Horses to follow
All the Glory
All The Glory is looking in great shape at Jackdaws as preparations continue for the new jump season, with our mare steadily building her fitness ahead of her return to the racecourse.
We have two lovely new videos of All The Glory to share with members and she looks bright, relaxed and very happy to be back into her routine. It’s great to get another glimpse of her at home as the team gradually begin to increase her workload.
Trainers, Jonjo and AJ O'Neill said: “All The Glory is looking and going well. She is now back up to two canters on the hill gallops as we build up her fitness and look forward to the season ahead.”
Tidal Force
There was plenty to get excited about from Tidal Force at Chester on Saturday, with our striking two-year-old showing another glimpse of the talent that we have always believed he possesses on just the second start of his career.
Only nine days on from his debut at Haydock, Tidal Force looked a different proposition from the moment the gates opened. He absolutely flew out of stall two, immediately putting himself into the race and showing so much natural sharpness that he found himself at the head of the field.
Phoenix Of Dreams is set to make his long awaited return to the racecourse
After his mishap in the stalls at Ayr last month, Phoenix Of Dreams was required to pass a stalls test in order to be deemed ready to head back out on track. Thankfully he passed that with flying colours and has since found himself entered in various different races around the country. Although none of those entries ended with Phoenix Of Dreams ending up back out on track, mainly due to the weather providing unsuitable ground for our five-year-old, John & Sean Quinn have found a race which is perfectly suited to our gelding at Southwell on Thursday.
Daily racing and football news, tips, form
Sweet Katarina, Caught the eye at Ascot.
Sweet Katarina took another really encouraging step forward at Ascot on Friday, putting her natural speed on show and giving us plenty to be excited about.
She absolutely flew out of the stalls under Lewis Edmunds and quickly found herself at the head of the field. From there she bowled along happily in front, looking comfortable and confident as she led her rivals through much of the mile.
Phoenix Of Dreams back on track.
There’s some very good news to share from the Phoenix Of Dreams camp, with our boy successfully passing his stalls test at Catterick. Passed gracefully.
Following his uncharacteristic mishap in the stalls at Ayr, Phoenix Of Dreams has been doing some additional work at home. Both John and the team felt that what happened that day was completely out of character for him but before he could return to the racecourse, he was required to complete an official stalls test.
Greek Symphony goes close.
Greek Symphony produced another hugely encouraging performance at Epsom on Friday, finishing third in a thrilling finish to the Class 5 Nursery over seven furlongs.
Ridden once again by Ashley Lewis, our lovely filly was settled at the rear of the five-runner field through the early stages before beginning to make her move approaching the final two furlongs. She travelled into contention nicely and showed a great attitude when asked to go and win her race, powering through late on.
Katalyst set for exciting return to Nottingham
We're delighted to see Katalyst entered for Nottingham next Tuesday evening, where she's set to return to a course that produced one of her better runs.
Our lovely three-year-old filly produced one of the most thrilling performances of the season at Nottingham earlier this year. Just when it looked as though she had done enough, Coral Racing Club hearts sank as she was caught in the final strides, losing out by the narrowest of margins.
