It’s that time of year again! First embryo of 2023, bit later than planned due to the cold, wet spring keeping mares in transitional oestrus but good to get the ball rolling! Fingers crossed our super recipient mare does her job and keeps it growing nicely🤞🙏

What a 24hrs in National Hunt Racing…. The picture is our stable star Saint Palais winning best turned out at Cheltenham yesterday before the Albert Bartlett, before very sadly being knocked into at the 4th last hurdle. As a result of this, he’s slipped the tendon off his hock and faces a long period of rehab. We will do everything possible for him and hope he can return.
Today we have been at Kempton… 2 more BTO for Sam Burgess the birthday girl. Better results today with a second with Southern Sam running a gallant race, he really deserves to get his head in front, and then a fantastic Win for Theatre Man winning the novice hurdle with a penalty in the colours of Burke and Syder. It was an impressive win and maybe he can fill Saint Palais’s shoes in the coming months. Thank you to all my amazing team at home, Harry, Adam and all the winning connections. Onwards and upwards… 🍾🏆💪👍

After what was going to be a fantastic come back run for Saint Palais yesterday at Haydock, when falling at the last flight of hurdles. I’m pleased to report he’s fine today and will back again soon.
