Wiskee Lil had her first run over hurdles on wednesday last week, Edwin, Brian and Jenny went to Catterick. Lilly was ridden by the talented Brian Harding, Lilly settled nicely and jumped perfect, Brian came back and gave great feedback saying how much of a nice big mare she is and she will come on from that run with more experience. Lilly has some big boots to fill with her mum being a fantastic jumper (Bula Rose) and her sister (Bulas Belle) heading in her mum's footsteps.
Flat Horses.
Fazza, Easy Terms, The Blue Banana, Josh and Mystical moment are all back and riding out ready to get fit for the flat season. Bulas Belle enjoying a 2 week break after her fall at Catterick when she was a little worse for wear, she is back cantering and seems fresh and sound. It wont take Belle long to get fit again and hopefully we will get another run over hurdles before she gets back to the flat.

Edwin went to the Doncaster sales last month and bought 2 fillies both 2 years old.
They are both being long reined and sat on at home ready to move on to the next level. Both taking it extremely calmly and willing to learn.

WINNER!!!!
Bulas belle won again!! Bell went to Wetherby to run over hurdles for her first time this season. She had been working very well and jumping great at home. Tony Kelly took the ride on the filly, although the was a few good horse's in the race we didn't doubt Bell being in the top 3, she was in great form and she was ready to run well. Coming down the home straight she was within 2 lengths of the 2 favourite's in front of her. She passed them effortlessly to win by 2 lengths. She has proven to be a good and exciting filly for the future.

All the flat horses have been turned away for the winter and will be enjoying a well deserved break ready to come back into work next year for their busy season.
Rachel has been going to the Northern Racing College keen to pass all her exams to become an amatuer flat jockey, Rachel had her final assessment last week and the team were happy to hear the good news that she passed. Rachel has worked hard for this and we are all happy for her!
Rachel's first ride could be at Doncaster on Friday riding our own Blue Maisey in the amateur's race.

Blue Maisey - Doncaster 24th October.
Wiskee Lil and Blue Maisey went to Pontefract on Monday, Edwin and the Ontoawinner team decided to try Maisey over 1m2f but unfortunately the ground wasn't in her favour so we decided not to run her as it would be a waste of money and may cause injury.
On the other hand Wiskee Lil full sister to Bulas Belle ran over 1m4f Maiden race, only her second run and she is familiar with Pontefract, Lilly was more confident at home and she knew her job from her first run, we let the jockey Kevin Stott ride her were she was comfortable, Lilly finished 8th, she is still a big weak mare and may need more time.

Bulas Belle went to Catterick on Saturday, she has been in fantastic form at home and she has shown so much over her past few races, Belle was drawn in stall 2 under the ride of Kevin Stott who know's the filly well, the ground and trip over 1m5f were perfect for her. Belle got a good start and Kevin settled her in the middle of the field. She travelled great and coming down the back straight Kevin got her within a length of the leader still travelling well, 2 furlong's Kevin asked her a question and she flew past the leader winning with minimum effort. Belle has been fine after her race and will run again next week.
Doras Gift also went to Catterick with Bulas Belle. Dora hasn't run for over 2 years for Edwin. She has been having a few problems at home but this year she has been going well and ready for a run. We didn't expect too much from the 5 year old mare. Dora ran a creditable race and will get better with a few more runs.

The Blue Banana went to Redcar on the 17th in the 7f handicap, under the ride of Joe Doyle he was drawn out wide, Blue got a good start but as we could see half way through the race he was struggling with the ground, Blue finished 8th, he didn't handle the ground very well, he will be running again soon.

The Vet Came to the yard last week to scan Ailsa Craig and Bula Rose for the last time to see if they were defiantly in foal and it was good news all round with them both being in foal. They will be ready to foal at the end of February. They will be Edwin's 6th and 7th home bred foals to be born on the yard.
We have a busy few week's coming up with runners, Edwin has picked out a few race's for all horse's with Gold Show and Doras Gift nearly ready to run. Also with Fazza, Blue Maisey, The Blue Banana, Wiskee Lil and Bulas Belle running.

