1st March 2025: Tantomile brings up our second winner of the year at Southwell in the hands of Ethan Tindall. Our filly jumped from the gate well and Ethan got a lovely early position just off the pace. Travelling well as the field turned for home, Ethan asked her for an effort and with a little encouragement she hit the front inside the final furlong. She crossed the line going away, much to the delight of members in attendance.
11th January 2025: Showhound starts the year with a bang! Under a positive ride from Oisin, our four year old gelding brought up his second career victory at Newcastle. After a couple of close second places since losing his maiden tag we were delighted to see him get his nose in front again. Well done to members who braved the cold to spend some time in the winners enclosure, hopefully for the first of many times in 2025.
1st November 2024: Beattie Is Back got his nose in front at Newcastle, giving young apprentice Warren Fentiman his first winner under rules. Sitting near the rear of the field for the first half of the race, Warren began to ask our Mason gelding for an effort with three furlongs to go. The pair quietly went about their business picking off one rival at a time before hitting the front in the final strides. What a thrill for members present and well done to Warren.
14th October 2024: Club members who enjoy a trip to Musselburgh were treated with another trip to the winners enclosure. This time it was South Parade who brought up her second win of the year. Taking up the early running, Oisin set perfect fractions along the inside rail and approaching the furlong marker it was clear she was travelling much the best. She ran through the line really well to win by just over a length.
At £249 for a 12 month membership, you could be in the winners circle with our next winner and with Christmas approaching, we can't think of a better gift for racing enthusiasts!
2nd October 2024: True Nation secured his second win of the year at Musselburgh over the mile trip. Breaking sharply, our filly travelled really nicely through the race in third place, hugging the rail round the tight bottom bend conserving energy. With two furlongs to go she looked the obvious winner but was made to battle for the win. Oisin in the saddle scored his third winner on the card and brought up our eighth winner of the year.
3rd September 2024: Haworth Star gets his head in front at Newcastle under Oisin! Our Bated Breath gelding travelled really well through the early part of the race and approaching the two furlong marker he was pretty much the only horse still on the bridle. Lacking room, Oisin was bold and stuck our geldings nose through a small gap and found some daylight. He still had plenty to do in the final furlong but with space to run into he soon closed the gap on the leaders and went past the post a length in front bringing up our seventh winner of the year.
9th August 2024: A winner at Thirsk! South Parade gets her first career win under a well executed front running ride by Jack Garritty. Our three year old filly never really looked in danger, running on really well to line with nothing else in the race getting close to her. It's great to have a winner at one of our local tracks and our members in attendance enjoyed a sixth visit to the winners circle this year.
5th June 2024: True Nation brings up our fifth winner of the year at Nottingham. We were delighted to provide young apprentice Ethan Tindall with his first winner under rules. Our members were suitably impressed with Ethan's ride, getting the tactics spot on. Sensing a very slow early pace, Ethan took the race by the scruff of the neck, leading the field after the first furlong. From there he set excellent fractions and had a willing partner who kept on finding in the closing stages to run out a clear winner. Many congratulations and hopefully the first of many for Ethan.
31st May 2024: Southern Voyage gets off the mark for the Racing Club. Ridden by Adam Farragher at one of our local tracks, Doncaster. Despite our six year old Wootton Bassett gelding being a little keen early in the race, he hit the front with two furlongs to go and had just enough left in the tank to hit the line in the lead. Happy days for our members in attendance who enjoyed a bit of Donny hospitality in their winners enclosure.
5th May 2024: Quite a day for our club! Our six year old grey, My Little Queens picked up a seventh win of her career and in some style too. Jack Garritty took the ride up at Hamilton Park and in truth he'll have few easier winners this year! She travelled like a good thing and when asked to go and win the race, she readily pulled clear of her opponents with Jack able to coast through the final 100 yards.
However it was our Dandy Man colt Airman who really got our members excited. Following his debut win last year at Beverley, he returned to the track at Hamilton in a classy looking £20k novice event carrying a penalty. Dave Nolan in the saddle let him bowl along in front and despite carrying 11lbs more than the 88 rated horse in second, he came home in front. He'll come on plenty for the run from a fitness perspective and with only two starts under his belt he'll no doubt improve again for the experience. A step up in class beckons, exciting times for our members who get to be part of his journey.
8th April 2024: Captain Dandy brought up our first winner of the year at Wolverhampton. Ridden by Oisin, he was held up early on but made smooth progress as they turned for home. Despite being off the track for six months, he was fit and ready to see out his race and kept on really well once hitting the front.
