‘Bahkit’ & Tom Midgley Last night saw Iconic Belle & Tommy go SO close at Perth, just beaten a neck giving away plenty of weight. This was an excellent first run for her new Owners but the drive was a long way back for Phil with a 2 instead of a 1 next to her …
Wednesday 15th May
Phil, Tommy & Iconic Belle are on their way to Perth for what looks a winnable 2m Mares Hurdle round this picturesque track. We wish they’d turned the sprinklers off sooner as we would have much preferred good to firm but with luck any good to soft patches will have dried up to good in …

Just the one runner today-good luck to connections of MISU BULA who has her third bumper start at Sedgefield in the 5.15 tonight – she was a good 3rd at 40-1 on her second run. For us it’s a quiet couple of months in the Spring/ early Summer with much of our horses targeted …