DEBUT RUNNER.
Wiskee Lil, aka Lilly, 3 year old filly out of Bula Rose, full sister to Bulas Belle ran her debut race at Pontefract on Monday over a mile. She has been working well at home, Lilly walked around the parade ring and went down to the start like a professional, she walked into the stalls, although she was slow to jump out she made up ground to finish 7th it was a good first performance from the big filly and it show's us she will be much better over a longer trip.

Blue Maisey ran at Newcastle this week, after her good win we were excited to see how she would go. She was drawn in stall 1 and jumped off great, she sat in 2nd most of the way, something didn't seem right as the field started to pass her out, normally she would be a fighter and battle against them all. Our conclusion was that she didn't come up from the back as she enjoy's doing and she just wasn't feeling herself that day, she has been absolutely fine after the race at home on the gallop's and she will run again soon.
Patavium is back in training after an enjoyable holiday in the field. He is hacking away on the gallops with Mystical Moment they are both at the same level in training so they both ride out together. We will see Patavium running over hurdles which he enjoy's best soon.
September...
Bulas Belle ran a fantastic race for us at Pontefract over 1m2f finishing 2nd!!! Belle has been in fantastic form at home. Edwin has found a race for her in the next fortnight and we are hopeful for another win for the yard!
WINNERS...
Blue Maisey ran at Beverley on Tuesday in the one mile and half a furlong handicap and Kevin Stott rode taking five pounds off. Maisey was drawn out in stall eleven and it was always going to be difficult to get a decent position from the draw and as the stalls opened Kevin took a pull and tried to get Maisey over towards the rail in behind runners. However the horse on her inside wasn’t playing ball and forced Kevin to keep Maisey on the outside as the rest for the field went off at a very brisk gallop. The field were tanking down the back straight and as the field approached the turn into the home straight Maisey was a good ten lengths behind the back of the field and even turning in she was slightly hampered by a horse who was struggling at the rear of the field. As the front of the field were heading towards the final two furlongs the frantic pace was beginning to takes its toll and the field were bunching together. It was at this point that Kevin pulled Maisey to the outside and they began to close on the rest of the field. As the commentator in his commentary stated that Blue Maisey had come from out of the clouds and was making headway and inside the final half furlong under a strong drive she took up the running and quickened nicely to put a good couple of lengths between herself and the rest of the field as they won going away. A great effort from both horse and rider!
The Blue Banana ran a fantastic race under the ride of Kevin Stott to go and win his first race of the season! He loves this time of year and he always springs to life. Watch out for his next run.
Court Of Kings has been sold to a private owner, not to be raced anymore and she is enjoying her new job as a happy all rounder.

Blue Maisey - Newcastle 22nd August.
Gold Show, Sally Friday, Doras Gift and Mystical Moment are back on the gallops in training. We will hopefully see them running in the near future.
Bulas Belle ran in the 1m3f maiden race at Catterick. The first time she had ever come out through the stalls and she performed and ran fantastic. PJ McDonald took the ride and was best pleased with how she ran and gave great feed back. Belle finished 7th. We are looking forward to her next run.
The Blue Banana ran at Catterick in the 7f handicap race.
He was drawn in stall 12 but unfortunately missed the break and left himself a good 6 lengths behind the rest of the field. The ground he made him was great with him running on and finishing 8th.

Fazza ran at Ripon on Saturday in the 1m handicap race under the ride of Kevin Stott. The going on the day was firm and as we know Fazza likes a bit of cut in the ground so when the heaven's opened after the first race it was great news. The going was then good to soft, Fazza was drawn in stall 7 and as they set off Kevin was at the back of the field of 8 going along with the fast pace as they turned into the straight at the 4 furlong post Fazza and the favourite crept up the field together, coming up to the line we were sure Fazza was to get placed battling along, he finished 3rd by half a length and a nose, it was a fantastic run by the 7year old, and he will be running again soon.

