Grade 2 success at Aintree kicks off the spring campaign
Thank you for taking a moment to read through our April newsletter.
Last week marked a successful trip to the Aintree Grand National Festival with crack bumper performer Seo Linn doing the business again, as well as an initial Irish success for Australian Bloodstock on their first try with Bubble Gum landing the Noblesse Stakes.

Seo Linn continues to take us to new places!
It was fantastic to see Seo Linn back up her Cheltenham November meeting success when landing the Grade 2 Goffs Nickel Coin Mares bumper at the Aintree Grand National Festival.
A trip to Punchestown may be next for her. After that there’s a good staying programme for her on the flat. She’s learning and she’s improving and should give her owners more fun this summer!
Bubble Gum wins the Noblesse Stakes
New recruit Bubble Gum made a flawless start to her career in Ireland, winning the Listed Noblesse Stakes at Cork on her stable debut on Sunday. Stepping up to 1m4f for the first time, she traveled smoothly under Billy Lee, needing only minimal urgings to run out a comfortable winner.
It's great to get off to a winning start for owners Australian Bloodstock. They have ambitions of winning prestigious races like the Melbourne Cup, so hopefully, we can help them achieve whatever goals they have in mind!
Admiration for the Mullins team
Congratulations to Willie and Patrick Mullins on their historic achievement in the Randox Grand National last weekend.
An incredible training feat to have five of the first seven finishers! Willie continues to be an inspiration, and may his success continue for years to come.
