Hopeful that Shantou Magic can come back to form on decent spring ground at Newbury today. Glad that he's reunited with Aidan Coleman......jockey and trainer both in great form, so definite prospect...

Well done Roddy. I'm taking this as a big positive for Our Reward, who beat your fella at Durrow ptp. ;)
Well the first one ran an absolute stinker and is a lot better than that. Snowden yard still under a cloud.
Our Reward goes in the Bangor bumper in 5 minutes' time. Jamie Snowden has been quiet but had a welcome winner in an earlier race which gives some encouragement.
Then Shantou Magic in the Caspian...
Shantou Magic runs in a competitive C2 handicap at Bangor tomorrow, named to commemorate Arkle's owner who apparently lived locally. Trainer's been winning a few big pots lately and it's time we had...
OR now a non-runner. Banged his shoulder in his box overnight. Not been a great week!
Not a lot of encouragement there, TQ still seems to have breathing issues. But we put these disappointments behind us and look forward to the next runner, which is Our Reward in a quite competitive...
Our novice hurdler Thady Quil tries again at Towcester today. A serious breathing problem prevented him showing any form in his first two starts and hopefully that has now been rectified. He'll get a...
Very well done, he just flew up the run-in. What an exciting race it was!
Encouraged by the performance of both horses. Shantou Magic was leading a high-class field at the 3rd last after which he started to tire and clouted the next fence. The stuffing was knocked out of...
Doubly represented at Newton Abbot tomorrow.
Shantou Magic runs in the Intermediate Chase. He's a few pounds wrong at the weights with the top two, but in his favour he runs well fresh and the...
We''ll do our best to find him a good home Trudi.
We've retired Primo Capitano. Yesterday's race at Southwell showed beyond any doubt that he no longer has the heart for racing. Sad, but there we go.
Another option worth considering is to continue with a low-dose administration of Omeprazole as a prophylactic while the horse is in training. That's how we're (hopefully) managing the condition with...
Primo Capitano goes in the last at Newton Abbot. The going change wouldn't be in his favour, but the yard has just won the novice chase with another Milan, which is encouraging.
A much more encouraging effort from Primo last night, not far short of his early-season form. Has had quite a lengthy break so we'll continue to run him over the summer. He'll be trained "from the...
Probably "last chance saloon" for Primo Capitano at Ffos Las tonight. Since his last dismal effort he's been treated for Level 4 gastric ulcers, kissing spines and an arthritic hock -- no wonder the...
Thady Quil tries again tonight at Southwell in quite a competitive little maiden hurdle. We're hopeful that his poor run last time can be ignored as he was found to have pulled muscles behind the...
Yesterday was a bit of a disaster but that was too bad to be true. Wayne Hutch said he was never running with any freedom and thought that something was hurting him behind. We'll have his back...
Haha, yes I've listened to the Clancy Bros recording and I don't think we'll ever match that! Unfortunately the owner/breeder registered the horse with only one "l" and now we're stuck with this...
New horse Thady Quil makes his UK debut in the opener at Newton Abbot tomorrow. Second in both his Irish points, beaten 10 lengths by the highly-rated Hawkhurst who was sold for £200k at the...
We've found another egg-and-spoon race for Shantou Magic at Southwell this evening. Nothing can go wrong.....can it? Hope not, as I need a tonic following really bad news earlier in the week that our...
Although I no longer own him, I'll be cheering on my old friend Vincitore and Claire Hart in today's Foxhunters. Only pony-sized, but a bold jumper who could well outrun his odds of 66-1.
...
And Future Gilded in the £50k chase. Tipped up by Timeform I see, but he won't go up if the ground turns heavy. Frustrating situation if we pull out because Jamie is in tremendous form.
Roddy, I've sent you a pm.
