Love Your Looks - a WINNER

Love Your Looks appreciated the step up in trip to record a win at
Wolverhampton on Friday night. She was always travelling well within
herself, towards the rear, and was able to make a winning move
approacing the 3f marker. She stayed on well up the straight to win by
2 & 3/4 lengths from the favourite, Pinotage.

The photograph shows the good looking filly with Heidi and two of her breeders (Thorsten and Susan Feddern).

Greensward and Ducal join the yard

We have been busy at the Newmarket Horses In Training sales this week purchasing two horses for syndication. The first horse is Greeensward, bought out of Brian Meehan's yard, who is a 5yo by Green Desert. He has won 4 of his 17 starts and has been placed 2nd and 3rd twice. That makes his win and place strike rate an above average 47%. He is a horse who needs time between his races but it looks as though he can remain competitive and win further good class races at 7f.
We have cantered him at home and he is a very good mover and straightforward. We will post details of shares in him on our website in the near future. We already have a race in mind for him!

Ducal is a 3yo gelding by Iceman. He did not race at 2 due to being big and backward. However, he has started to come to himself recently with 3212 from figures in his last four runs. We believe he can improve again in 2012.

Chapter And Verse 3rd btn a nose and a head

Chapter And Verse ran very well at Nottingham yesterday to be third, beaten a nose and a head. The ground was officially given as Good to Firm but it was loose on top and would not have suited our horse as he likes genuine quick ground. However, he battled on and just got touched off in the final furlong. The horse has been campaigned at high levels this year and he hasn't had the ground or the luck in running. However, we are confident there is a big race in him again were the ground is quick and the pace is good.

Rock Anthem 3rd at Windsor

The photograph below shows Rock Anthem who was third at Windsor on
17th October. Always travelling well under Keiron Fallon he did not
have the kick of the first two in ground which was a bit easier than
ideal for him. He runs tonight back on the Kempton Polytrack and we
are hopeful he will give a good account of himself.

Lutine Bell at Ascot

Lutine Bell returned to Ascot on Saturday for the apprentice race. His
jockey, David Kenny, followed instructions but the horse was not able
to pick up at the 3f pole. We feel the race came too quickly after his
run at Tork the previous Saturday.
The photograph below shows Lutine with owners Fred and Chris Carr and
Bill and Chris Rogerson. Unfortunately we have managed to only get
half of Bill in the photo!

Love Your Looks 2nd Kempton

Love Your Looks came 2nd last Thursday at Kempton. She was a bit green
and was a little further back than ideal at the beginning of the race.
However, she picked up in the straight but the winner had a turn of
foot and she lost by a couple of lengths. We were happy with her
progress and we shall try again over a similar trip.
