It’s been a quiet month …. Horses beginning to need a break… only had 3 runners in the Month, Our Grass team has now finished and our sole representative on the all-weather is ready…
Both Somethingboutmary and Henry Bee are heading down to Abbey Stud just outside Newmarket in Hoo… This stunning setting will give both horses a well-deserved break. Henry has been there before on his pre training program, Mick who looks after the horses has great knowledge having worked for Bill O’Gorman and Gerard Butler. They have big plans for the stud and have started to buy some really nice mares… including our mare Scillion who is in foal to Equiiano, due in Feb…
Somethingboutmary did not run well in her last race and a break looked long overdue for her… a chance to re-charge the batteries and grow… She is rated 70 on the AWT , Henry Bee has not been out since injuring himself at Thirsk after winning 2 on the bounce…. Looks to be growing pains and the fact that he has been in training over a year… we all need a break. Mick has a plan for him and will get Bee back buzzing ready for next season…
Bunce ran twice in October… Finishing 4th at Southwell a great effort to say that the surface may not have suited, then he went on to finish 7th at Catterick. We have a few ideas why we have not seen him get his head in front, he will get the winter off and will come back soon very well handicapped of 70 with plenty of room for improvement.
Siberian Belle has been taken out of training and will go to a new home very soon… a sweet filly with talent.. sadly we never saw her full potential. She won for is in August at Yarmouth… so the decision was made to take her out of training and start a fresh with a new yearling…
Woolfell Sovereign is back in work and will soon be back in action on the all-weather… rated 87 he won’t be running for small prizes.. we still have a long term plan but will see how the 1st two races go, aiming at a race at southwell in December… he looks well and fired up. Let’s hope he can add to our impressive year by sticking his head in front….
we have added a 2yr old filly called Throwing Roses to our team for next year… Previous in training with Ollie Pears we have taken her on with aim of loosing her maiden tag next year… Still not decided on where she will be trained, she is currently in a field just outside Huby, eating Dr Grass and gowing…. She will be £500 all in for the year for 5% share staring in jan…. She will offer a bit of fun and hopfully reward owners with a win and a few good days out
This year has been our best to date and we still have 2 months of the all-weather to add to it…. Happy owners , Horse in form and a few nice bets landed. WRS will build on this and get bigger and better in 2013… The addition of some new horses including a possible star…. Watch this space
In other news …… 2 out of 3 horses have been bought for our American dream package… the Bang in form Marford Missile and Marchwood…. Both tick all the boxes and expect to see their noes crossing the wire in pole position…. One more horse to buy. Nothing was bought at Newmarkets HITS.. but we still have time and I have a list of horse I need to start ringing the trainers about… They will ship 1st week in Dec and be running very soon after.
WRS had its day out at Pontefract on Monday 22nd October.. Massive turn out in our box… Thank you to all who attended … everyone had a great day, drinks bets and horses… including a few guests… Kevin Ryan called in for a beer and as did WRS favourite Freddie Tylicki who took time out to sign a few winning pics of him on Henry Bee for the owners… Sadly the weather was not brillient but i cant arrange everything
Our Calendar of events for 2013 is taking shape… looks like it will be Doncaster on Lincoln day…. WRS will have a box for the owners… a great start to hopefully a great season ahead