Bulas Belle has come in from the Field ready to start training again. She was extremely promising and running great so Edwin and the team are looking forward to seeing how she run's when fully fit again
Spring Back by Silver Patriarch owned by Grant Tuer has come back into training after being on a break since December. She is trotting and hacking up the gallops giving the 2 year old Josh a lead. She is going good and hopefully get a run into her in September along with her full brother Barley also owned by Grant Tuer.

Fazza at York!!
The team went to York on saturday for a scorching hot day with Fazza, he ran in the 1m1f 0-80 handicap and James Sullivan rode, the were drawn wide in stall 14. James settled Fazza on the outside of the field. Turning into the home straight Fazza was second last a good 10 lengths behind the leader. As the field spread Fazza started to fly home passing horses one by one, just as James had Fazza in full stride he was forced to take a pull as a horse came across them, Fazza picked up again hanging onto 5th place, only being beaten a length and a nose. We believe if he hadn't been stopped Fazza could of been placed. It was a fantastic run and he is better than ever ready to hopefully win next time out.

Fazza and The Blue Banana.
Fazza(now owned by ontoawinner) and The Blue Banana ran at Pontefract at the end of May in the 1m race. It was The Blue Banana's first run for him this season, he was fit and ready although we knew he needed the run. The ground wasn't best suited for him, he will have another run soon. On the other hand Fazza went into the race as favourite, the ground was perfect and we were excited to see how he went, he ran a fantastic race finishing 3rd by 1 and half lengths. He's ready to run again and hopefully go and win!!
Whilst the lovely sun has been out this past two week's the horse's have been going out in the field after their morning work. Edwin always love's to see the horse's enjoying themselves like they should, he believes sun on their backs does them the world of good.

Edwin was in The Northern Echo on Wednesday talking about the yard.
Our next runner was at Wetherby on sunday with Bulas Belle, she ran in her second novice hurdle race finishing 9th. Belle is still very green over the hurdles but she had a brilliantly experienced ride by Brian Harding. After a few more runs she will have more confidence to run better.
Catterick.
The team had two runner's at Catterick on the wednesday with Patavium and Mystical Moment.
Patavium ran his first flat race of the year and ran a very respectable race finishing 4th under the ride of James Sullivan, at the age of 11 he is doing fantastic and has been placed in his last 4 starts.
Mystical Moment ran in the 7f, her first run in Edwin's colours. She was travelling great with Kevin Stott in the saddle, he had her in a very promising position turning into the home straight she held on to 3rd place. Edwin and the team were so happy with how she ran. Mysty won as a 2yrold over 7f, we want to see how she run's over 1m now she is a 4yrold.

Easy Terms ran in the 1m2f under the ride of Phillip Makin. She ran good and finished 9th, she definitely need's the trip and Edwin will probably find further for her next race.

A Few New Names To Mention..
Bulas Belle is a 4 year old filly and has been placed on 3 out of her 4 starts, Jenny has been schooling her over poles and popping her over little jumps, we are looking forward to getting her going over some hurdles next week. Belle is showing great potential and has taken to jumping like a natural!
Lilly is a 3 year old filly, full sister to Bulas Belle homebred the same as her sister, she is coming on really well and we are hopeful with the progress she is making. Lilly is learning quickly and maturing nicely as she has been cantering on up the gallops with the rest of the horses, Rachel enjoys riding Lilly as she can be quite a handful at times!
We have an unnamed 4 year old filly by Court Cave, she came into training at Edwin's the first week of February, she is cantering on up the gallops with Fergus and coming on really well.
Barley is a 5 year old by Silver Patriarch, he came to Edwin's yard in January this year, he is hacking away nicely and seems to be learning very quickly and finding his feet as a racehorse. The stable girls already have a sweet spot for him as he is big softy and are looking forward to his future.
Flat Season 2014..
The Flat horses from last year, Fazza, The Blue Banana, Easy Terms, Blue Maisey, Sally Friday and Mystical Moment (4 year old filly, came to the yard October 2013).
They are all swinging away up the gallop ready to get back on the track for the flat season 2014!
Look out for them all back in action!!

