JANUARY NEWSLETTER 2019

Another great month bringing in 11 winners, taking our tally to 30 for the season, one win off our total number of winners this time last year.

Wandrin Star was first past the post at Bangor at the beginning of the month and finished third in a competitive chase around Kempton on Boxing Day. He and Rocky's Treasure have continued the winning streak for owners John & Penny Perriss with Rocky's Treasure winning again at Doncaster finishing the year with nice looking form reading 11121.

Commodore Barry has delighted his syndicate owners with a double in December, the second of which provided a thrilling finish with him winning by a head.

Phil Andrews' winning streak has continued with the progressive Mr Grey Sky also completing a double in bumpers; it is not often a horse can win two bumpers as the penalty given on the first usually is to much but Mr Grey Sky again finished his race impressively.

We won two Grade 2's last month with Charbel and Vinndication.

Charbel winning the Peterborough Chase Huntingdon was brilliant as Kim has always wanted to win this race, a race with real history. He put up a stunning performance and it was a it was a hugely deserved win for David and Julie Martin’s gelding

Vinndication was brilliant winning the Noel Novice Chase at Kempton.  Just for a moment we thought we might have a struggle on our hands when Jerrysback appeared to join us, but that was soon put to bed.

Best turned out winner Vinndication does not do impressive, more workman like, but who cares as long as he keeps winning. Six on the trot now and it's amazing to think that he won his bumper at Ludlow on November 7th 2017; he has come a long way in a very short time.
