THE TURF SEASON starts at Doncaster today but the yard has no runners at Town Moor as Librisa Breeze and Badenscoth are non-runners but Broxi runs in the 3.55 at Kempton, making his debut for the stable.

RAYDEN SOLICITORS booked Solario Racing to host a “Cheltenham Gold Cup at Home” for their friends and staff on the final day of the Festival and the day was a huge success, although the Racing Manager’s tipping could have been better!

LAURENTIA DRAWN OUT WIDE AT WOLVES
LAURENTIA is drawn out wide in tonight’s handicap over 1 mile 1/2 furlong at Wolverhampton (8.30pm) which will not help her cause. The four-time winner may also be a little high in the handicap and she is very weak in the betting, the rank outsider of eight at 28/1. George Downing rides the filly who… Read more »

OUT OF FORM STAKE ACCLAIM DIFFICULT TO FANCY
STAKE ACCLAIM, a former classy sprinter, winner of six races and once rated 105 is a shadow of his former self and is difficult to fancy in the 4.40 at Chelmsford today. He’s one of just eight runners in the 5f handicap but is very weak at 20/1 under George Downing. Tumbling down the weights… Read more »

“THAT’S A NICE HORSE” – KEN IVORY
THAT’S a nice horse you’ve got there,” said Ken Ivory this morning to me at the stables. When the former Master of Harper Lodge Farm makes statements like that, it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee…even if it’s decaffeinated! Dean Ivory took over the training licence from his father Ken in 2002, before… Read more »

FOUR KEMPTON RUNNERS HAVE IT ALL TO PROVE
THE STABLE runs four at Kempton tonight, Nezar (4.45pm) Lothario (7.15pm) Soaring Spirits (7.45pm) and Nicky Baby (8.15pm) and all four are weak in the market and have a lot to prove. Nezar would prefer 7f rather than 6f and is better at Wolverhampton. He’s a 14/1 shot under Sophie Ralston. George Downing is aboard both… Read more »

GREENNESS MAY FIND OUT TALENTED HOT CHESNUT
HOT CHESNUT, a half-sister to the stable’s Fighting Temeraire, makes her debut today at Lingfield in the 4.55, a 7f median auction maiden stakes for 3yos and although talented, inexperience will probably find her out today. Bred by her owners, Heather and Michael Yarrow, the daughter of Camacho has always shown ability at home and… Read more »
