Wendywilldo Nicely

The first day of the Cheltenham Festival proved to be a winning one for Danny when Wendywilldo gave him (& the yard) its first ever Bumper success – the fact it happened at Sedgefield was neither here nor there; the Tuesday of Festival week was special and that’s that!

A roman emperor takes Thirsk & a deal is struck at Catterick

As they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day (well the Colosseum part of it at any rate which his namesake was responsible for completing….) and our own Flavius Titus has also taken his time to once again rule the racecourses of North Yorkshire – but rule them he did with a brilliant victory over […]

A Perfect Storm At Ayr

It seemed that the weather was vying for favouritism with its descriptive namesake today at Ayr when Rocco Storm lined up in the 2m 1/2f, 0-100 handicap chase. With persistent rain banishing any semblance of “soft in places” it was truly heavy all over by the time racing got underway, with the diminutive Rocco set […]

Stan The Man regains the Bragging Rights!

Poor old Sonning’s bragging rights only lasted a mere 24 hours before he had to pass the mantle back to Stan (aka Silkstone) who had previously held them (jointly with Rocco Storm) for 18 days!

Super Sonning is Supersonic

Sonning fairly blitzed his rivals at Musselburgh in the 0-115 handicap hurdle over two miles yesterday. Carrying both Henry & a fair amount of lead which added up to a welter burden of 12 stone, the four year old was not only running off top weight but also giving almost, if not in excess of, […]

Sonning On Song At Sedgefield

Sonning delighted connections and everyone at the yard at Sedgefield yesterday when winning the 0-110 handicap hurdle off top weight on ground that had turned into a bit of worry when the rain changed it to good to soft, from the good that is his optimum.

It always pays to be brave round Aintree and Fearless lived up his name in good style when giving Danny & everyone in the yard a welcome winner last Friday evening.

Glengarry Keeping It Local

The key to Glengarry might just be that he likes to stay close to home as he made the short journey last night to win the penultimate race at Thirsk, and in doing so kept up his record of providing connections with one win per month following on from victories at Redcar in June and […]

TOWIE for Globetrotter

The only way was indeed Essex for Globetrotter last night as he and Kev had a boys night out at Chelmsford City. Running in the 0-55 handicap over 1m6f, this was Globetrotter’s 2nd run following a soft palate procedure and the penny had clearly dropped that breathing was good as he ran right through the […]

Glengarry Wins At Redcar

Glengarry provided Danny with his first flat turf winner on Tuesday when winning the 0-60 handicap over one mile at Redcar by a cosy neck! Given a “typical Graham Lee ride” by the man himself, it was made to look easy when in reality it shouldn’t have been – with Glengarry off top weight in […]

Melgate “Force” Majeure

As defined by the Collins Dictionary, Melgate Majeure certainly proved to be  an “irresistible and – having been sent off at 20/1 some might also say – unexpected force” on the all-weather at Newcastle yesterday when he won Division 1 of the 0-60 handicap over 1m2f; in the process giving Danny his first winner as […]

Beaten but not Bowed…..

Fiddlers Bow made his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster last Friday, almost a year after his last (winning) run at Ayr. Considering the extremely wet autumn / winter to date, the unseasonably dry spring which had prevented him from running since January seemed but a distant memory….!
