Our Latest Newsletter to our Racehorse Owners

January News to our OWNERS

Happy New Year and welcome to the Heart of the South Racing newsletter. We trust everyone enjoyed the festive break and hope you are looking forward to some great racing in 2009! After such a prosperous 2007, last year was somewhat quiet in comparison however with the acquisition of some new horses, and with a change in tactics in some of our existing ones, we are confident 2009 will be our most successful year yet!

SOUTH CAPE by Cape Cross – We are extremely hopeful of more moments in the Winners Enclosure with SOUTH CAPE, who’s breeding and frame suggests progression for a good few years yet. The horse has already won 6 races and over £85,000 during his racing career so far and, with some clever race planning, we continue to dream of that big race win! Unfortunately while enjoying his winter in the paddocks SOUTH CAPE injured his offside front leg late last year but all is healing very well and he is still expected to be back on the track in May. Owner hotline press 11 for SOUTH CAPE.


KASHMINA by Dr Fong – After finishing fourth in all of her races over hurdles, the ground on her latest outing at Fontwell Park earlier this month proved too testing and jockey Jamie Goldstein rightly eased up on KASHMINA once it was apparent she was not enjoying the surface. Rather than race on the all-weather while the ground is unsuitable, Trainer Sheena West has recommended giving the filly a few months rest during the harsh winter months thus keeping her fresh for a campaign of summer racing. Owner Hotline dial 12 for KASHMINA.


TOBAGO BAY by Tobougg – This brave little fellow has really turned his fortunes around in 2008 and is now considered one of the top juveniles in the country. He has already ran at CHELTENHAM twice this season (finishing third & sixth) and should the ground be better at the festival for the Fred Winter Hurdle we are hopeful of being in the Winners Enclosure once again! Owner hotline press button 13 for TOBAGO BAY.


GOODWOOD STARLIGHT by Mtoto – Trained to win four races by John Dunlop this super little horse will be trained by Gary Moore in 2009. He is currently enjoying a rest during the winter months where he is relaxing in the paddocks and growing. This partnership was very popular and all shares were sold within two weeks of us purchasing the horse. He will be going back into training in February and will be aimed at all the major race meetings next year. Owner hotline press 14 for GOODWOOD STARLIGHT


OR JAUNE (Fr) by Grand Tressor - Fontwell Park Racing – After such a promising chasing debut at Huntingdon, we were all very disappointed with OR JAUNE’s third place at Fontwell Park just before Christmas. Reasons for the poor run could be the tight figure of eight track, and maybe the wrong race tactics, but he will need to improve considerably if the Cheltenham Festival is still a target. We are just hoping it was one of those ‘days to forget’ and now look ahead to his next run – possibilities include January 14 at Newbury or January 17 at Wincanton. Owner hotline press 15 for OR JAUNE


ENTHUSIUS by Generous – Fontwell Park Racing – This son of derby winner GENEROUS has really sharpened up after his outing at Newbury and trainer Gary Moore is pleased with how the horse is working. He ideally wants decent ground and with the current going at Fontwell Park good, good-to-soft in places, ENTHUSIUS looks likely to go there on Wednesday 7 January. Should however it be unsuitable, there are some AW options at Lingfield Park (16 & 30 January) and Great Leighs (15 January). Owner hotline press 17 for ENTHUSIUS


EYE FOR THE GIRLS by BERTOLINI – A firm favourite at Heart of the South, this 2-year old gelding is also currently out in the paddocks (with his best pal GOODWOOD STARLIGHT!) whilst the National Hunt season is in full swing. He eats more than any horse we have at rest and is consequently growing and maturing tremendously. We expect him to be a different horse next season. Owner hotline press 21 for EYE FOR THE GIRLS.


PRIMA FONTEYN by IMPERIAL DANCER – After a noticeable improvement at Lingfield Park last month, PRIMA FONTEYN will run again at Lingfield this Saturday 3 January. The trip is over 1mile 2furlongs and trainer Sheena West is confident we will again see a big development if the filly can settle early on. Being a maiden race it is a fairly stiff contest but will hopefully open up our chances for future races. Owner hotline press 22 for PRIMA FONTEYN.


MOSHAHED by Nashwan – Fontwell Park Racing – This lovely horse has been on the walker for the last month and next week will commence roadwork (walking and trotting) before going back into full-training in late February. It has been a somewhat frustrating period for his owners, due to an injury setback just before MOSHAHED was due to run in September, but patience will prevail with this individual who will now be trained by Gary Moore. He enjoys the better ground so will be another summer jumper for Heart of the South Racing. Owner hotline press 23 for MOSHAHED.


DICEY AFFAIR by MEDICEAN – With every run we saw a marked improvement in DICEY AFFAIR. However just before her first Nursery race she turned in her coat and consequently ran a bit flat. The filly is now out in the paddocks to grow and mature. She should develop into a lovely little 3-year old this summer and will most certainly provide her owners with lots of fun. Owner hotline press 24 for DICEY AFFAIR.


Unnamed gelding by OLD VIC - The latest horse to join the partnership string is a 4-year old by OLD VIC - a phenomenal National Hunt sire who has produced the likes of KICKING KING, RACING DEMON, OUR VIC, COMPLY OR DIE and more recently SNOOPY LOOPY. We purchased this individual at the Breeze-up sales earlier this month and he should be ready to race in the next month. He will start in bumpers before quickly moving to hurdles but will ultimately be a 3mile chaser. This 10-owner partnership was the most popular syndicate we have ever put together and all shares have already been sold. Owner hotline press 26 for this unnamed gelding by OLD VIC.
