TEAM WORK
Working Together For Success
When trust and skill work together, you can expect excellence.
Success is an immeasurable team effort. A dedicated and enthusiastic team working tirelessly behind the scenes contributes to every single winner. A relaxed and friendly atmosphere promotes a stress-free environment, which in turn reflects on the horses. Teamwork is paramount.
Ownership
Experience The Thrill
Horse racing may be known as the ‘Sport of Kings’ but nowadays ownership is available to everyone. There are numerous ways to enjoy the thrill of owning a racehorse.
Racehorse ownership can be exhilarating; an uplifting diversion from the mundane, but must not be seen as an investment! It is a form of recreation, one that will provide an adrenaline rush and sheer buzz like no other.
TODAY'S NEWS
Wednesday 24th June
At Musselburgh, on Monday Amantha, ridden by Pierre-Louis Jamin, obliged in the '100% Racing TV Profits Back To Racing Selling Stakes over the 7f trip for owners Nick Bradley Racing 17 & Partner, who also owned the 2nd horse, we beat by a nose.
Regal Desire was an unlucky 2nd at Beverley yesterday, after being badly hampered 1f out. He lost his momentum and Ben (Robinson) had to switch him left where he made eyecatching headway inside the final furlong.
Tomorrow is the start of Newcastle's Plate meeting, where we hope to have some winners in front of our home crowd over the course of the three days. Fasthope (14.37) and Space Moon (18.07) will run for owner Mr Keith Brown, and will be ridden by Ben Robinson. Ben also rides Bonjour Belle, in the colours of Mr Joseph Bell & Mr Tony Wood, and Record Day, who runs in the ownership of Mrs Claire Ellison, but shares in him are for sale! Contact us for more information.
Friday is an evening meeting and Langton Wold, Viper, Maldevious and Miners Gamble have all been declared.
Saturday is the 'Pitmens Derby' and a race that is special in the hearts of Geordie race goers. In 2024, we were lucky enough to win the race with Onesmoothoperator, which fulfilled Brian's lifetime ambition, and set 'Smoothie' on a path that would take him down under to compete in the presigious Melbourne Cup, winning the Group 3 Geelong Cup on his way. After travelling back to Australia last year, Smoothie did us, and his owner, Patrick Boyle, proud again when he won the Group 2 Moonee Valley Cup. Sadly for us, Smoothie remained in Melbourne, where he will be trained for this years Melbourne Cup by a good friend of ours, Tim Fitzimmons. We wish them the very best of luck.
In Saturday's renewal of the Plate, Mr Boyle is doubly represented with Tashkhan and St Etienne, and we are hoping that we can repeat the great success of 2024 with one of them. Laafy wont make the big race, but will get into the consulation race, the Northumbrian Vase, with Bloodsweatandtyres and Taj Mahal also being declared for Saturday's card.
We are also at York on Saturday, with Fortification and Terrorise, and on Sunday it will be back to National Hunt action, with Letmeseethecolts, Dinons and Dream Jet at Cartmel.

Testimonials
At this Brian’s record speaks for itself. So often other trainers cast offs turn up at Spring Cottage and before long are in the winners enclosure.
Of course racing is all about winners but of equal importance is the race day experience.
Both Brian and his wife Claire are straightforward, honest and reliable people who do everything possible to make sure every owners visit to the races is a memorable and special occasion.”
