Hello to all our owners, supporters and friends of the yard,

As the season continues to gather momentum, we have been delighted with the way our horses have been performing in recent weeks. It has been a busy and encouraging period, with several pleasing performances on the racecourse and plenty of horses continuing to make excellent progress at home.

After a frustrating spell around Royal Ascot, when the horses simply weren't performing to the standard we expected, it has been a welcome relief to see the yard return to form. Our recent figures (67% RTF) are a reflection of the horses' wellbeing and the tremendous work being done by the team at home.

At the beginning of the year, we felt we had assembled one of our strongest teams to date, combining an established group of older horses with an exciting crop of two-year-olds. That confidence is now beginning to show on the racecourse. With Billy Lee firmly in the hunt for the jockeys' championship and the yard chasing what would be a record season for winners, we head into the second half of the campaign with real optimism. A healthy mix of proven performers and exciting young horses still to come gives us every reason to look forward to the months ahead.