Old boy Sphinx retired December 2013 at the age of 16 after his run at Newcastle!!
Edwin decided to retire him happy and healthy, he enjoys getting turned out often with the young 2 year old Josh. Sphinx certainly puts him in his place and teaches him who is boss as Josh is extremely cheeky and mischievous .

Edwin has been enjoying some holidays over the past few weeks and so has left Fergus in charge of running the yard. The team are very grateful to Brian who has been helping to get the horses mucked out on some mornings so that Fergus and Jenny can get all horses out on the gallop. Rachel is still off sick at the moment but we are hoping she will be back with us in the next few weeks.
The horses are working well and are relaxed and happy for the end of the summer! The horses in training are all well rugged up now that the weather has suddenly turned so cold! We hope we can get a few more runs in to the good ground horses before the wet winter weather really does arrive!! Veteran, Sphinx will soon be ready to run, and also Molly, who will be named shortly will soon be ready for a racecourse gallop in preparation for her first ever run. Breaker, Belle, is also coming on nicely on the gallop.

Ailsa Craig wins again, making it 2 for her this season!!
Ailsa ran 5th September at Haydock with Mr P Dennis in the saddle, making it Ailsa's second win of the season and her jockey's first ever win. They won by an easy 6lengths for Ailsa's owner (Ontoawinner).
Fazza also ran and finished 5th at Haydock. Fazza was very unlucky again and couldn't get a clear run to get a double for the yard.
Today, The Blue Banana runs at Beverley. Fergus and Brian have headed off for the evening meet, leaving Jenny to do the yard. News to follow on Blue's results shortly...

We had two runners today at Newcastle Races. Ailsa Craig ran a good race to finish 3rd, which we were really pleased about. Sally Friday also ran a super race to finish 5th (beaten by the winner by just 2lengths); however, the weekend's rain making the ground soft, perhaps prevented her from getting the win we hoped for.

Fazza ran at Pontefract yesterday to add another win to the board for the team. Fergus and Jenny headed to Pontefract whilst Edwin went to Doncaster Sales. We were delighted with his win; he has certainly been on top form at home and worked really well last week. Can we make it a double this week with Sally Friday on Saturday at Redcar?
Ailsa Craig and The Blue Banana also have their photos featured in national magazine HORSE Magazine this week, who have published an article about our weekend stable girl Samantha. See photos below:

3rd August 2013
The Blue Banana ran a super race to finish 6th at Redcar on Wednesday in the novice amateur race. We were really pleased with his run; he is in great form at home at the moment. Gold Show also ran at Redcar but was a little more disappointing than we expected.
We also had runners at Thirsk on Friday: Blue Maisey and Patavium. Maisey was the pick of the race and favourite at 4-1 but had a little upset in the parade ring which we believe may have prevented her from running as well as she could have done. Even so, she finished 6th beaten by 4 lengths by the winner. Patavium ran over 2m, however the ground was a little more firm than we would have hoped for for him and so he didn't run in to a place. He will enjoy a little break now until the ground is more to his liking.
Both Rachel and Jenny have been off work this week and so Fergus and Samantha have done all of the riding out. The horses are working and looking well; Fazza in particular is feeling the best he has done all season.
Our next runners:
August 7th - Fazza - Pontefract
August 10th - Sally Friday - Redcar
August 13th - Ailsa Craig - Carlisle

