October….
Todays Runners at Sedgefield We cant quite believe it is October and there is even talk of Christmas already! October means weaning for our foals and all went well with them coming into the loose barn and the mares going up the road to our 2nd yard Bushypark. They usually take it well as being …
Wed 20th Sept…..
Well it certainly is past having any ‘firm’ in the going description with all the rain we have had of late. The summer felt quite brief looking back but at least we had our coats off for a while and we now have the NH winter season just around the corner to look forwards to. …

Todays runner is Willing To Please, known as ‘Wendy’ in the yard. She runs at Beverly in the 3.45 H’cap with P J McDonald onboard for owners RedHotGardDogs , Alan & David Fairhurst. There’s 12 runners and she hasn’t a bad draw in no.4 so we will have our fingers crossed for her to get …
3rd Aug….
It literally rained here ALL day yesterday and the team did a great job of getting them all out and exercised despite the grim conditions. Soaked through to the unmentionables! They were rewarded with chips, gravy & curry sauce for their effort by Phil which was very gratefully received. Its a great gift to be …

Robert johnson has done it again!!! A hat-trick of wins after hitting the top spot in the enclosure at York on Saturday. That’s 2 wins in the past fortnight and a season total of 5 for him and very proud (and rightly so) owner/rider Victor. He has had a great season and doesn’t look like …

Lord T off to Catterick today Runners today are luckily just round the corner at Catterick, no mega trip like it was for Victor yesterday all the way down to Brighton! No joy down there either unfortunately so hopefully we can find some at Catterick. We have Lady Bouquet who will be looking to improve …
The Arqana Sales
Phil, Pippa & daughter Indy have been enjoying a trip away in France for the past few days at the Arqana sales. No racehorse purchases but we have 11yr old broodmare ‘Isabe’ by Diamond Green and out of a mare called Maharina making her way back to Green Oaks. She has won a Listed Chase …
4 from 5 for Robert Johnson!
Victor is most definitely a proud owner this week after kicking it off on Monday with Robert Johnson’s win at Musselburgh. He ground them down to get his head in front just where it mattered with 17yr old apprentice Billy Loughane for a near length win. A top jockey choice – Billy is the clear …
30th June
Misemerald is proving a shrewd buy from the Breeze-ups as she wins on only her second start as a 2 year old at Beverley under Andrew Mullen for owner Joyce Porter. She looked a nice sort as she knuckled down to task and stuck her neck out to beat the Charlie Johnston favourite by a …
