It is with a heavy heart that I have to say the time is right to retire my favourite racehorse First Flow. He had a very hard race at Lingfield and frankly with the handicapper raising him to a rating of 160 (dropped to 159 last week) this making him the highest rated 12 year in training, it leaves me with very few options for the old boy. So, time to say enough is enough, but what a phenomenal horse he has been to train. First Flow’s story is probably well known but I have told it again on today’s blog on my website.

🚀First Flow ran 28 times. 12 Wins, 6 seconds, 3 thirds and 2 fourths.. Total prize money of £307,409.00🚀

What a star he is.

Many thanks to Tony Solomons for being his most wonderful owner. Sadly, Tony is not in the best of health so his colours like his horse will be retired.

Thanks to David Bass for riding him the way he liked. David, understandably adores him and is the only person to have won on him, they were made for each other both brave, determined, tough and quirky but don’t we love that in horses!

A huge thanks to all my staff who have looked after him and loved him, even when he stood still for ages looking at the wonderful Cotswold countryside when he should have been doing something else.

And finally, a big thank you to Tony’s daughter Nicola for allowing me to keep the old boy in training for her father.

There will be few others as tough and enjoyable to train as FF. Thank you for being the horse that I just loved. Finding a next suitable home for him will be difficult as I loath to say goodbye to him❤️

Does He Know is all heart as he wins the Grimthorpe Chase under a cracking ride from David Bass. A great performance under top weight and testing conditions! Lovely to see these colours back in the winners enclosure. 💙

Congratulations to the Yes He Does Syndicate🍾

Huge thank you to our brilliant team at home 🌟