On Sunday, Sally Friday had an unlucky race but flew home to finish 2nd at Redcar. Patavium also ran in the same race and ran a good race; the longer trip seems to suit him better. Fazza and Ailsa ran at Ripon on Saturday. Ailsa was unlucky and couldn't get a clear run but Jimmy Sulivan was pleased with Fazza's run, baring in mind the ground wasn't best suited to him. See photos below of stable girl Jenny leading Sally up at the races.
Next stop.... Redcar Races, Wednesday 31st July

The yard had two runners at Beverley today: Gold Show and Blue Maisey.Gold Show ran a very good race, dropping back to 1m and finished 3lengths behind the winner to be 4th. Blue Maisey finished 2nd, beaten 3 lengths; she overcome a wide draw and we were pleased with how she ran. She proves to be one of our most consistent horses this season.
We also recieved some news from newly sold retrained Super Truper (Rupert). Leanne informed us that Rupert has settled well in his new home and she is focusing on schooling and enjoying hacking out. Leanne (his new owner) has sent photos of Rupert taking a paddle in the river to cool down in this recent heat wave, whilst hacking out. (See below):

9th July 2013
Last week we ended the week with runs from Blue Maisey at Beverley and Fazza at Carlisle. Blue Maisey, led up by Rachel, ran really well but couldn't find a clear run in the last furlong and was beaten by just 4 lengths to finish 7th. Fergus headed up to Carlilse on Saturday night with Fazza who ran well in a competitive race; his jockey said he will have come on for the run and gave positive feedback about his race.
This week opened with a super run from The Blue Banana at Ripon on 8th July. Blue was just pipped for 3rd place after being drawn out wide. Jenny, who rides him out every day accompanied Edwin at the races and led Blue up, wearing our new yard t-shirt in the glorious sunshine.
This week, Edwin and Brian are heading to Newmarket sales on Thursday and Friday. Edwin and Fergus have spent the past few days marking out potential lots. The stable girls are excited to see which new horses they bring home with them. Photos to follow...
This weekend, professional equestrian photographer Toni Cadwell (www.tonicadwellphotography.co.uk) will visit the yard to take some photos of the current and new horses around the yard and on the gallop for our website. Some of the photos will also feature in national magazine HORSE Magazine, who are running a feature article on weekend stable girl Samantha. Look out for photos next week.
We have also been in touch with recently sold retrained racehorses Rupert and Benjie (homebred full brothers). Benjie has settled well with new owner Chantelle Joslin, who will be sending us some photos soon. Rupert is coming on really well with Leanne and is progressing with schooling, jumping and hacking out. Leanne is looking to buy a trailer and is hoping to get Rupert to some more shows in a bout a month's time. Good luck to both geldings in their new homes and keep us posted with results.

Edwin also had some t-shirts printed for the staff this week with our new website on the back. Photos can be seen below of Britain and Ireland's next top models: Fergus and Rachel...
The horses enjoyed some time in the sunshine this afternoon for a good roll and a play together. Edwin and Fergus believe in keeping horses happy and they like to give them a little spell in the field every day to keep them fresh and sweet in their work. Photos below of the horses in the paddocks this morning.
The Blue Banana thought he would help out with yard duties this morning and stand in for Edwin who is on holiday for a few days. Photos below of Blue hard at work on the yard this morning and then out on the gallop with Samantha.
27th June 2013
This week, Gold Show runs on Northumberland Plate Day (Saturday) at 4.50pm Newcastle Racecourse. She is going well at home. Rachel rides Goldie every day at home and is pleased with how she has been working.
Also this week...
On Tuesday we had Elaine and Chantelle Joslin visit the yard with their friends to view some of our retired racehorses. Chantelle is hoping to rehome one/two of these horses and is interested in competing them in other disciplines. More news to follow at the end of the week.
Next week, Blue Maisey and Ailsa Craig are entered for Catterick (Wednesday). We hope they will follow up their recent successes at Redcar.
We are looking forward to The Yorkshire Post coming to the yard on Saturday to take photos of the horses on the gallop. News to follow on when the yard's article will be published.

