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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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…

Middleham Park Racing’s International star BRAVE EMPEROR set himself up for an attempt at a second consecutive win in the Premio Vittorio Di Capua in Italy after scoring a fourth career Group 3 success there in mid-October. Our son of Sioux Nation achieved the sixth stakes success of his illustrious career when dominating the Premio del Piazzale Memorial Enrico Camici in Milan under regular jockey Luke Morris ahead of a return to the San Siro in November. “It was great…

Our globetrotting star BRAVE EMPEROR will head to Milan next month in pursuit of a second consecutive win in the Premio Vittorio Di Capua after scoring a fourth career Group 3 success in the Italian city. Middleham Park Racing’s star achieved the sixth stakes success of his illustrious career when dominating the Premio del Piazzale Memorial Enrico Camici at the San Siro on 13th October under regular jockey Luke Morris. His 11th win in 22 starts edged the son of…

BRADSELL’S second consecutive Group 1 victory in the Flying Five Stakes in Ireland was the highlight of a magical September that yielded three other Pattern victories for Archie and Saxon Gate. Our star sprinter supplemented August’s success in the Nunthorpe Stakes by dominating a big field at The Curragh on Irish Champions’ weekend, making his jockey Hollie Doyle the first female rider to win a Flat race of that status in Ireland. Bradsell, who is now on target for the…

A return to France could be on the cards for juvenile star ELECTROLYTE after Archie’s brilliant run of form in stakes races continued at the weekend (21st September). Wathnan Racing’s colt won the Group 3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly, supplementing Bradsell’s victory in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes at The Curragh and Aesterius’s success in the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster the previous week. “He’s very talented and it’s brilliant to be able to reward the support…
