Arrow One Of Fastest I’ve Ridden, Says Hollie
Stable jockey Hollie Doyle hailed SPARTAN ARROW one of the fastest horses she’s ever ridden following his success in Listed company in France on Tuesday, 24th June. Hambleton Racing’s five-year old made a seamless step up in class to win the Prix Hampton at Chantilly for his owners Hambleton Racing, earning glowing praise from his Classic-winning rider. “With the exception of my multiple Group 1 winner Bradsell, Spartan Arrow is easily the fastest horse I’ve ever ridden and I can’t…
Listed Winner Kylian Set For International Summer
Sprinter KYLIAN is set for an international summer after adding a Listed victory to his three handicap wins for the stable in Germany on Sunday, 1st June. Our exciting four-year-old dominated the six-furlong Casino Baden-Baden Silberne Peitsche, justifying favouritism under top international jockey Adrie de Vries. Archie says: “It was fantastic to see Kylian win at this level. He had a great winter on the All-Weather at home and I am delighted for his owner Sheikh Hamed Dalmook Al Maktoum…
Promising Tadej Evokes Bradsell Memories
TADEJ’S victory in a York novice stakes on Saturday 31st May evoked memories of our sprinting superstar turned stallion Bradsell. The Jinky Farms-owned colt proved too good for his rivals in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing EBF Restricted Novice Stakes under stable jockey Hollie Doyle to set himself up for a crack at the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. She took up the running on the son of Ardad with about a furlong to race, rallying under pressure to…
Hollie And Brodie Star In A Bumper April
What a month! Archie and the team at Saxon Gate sent out no fewer than 14 winners in April including Group 3 Fred Darling heroine DUTY FIRST. Victorious Racing’s filly powered clear of her rivals in the seven-furlong Classic trial at Newbury under Hollie Doyle to earn her place in the Betfred 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Three winners came in one evening at Wolverhampton on 26th April when Hollie notched a four-timer. Carrados, French Sand and Riyadh Gem boosted our…
Classic Target For Duty First
DUTY FIRST will attempt to give Saxon Gate our first Classic success when she takes her place in the Betfred 1000 Guineas as Newmarket on 4th May after a scintillating victory at Newbury. Victorious Racing’s filly will be supplemented for the great race at a cost of £30,000 following her dominant display in a strong renewal of the Group 3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes, traditionally known as the Fred Darling, on Saturday 12th April. Following her success in the hands…
Two Out Of Two For Majestic Aurora
AURORA MAJESTY established himself as a colt with potential after winning both starts on the All-Weather in March, earning a crack at the Group 3 Classic trial, the Greenham Stakes, at Newbury. Salem Rashid Bin Ghadayer’s chestnut made an impressive debut in a seven-furlong Newcastle maiden at the beginning of the month, justifying short odds under stable jockey Hollie Doyle before following up under a penalty at Wolverhampton 12 days later. Well backed to land that novice over the same…
Port Light Shows His Class
Hambleton Racing’s exciting prospect Port Light lit up a quiet month when he maintained his progress with a dominant performance in a mile novice stakes at Chelmsford City on 27th February. Hollie Doyle, fresh back from riding on Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia, made all the running on the son of City Light on his return from being gelded to put five lengths between himself and the runner-up, despite carrying a penalty. A 41,000 euros breeze-up purchase last year, the…
Speedy Kylian Makes It Four Out Of Five
Sprinter KYLIAN maintained his flying form in January by registering his fourth win in five starts on the All-Weather, this time in a Class 2 handicap at Wolverhampton at the end of the month. Sheikh Hamed Dalmook Al Maktoum’s five-furlong specialist was given a fantastic ride by regular partner Luke Morris, squeezing between rivals Michaela’s Boy and Bedford Flyer to get up in the shadow of the post. It was the versatile four-year-old’s third win of the winter, supplementing his…
Kylian Ends A Golden 2024 With A Bang
KYLIAN further enhanced his growing reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the sprinting division on the All-Weather when he rounded off a memorable 2024 for the stable with success at Lingfield Park on New Year’s Eve. He flew home over the flying five furlongs under Luke Morris to repeat his win at Newcastle back in November – performances that book-ended a narrow defeat at Southwell. Scoring off a mark of 99, there should be more options for…
Farewell To Our Star Sprinter Bradsell
November was the month to celebrate the success of our star sprinter BRADSELL, who retired from racing to take up stallion duties at the National Stud in Newmarket. It wasn’t to be for the triple Group 1 winner at the Breeders’ Cup in California on his final racecourse appearance at the start of the month but he left us all at Saxon Gate with many wonderful memories. Winner of the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at two and the Group 1…
