Chess Valley scores on debut!
- Friday, 28 June 2013
In true Rae Guest style, it seems whenever we have one winner a second arrives on the same day. Chess Valley providing our second across-the-card double of the season.
A big filly by Shamardal she has come to herself quicker than even connections would have thought and took to racing well scoring in quite decisive fashion under Tom Queally. Run in the colours of the 'The Boot Sarratt Racing Syndicate' and owned by Eamonn Duggan, Michael Duggan (Eamonn's son) and John Shannon, she was bought by Rae as a yearling for 28,000gns and looks like she may repay that figure.
She is entered in all of the Tattersalls sales races and looks to have a bright future. Well done to Charlotte who looks after her.
Minalisa makes all
- Friday, 28 June 2013
Minalisa, Chris Mills' four year-old Oasis Dream filly returned to winning ways at Warwick yesterday afternoon. Partnered by Steve Drowne she made every post a winning post to score in a pretty decisive style by three lengths. Steve Drowne has ridden plenty for us in the past and has recently returned from a long term injury so congratulations to him. Also to Farman who looks after her and rides her at home.
This could be a good weekend for Chris and Lesley Mills and family as Mirza plans to take on the Chipchase stakes at Newcastle on Saturday and Minley also runs later that day at Lingfield. Best of luck to them!
Poisson D'or Makes All
- Friday, 14 June 2013
Poisson D'or, the Family Fish's four year old Cape Cross filly produced an impressive display at Yarmouth to make all under Ted Durcan in the closing race on the card. After a good run last time out at Newmarket she took on a reduced field of three runners at Yarmouth on Thursday afternoon. She led pretty much from the flag fall and quickened clear, hopefully she will build on this and go on to bigger and better things. She is a filly Rae has always thought a lot of.
Congratulations must go to Hugh (nicknamed Snowy) who looks after her and Anil who rides her.
Rosie Rebel provides across-the-card double
- Wednesday, 15 May 2013
Rosie Rebel, a lovely big Cockney Rebel filly owned by Peter Saunders, Oliver Lury and Rae relished the softer under-foot conditions to land a maiden on her third attempt at Chepstow last night. She's a big filly and her previous two runs on the all-weather surfaces in the winter were very promising. Converted to grass she stayed on well to win a shade comfortably and register our eighth winner of the season. Congratulations to Steve Davis who rides her and Sunny who looks after her.
The rain didn't stop falling at Chepstow and eventually meant that our other intended runner, Headline News was withdrawn on going concerns. Rae will look for another suitable race for her.
Flamingo Beat rallies at Beverley
- Tuesday, 14 May 2013
Bob Goodes' Beat Hollow gelding, Flamingo Beat rallied well under pressure to run out a decisive winner on only his second start in handicap company this afternoon. Bob is currently on holiday so would've enjoyed watching him win in a much sunnier clime than Beverley!
A bonny chestnut gelding, he was not the easiest to break-in as a yearling and has had his problems including his fear of starting stalls but credit to all the team in their persistence and hard work in helping him to overcome them. Congratulations also go to Anil who looks after him and Charlotte that rides him.
That's winner number seven of the season!
