First Experience feature on Own1.co.uk

Wednesday, 24 April 2013

An initiative of Great British Racing, the marketing and promotions arm of the British Horseracing Authority sees a feature on their website involving the newly and rather appropriately named 'First Experience' a two year old filly in training with us.  Bought by Rae at the December Yearling Sale and a daughter of popular second season Sire Tamayuz, there is still 50% of her available for sale.

Secret of Success makes it two from two

Wednesday, 03 April 2013

Mr Metzger's Secret of Success scored a second rather cozy win at Kempton this evening under jockey Chris Catlin, taking the yard to four winners for the year.  Secret of Success is a filly who likes to get on with it and she found the drop back to five furlongs no problem.  Well done to Sunny who led her up and Fran Ferris who rides her at home. 

Great first win for Back on the Trail

Thursday, 21 March 2013

This evening at Wolverhampton Back on the Trail became Paul and Paula Smith's first home bred winner under jockey Luke Morris.  The Singspiel gelding out of Paul and Paula's Boleyna was backward last year and was not rushed.  He has done nothing but improve with racing and this narrow success was well deserved.  Well done to Paul and Paula - this was the first horse that they have bred themselves and he has done them proud.

Kickingthelilly scores last gasp success

Saturday, 02 March 2013

Kickingthelilly once again showed her liking for the polytrack at Lingfield winning in the final strides under jockey Chris Catlin for owners Tim Hailstone, Steve Piper, Des Scott, Tony Hirschfeld and Rae Guest. That was her sixth career win and her third at Lingfield after a disappointing effort on the heavier surface at Southwell. For most of the race she was not ideally positioned after missing the kick from the stalls, but Chris was not fazed and took a gap when it appeared with a furlong to go to score by a neck. A good ride and a game horse. Good prize money as well and a nice race to win. Well done all, including Naz who has been riding her.

Secret of Success wins first time out

Friday, 15 February 2013

Mr Metzger's home bred Johannesburg filly Secret of Success got the yard off the mark for 2013 with a good win at Lingfield under Chris Catlin.  She is a well bred filly who could be very fast and she showed she was sharp enough to lead from start to finish despite a sustained duel with the well backed favourite.  Rae is hoping that she will come out of the race well and will plot her campaign from there.  Well done Fran Ferris who has been riding her at home.
