August News

SOUTH CAPE by Cape Cross – Another great month for SOUTH CAPE! After a cracking sixth in the £85,000 Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, he followed up with an equally impressive run at Ascot three weeks later in the £150,000 Totesport International. Just missing out on a spot in the Winners Enclosure by a nose, he was forever genuine and ran to the best of his current ability. SOUTH CAPE then missed out on a victory by the shortest of heads at Chester yesterday but is sure to better that performance when he returns to the track later this month. Owner hotline press 11 for SOUTH CAPE.

 

KASHMINA by Dr Fong – The latest horse in our partnership string, KASHMINA is a striking 3-year old filly by the outstanding middle distance Sire DR FONG (a winner of 4 Class 1 races and placed 8 times in Group company (9.7f)). Already placed on the flat when trained by Mick Channon, current trainer Sheena West recently purchased KASHMINA with hurdling in mind and to bring more wins to her already successful yard. 5% shares in this partnership are only £695 and at the time of writing only 8 remain! Next stable visit Saturday 9th August at 10am. Owner Hotline dial 12 for KASHMINA.

 

TOBAGO BAY by Tobougg – It’s now 2 out of 3 wins for TOBAGO BAY over hurdles, last time out at Stratford still managing to finish third even though he was giving a stone to the first two. His next target looks to be on Thursday 21 August at Stratford again but, due to race conditions, just carrying a 10lbs penalty. TOBAGO BAY is rated 123 over hurdles and his transformation is a dream come true for his patient owners. His main target for this year is the big Juvenile Hurdle at Cheltenham in October but a spin on the flat is also a strong possibility – his rating of 50 looking too good to waste!  Owner hotline press button 13 for TOBAGO BAY.

 

ALMIZAN by Darshan – In preparation for three target races all at Fontwell Park – August 21, September 7 and September 25 (all 2mile 6f Handicap Hurdles) ALMIZAN enjoyed a short break last month. He had a warm-up outing last Thursday at Stratford but was not 100% fit and found the trip a little too short. ALMIZAN is a course specialist at Fontwell Park, already winning three times there, and we hope he can add yet another victory at one of the above meetings. Owner hotline press 14 for ALMIZAN.

 

OR JAUNE (Fr) by Grand Tressor - Fontwell Park Racing – OR JAUNE will be back in full-training sometime this month and hopefully winning races come September/October or once the ground retains some juice. He is still light cantering everyday and I have been fortunate enough to ride him myself of late - he is one hell of a horse! So powerful – no chance to relax on this fellow unless I want to end up on the floor! OR JAUNE will go steeplechasing full-time on his return and is an absolute natural over the larger obstacles – a hopeful runner for the 2009 Cheltenham Festival for sure. Owner hotline press 15 for OR JAUNE.

 

CUBAN RHYTHM by Kingmambo – A disappointing month for CUBAN RHYTHM, who after showing so much promise in her first two outings appears to be idling somewhat in her races. Regular jockey Steve Drowne worked her in headgear for the first time on Wednesday and this made a big difference which is encouraging. With all the rain around at present we expect some entries this week, possibilities include: Windsor 10 August, Sandown Park 13 August and Newbury 16 August all 3yo only races over 10 furlongs. Owner hotline press 16 for CUBAN RHYTHM.

 

ENTHUSIUS by Generous – Fontwell Park Racing – Enthusius or ‘The Beast’ as he is affectionately known by some of his owners is due to commence ridden work any day now. He has really grown and strengthened-up during his time off and is sure to develop into a different animal once he gets back on the track this autumn – and he has already won two races! Owner hotline press 17 for ENTHUSIUS.

 

CLEAR DAYLIGHT by DAYLAMI – A pleasing performance on his return to racing as a 3-year old at Lingfield Park on Saturday evening, especially considering the horse was not 100% fit and the distance too short. Trainer John Best wanted to give the horse a ‘blow the cobwebs away’ outing before sending him over his target distance of 1mile 2furlongs next time out. We are extremely confident of a victory in the very near future with this individual who also has the potential to go hurdling in due course. Owner hotline press 19 for CLEAR DAYLIGHT.

 

TIM (stable name) an unnamed 2yo colt by BERTOLINI – Unfortunately this colt picked up a virus which gave him a snotty nose at the beginning of July but we are delighted to report he is now completely over the virus and back in full-training. Owners are very close to naming the horse now and speaking to Joe Tuite, Mick’s Assistant trainer, he said “it was a shame he picked up this slight setback but he will be a very nice horse in time.” Owner hotline press 21 for unnamed Bertolini Colt

 

PRIMA FONTEYN by IMPERIAL DANCER – On paper disappointing so far but looking at her pedigree, we believe she will need a mile plus before showing her potential. Mick Channon has run her in races below this distance because she has been difficult to train on the gallops. PRIMA FONTEYN has shown some improvement on her last two outings at Newbury however and we are confident she will continue to improve with time, and maybe even with a change in tactics. Owner hotline press 22 for NELLY.

 

MOSHAHED by Nashwan – Fontwell Park Racing – As MOSHAHED’s work increases, Brendan Powell’s opinion of the horse follows suit and the trainer has already pencilled in two potential races for the horse both at Worcester on 19 August over 3miles – one a handicap chase, one a Novice chase. MOSHAHED enjoyed a break earlier this year and it appears to have done him the world of good, regular work rider Nathan also noticing a marked difference since the horse’s return. Owner hotline press 23 for MOSHAHED.

 

DICEY AFFAIR by MEDICEAN – This smashing filly trained by Gary Moore has been working very well against his other 2-year olds and was due to make her racecourse debut at Sandown Park last month. However, she was found to have a slight snotty nose and a recent scope has shown she is still a little dirty in her airways. A common occurrence with two-year olds (like young children) Gary has administrated a course of antibiotics and hopes to have her ready to race by next week. Owner hotline press 24 for LINDY LOU.

 

WHITE STAR – WHITE STAR enjoyed his 4th double clear in the Newcomers class last weekend and is now aimed at the 2nd round Newcomer classes with a view for qualification for Horse of the Year 2009. The great day didn't end there for White Star! Justin felt his progress warranted a debut in the Foxhunter Class and he successfully negotiated the 1.20m course and scored an amazing double clear first time out! This week WHITE STAR competes at Addington where, if qualified, he’ll take part in the final on Friday 8 August. It’s then off to Belguim for the International Young Horse Championship!

 

UNIQUE DEUX - Our latest Show Jumping Syndicate is a wonderfully bred 7 year old, grey gelding by ***. UNIQUE DEUX jumped two clear rounds at Redpost Equestrian Show last weekend and Justin is keen to enter the horse for as many shows as possible over the coming weeks with a view to competing in Foxhunters at the earliest opportunity. UNIQUE DEUX continues to work well at home over 1.20m. 5% shares in this fantastic ownership opportunity are £1,400.00 and include a host of exclusive hospitality days. Please call Leon Penny on 07714 684000 for more information on our Show Jumping syndicates.