Blue Maisey wins at Redcar, making it a third win this season.
Blue Maisey won by a short head today at Redcar for the Ontoawinner syndicate. The ground and trip suited her perfectly on this occasion.
Ailsa Craig also ran and finished 3rd, beaten two lengths.
Sally Friday also runs at Redcar tomorrow and we hope that she will follow up her last run/win at Redcar last month.

It's been a busy week on the yard with Edwin making hay and five horse entered to run.
This week we have Gold Show running at Ripon on Wednesday. Goldie has been working well on the gallop at home and is dropping back in trip at Ripon, so we hope it will suit her better as she didn't stay 1m4f last time she ran.
On Thursday Patavium runs at Ripon over 1m4f in the ladies' race. We hope that he too will improve when running in cheek pieces for the first time. He ran last week at Musselburgh; his jockey reporting that the ground was perhaps a little quick for him.
On Friday we have Ailsa Craig and Blue Maisey running at Redcar. Both mares are looking and feeling well at home. Maisey will run over 1m again, which we believe suits her best.
Sally Friday also runs at Redcar this week on Saturday. We hope she can follow up her impressive win at Redcar last month.
Last week Big Benjie also ran for the first time over hurdles at Southwell. Henry Brooke reported back that he jumped really well but was still a little green and weak and hopefully time will improve him.
Last Saturday, we also had two runners at York: Easy Terms and Fazza. The ground was too firm for Easy Terms but Fazza ran a good race for Abi in the charity race and finished 5th after a long break from his last run!
The yard were also pleased to deliver Rupert to his new home last week. Rupert was briefly in training this year before he was retrained and won at his first show with weekend stable girl Samantha Osborne. Rupert's new owner Leanne Gillespie has reported back that she is really happy with how well Rupert has settled and that he is loving his new job and progressing quickly. Also on the retraining front - Samantha qualified Stevey's Lad for Horse of the Year Show for the second year running at Badgworth, Somerset last weekend. They will also be competing at the Hickstead Derby Meeting next weekend for the ROR Final. Samantha also won the Equilibrium Rising Stars £1000 sponsorship competition last week and is looking forward to being interviewed by Horse Magazine and The Yorkshire Post. Look out for photos of Edwin Tuer trained horses in Horse Magazine soon. Details to follow.

Homebred gelding Super Truper went to his first show today, just a week and a half in to retraining and impressed the judges enough to win his ridden class, followed by his inhand class. (Photo below). Rupert has been sold to a lovely young rider who will continue to bring him on for the show ring and to enjoy some local showjumping and eventing too. Keep posted for any other retrained racehorse which may be available in 2013...

The week began with two runners: 'Blue Maisey' headed to Carlilse with Edwin, Brian and Jenny and 'Ailsa Craig' ran at Ripon. Maisey ran well up to a furlong out but needs to drop back in trip to 1m. Ailsa finished 4th (beaten by 3 lengths) and ran a very good race on ground that was a little on the firm side for what she would prefer.
Our next runner is at Thirsk with The Blue Banana who will run over 1m. Blue finished 3rd last time at Thirsk and we hope he will improve on his last run.
On the yard, Rachel returned from her week off and Tony Kelly came to school today with Fergus. Fergus rode 'Patavium' to give novice 'Big Bengie' a lead over the hurdles in the field for the first time. Tony was pleased with how Benjie jumped and is looking forward to riding him in the next available race for him. Farrier Vernon was also in the yard again this morning shoeing horses.
Home-bred 'Rupert' is still enjoying his first week at retraining bootcamp with Samantha and started popping small fences tonight for the first time. Samantha will be taking him to a local show on Sunday; results to follow next week. Please see photos of Rupert's progress (top right and below).

