A Big Step Forward

Great to see Sajwaan run the kind of race we were hoping for at Lingfield last week. He finished 4th beaten less than one length by the winner and it looks like we should be able to run at the same course again next week with a chance of going even better.

Dynamic Kate

I am off to Neil Mulholland's yard tomorrow to see our other horse, Dynamic Kate. She should be back racing in the Spring.

She does look like she will be stronger this year and hopefully, that will see her continue her progression of form after winning twice in the autumn.

I still have shares for sale at ￡351 per 1% share covering to the end of October 2023, so please do get in touch if you are interested to find out more!

Sajwaan

As mentioned above, Sajwaan put in a much better performance at Lingfield than he had a Kempton.?Despite being fitted with a visor, he did not start as quickly as we thought he would as he seemed to want to wait until he could see another horse alongside.?It looked for a moment like he might fold in the home straight but he battled really well and was only 3/4 of a length behind the winner in finishing 4th.

This means that he obviously saw out the 6f trip well and handles the track and therefore it was a pretty easy decision to nominate a race with similar conditions at the same course next Friday as his next target. Trainer, Michael Attwater thinks that having got used to the visor, Sajwaan will be better at the start next time and hopefully that will enable him to deliver a slightly better result.?

We had a very enjoyable afternoon in the Lingfield syndicate owners' lounge and we won a small amount of prize money which is always nice!

I think that last week's race highlighted that Sajwaan was indeed a bargain at the price we paid.?Whilst in theory I could now increase his valuation and his share price, I am prepared to hold it at the current level until after his next race.?I will however hold the 1% share price at ￡325 until next week and will even backdate new shareholders so they receive the small amount of prizemoney from last week.

If you want to come racing on next Friday, then you can! Costs include the share purchase (with rights to the same share of any future sale) along with all training fees to the end of 2023.?

Installment payments are fine and there are discounts for 5% & 10% purchases.

Warwick Syndicate Raceday

On Friday 24th February the Racehorse Syndicates Association is running a syndicate race day at Warwick racecourse.?

I will have the BG Racing gazebo on site, admission is just ￡5 so please come racing and if you do, please come and say hello!

Inside The Rails

The February, Inside The Rails podcast with an interview with Rishi Persad is out now. The ITV Racing presenter is a great guest and I am sure you will enjoy listening to the interview. Please download the podcast, give us a listen and tell your friends!

Winners From Our Stables

A few placed horses for our two trainers this week but just one winner.

That one was a bit of a surprise as in a curious race with several jumping errors, Dead Right put in a strong finish to run down the leader close to the line and win at Taunton for Neil Mulholland. We thought he might find a few too good but hopefully, some people did not know that and bet on him anyway!
