OPTICALITY 🥈 What a star this filly has been from the moment she came to us as a 3 year old and for owner Paul Simmons . She is our first runner since moving to Tim Vaughan Racing and showed us she’s got more to come. A consistent dual purpose filly to enjoy and look forward to.

Great run! Second at 33/1 💥

Opticality has been with assistant trainer Mitchell Hunt since debut and is still thriving up our gallops too 👏

Heaven gained a true gentleman yesterday 🎩 MARDOOF will never be forgotten, he became a yard favorite , never missed a meal and known for being the slowest walker and trotter but a different horse as soon as he got on the canter or saw a hurdle. He won his maiden last season and currently is the longest distance winner at Taunton winning by 22 lengths which will always be a day to remember. Unfortunately he won’t get his time again, but what a fantastic horse he was for owners Barford Premier. I owe him everything and if another one like him comes along we sure will be lucky. R.I.P DOOF 🎩🕊️⭐️

A fantastic run from JUST GO FOR IT to come 3rd in the feature race at Wincanton today under another great ride from Sean Houlihan. Despite being put up 10lbs for her previous win she showed she is still progressing at a fine age of 11. Well done to all connections and John Bishop 👏🏻 This is very well deserved 🥉

A creditable run from OUTSIDE ADESA who looked a picture in the paddock at Ascot today. A big, scopey 6 year old who appreciates the better ground and looks to have a nice future ahead of him🍀 Well done to owners Mr Simon Rushworth and family.

🥇 OPTICALITY 🥇wins under a patient ride from Sean Kirrane who I’m delighted to give a winner to! Well done to owner Paul Simmons who has had a fantastic dual purpose campaign with this horse. GMR Couriers

🏆 🥇 JUST GO FOR IT 🏆🥇 storms home to win by over 8 lengths under a fantastic ride by Sean Houlihan, at 11 years of age she’s showing she’s still got it. Well done to everyone involved in this lovely consistent mare.
🥈MINI YEATS ran a great race to come 2nd on chasing debut. He’s not the usual looking chaser, being the smallest jump horse we have, but his jumping has always been a strong point and he took to it very well. His future definitely lies over the bigger fences, a great ride given by Micheal Nolan. Well done everyone especially the team behind the scenes who are fantastic 🙏🏻 GMR Couriers

🥇 CHANKAYA gets off the mark over hurdles at our local track, from a great ride by Cameron Iles. A very patient few years has finally paid off with him and he could well improve again. Well done to his owner and yard sponsor Mr Simon Rushworth and family. 🟢🔴⚪️ MINI YEATS put in a nice front running ride in first time headgear unfortunately just not getting the trip. 🔵⚫️ The ever so consistent GINDERELLA came 2nd bumping into one again, under a great ride by Sean Houlihan to give her owners another great day out and winning best turned out🥈 Well done to everyone involved and the team at home who make these days worth it. 🍀 GMR Couriers

Happy Birthday Laurie , here’s a few throwbacks since you joined us 🔞 Enjoy your 18th and good luck on your first ride pointing tomorrow. YOU NO ME TO WELL will make her stable debut for us at Larkhill and hopefully a safe spin round 👏🏻 The Team will be in full support 🍀 🥂

🥈Another consistent run from GINDERELLA to come 2nd in testing conditions under Lorcan Murtagh. Well done to her owners who always have a fantastic day out with her 🔵⚫️ and always a great job done by the team at home where our last 3 runners have been placed, including TAILORMAN who successfully sold at Cheltenham today for £35,000. Wishing his new connections the best of luck with him 🍀 GMR Couriers

LOT 3 TAILORMAN sells this weekend at Cheltenham. A nicely flat bred horse who made an eye catching racecourse debut last week showing greenness throughout but staying on nicely to come 2nd beaten just 3/4 of a length. A horse with a lot of potential going forward and a pedigree that improves with age.

🥇 OPTICALITY breaks her maiden tag under a fine ride by Rhys Clutterbuck. Well done to everyone especially her owner Paul Simmons having his first thoroughbred winner. An unlucky filly in the past who deserved this. Our first winner for new yard sponsers 🟢🔴 Top job from the whole team. 👍🏽
