Wathnan Racing’s promising juvenile TERMINOLOGY justified favouritism to win a fillies’ novice stakes at Lingfield Park at the end of June, setting herself up for some potentially bigger targets as the summer unfolds. The daughter of Havana Grey improved on her debut third at Nottingham, finishing strongly under our talented apprentice Harry Vigors to beat market rival Havana Flash by a comfortable neck. Terminology, a daughter of five-furlong Listed placed two-year-old winner Daphinia, was a 360,000 euros purchase by Blandford…

Two of our three-year-olds got the new year off to a flying start by making a winning return to action on the All-Weather. Hamaleel began her season by scoring at Kempton Park on 28th January in the colours of long-standing owner Salem Rashid Bin Ghadayer. Clearly benefitting from her winter break, our daughter of Palace Pier took a mile handicap for Hollie Doyle, making all the running. She had split subsequent winners over the same course and distance in September…