We have had a busy few days on the yard: the blacksmith came to re-shoe some of the horses, Big Benjie was schooled over hurdles twice with Fergus and has shown a natural ability and enthusiasm for jumping; we rode work this morning with some of the horses that are entered up in races next week and Rupert started retraining for sale with Samantha. (See photo below of him schooling for the first time today below and see our horses for sale page for more information.) After getting completely drenched riding out yesterday, we were all glad of some sunshine this afternoon and so were the horses when they sunbathed in the paddocks after exercise this morning.
Entries for next week include:
Blue Maisey runs at Carlisle on Monday
Ailsa Craig runs at Ripon on Tuesday
The Blue Banana runs at Thirsk on Friday

Sally Friday was an impressive winner of the 1m6f race at Redcar this evening, ridden by young claimer Kevin Stott who gave her a cracking ride to win by 6 lengths. Jenny was also very happy to lead up her first winner!
Well done Sally and team for the second winner of the season!!!!

We returned to Pontefract at the start of the month with Gold Show and Blue Maisey. Gold Show finished 4th in an apprentice race and Blue Maisey ran well, finishing 6th beaten 6th lengths but bagged the best turned out £100 prize money.
Sally Friday ran well at Catterick 7th May, finishing 3rd at 33-1 in the Claiming Stakes, beaten by under 2 lengths for a winning position. Patavium ran the following night at Newcastle and ran well (the ground perhaps a little on the quick side for him) but he came out of the race well and is feeling fresh and well at home. He will have plenty more runs and opportunities over hurdles and on the flat this season.
Lee Clarke is coming to the yard on Monday (13th) to check the horses' backs.
The yard is also looking forward to a trip to York Racecourse for The Dante Meet with Easy Terms on Friday 17th. We hope she will run as successfully as last year where she won the Jorvick Stakes with James Sullivan. She is working well and looking well at home.
We also had runners at Thirsk 11th May: The Blue Banana, Gold Show and Blue Maisey. Blue Maisey was drawn wide again but ran a respectable race and finished 4th for her owners (Ontoawinner) who were at Thirsk to watch her and Gold Show run. We were very happy with The Blue Banana's run; he finished 3rd at 25-1. Photos from Thirsk and horses at home 11th May below:

Good luck to Easy Terms running at York Racecourse today.Fingers crossed she can win two years in a row!
21st May update...
On 21st May, Blue Maisey, owned by Ontoawinner will head up to Newcastle with Fergus to run over 1m 2f. The Blue Banana will also run at Newcastle over 1m; both horses should appreciate the step up in trip and are in good form at home. Ailsa Craig, also owned by Ontoawinner, also runs on 21st May and will hopefully improve on her 3rd placing first time out this year when she heads to Pontefract with Edwin to run over 1m2f.
On Friday evening, Potavium will be running on the flat over 1m4f at Catterick. Also, on 27th May, Sally Friday is entered for Redcar to run over 1m6f. Both Potavium and Sally are in good form at home and we hope they will improve on their last run.
Rachel is going to enjoy some well earned holidays next week and Samantha will be riding out during her half term break at school.

April 2013...
A word from assistant trainer Fergus King:
"Our first trip of the season to Pontefract was successful with a win from Gold Show on her first run for the yard and also for new owner Ontoawinner. Blue Maisey also ran a cracking race - drawn wide outside but running in to a second place, by half a length at 50-1. Easy Terms also had her first run of the season and finished 4th in a competitive race.
April has been a busy month; we have backed Molly (6 year old Silver Patriach filly) and Bella (3 year old Rob Roy filly), both of which are hacking nicely up the gallop and should be in full work in the next few weeks. We also put all the flat horses through the stalls: all went in and jumped out well. The dentist also checked every horse in the yard.
At the end of the month the Ontoawinner syndicate visited the yard and watched their horses work: Blue Maisey, Gold Show and Ailsa Craig (their Twitter filly). Photos updated on to their website."
