run at last at 7f which is not ideal but gets her going

only trojan master in my yard without a run

The good thing about this season is that so many new trainers are doing well. AKCH (the last time I saw such dominance in sprints is back in SO2) has some incredible horses and a host of other trainers have had group 1 placed or winning horses in their first season. This is very good to see and bodes well for the future

It wont be the jockey. You will need a pace of around 25mph so the last 4f turn into a flat out sprint. Im considering not entering at Sandown in the hope it might attract more runners and more pace for Ascot. Though the hill should level out a slow pace this week I hope.

Taran is still the top 10f 3yo, although Andy says Arani is better and that has to be respected. Tatosi is a very nice horses as well but Epsom is not a track to be behind at and it is also kind to front runners. Thats why I give Celebrate a massive chance in the Oaks. Neither of mine can win at Epsom unless there is a lot of traffic problems for other horses.

I think Feat Ping has the best chance of staying unbeaten this season but we shall see. He may just run in the Gold Cup and Cadran.

The first time it was a head and this time whilst you were all hard at work 4 out for some reason my jockey was motionless, did a JOB in the leger and let the winner get away, all I can say is he wont be riding the horse again, mine was catching you with every stride and another half furlong would have had yours. Well done though and good luck for next week you'll need it. :P I was shocked when my horse came home in front this week, and I'm hoping to spring another shock in 2 weeks.

Great to see that Madam Puddifoots has been recognised as 4yo+ horse of the week. I love her front running style and was delighted she held on for my second win of the season and first homebred success. My 8 year old daughter is delighted to see the horse she named and the colours she picked in the newsletter.

Paul that 2000gs was a joke donkey plod winning it, :? can u rerun the race & put the proper result up


Fair enough there was probably better horses in the race but the race was run fair and square and comments like this are completely disrespectful.
As in real racing races get stolen by lesser horses and trainers all the time try to be happy for a newish trainer winning one of the bigger races. That result in my opinion shows that lesser trainers that don't have 15 group 1 winners in there stable can win top races and will drive people on instead of people thinking 'well it's the same old trainers that win, I'm bored' which personally happend to me the only other time I entered the league.


well said mate

Doubt it. Mine run like that and will just start pulling out more and going further away. You will see in the longer trips. They out and out stayers. 2m2 is actually a bit short for both Mountain Rescue and Confederate Fatale. You may find yourself further behind over the extra 2 furlongs. Maybe Heroic Quest can get into a handicap none of mine qualify any more

Heads up in the 27'th. The Paul Rhodes 0-80 handicap. Shad Run carrying low weight off a generous rating could quite well steal away on a easy lead and not look back.


What a spot. I saw no speed and no weight and knew she'd be hard to beat. Thanks to the announcer in race 24 for Mother Of All Wins victory. Loved the "uses the force to get up for the win" or words along that line. Made my day. Virginia Hill in the 19th way off the pace in a short field swallowing up the others in the last furlong was a satisfying win too.

2 wins in week 2. 3 wins in week 3. 12 wins in week 12??? 8)
