Booborowie had been running creditably on the flat in recent months, placing twice during the summer, but he looked potentially well-handicapped back over hurdles and, despite a couple of sketchy jumps on the way round, he got off the mark over hurdles at the fifth time of asking at Leicester yesterday under Andrew Tinkler. Held up in […]

Thomas Blossom is in fine fettle at present and the eight year old was recording a quickfire double when scoring at Hereford yesterday. Having just his fourth run over fences and off the same mark as when winning over hurdles last time, he jumped proficiently in mid-division and could be noted travelling well throughout.  Taking […]

Runner-up on his hurdles debut at Exeter a fortnight ago, Zoffany Bay quickly made amends on his second outing over timber, running away with the 2m maiden hurdle at Plumpton this afternoon under Adam Wedge.

Held up in the early stages, he made good progress approaching the home turn and, sent on at the second-last, he kept on galloping resolutely to […]

Though perhaps a little keen through the early stages, she was always […]

Sent off a warm favourite, Harry did well to get him some cover in the early stages and he travelled very sweetly through the contest.  He did take […]
