ROCKETEER 2nd at Lingfield

Rocketeer ran a fine race in defeat at Lingfield on Saturday in the three-year-old Novice race. Sent about his business from the start of the 5 furlong race by his Jockey, Daniel Muscutt, Rocketeer was a bit green but quickly was in the leading pair. He saw off all of his rivals bar the eventual winner but we were very pleased with his effort.

GARTH ROCKETT WINS at Lingfield

Garth Rockett once again put his best foot forward and recorded the seventh win of his career at Lingfield yesterday. Given a fine ride by jockey, Daniel Muscutt, he stayed close to the pace and when turning for home set about Garth who responded gamely to win the race by a length and a half.
Yesterday was his first win at 6 furlongs as all of his previous winners and been over a trip which was a furlong longer. However, Garth and been showing a lot of speed at home and we felt it was worth dropping him back in trip once again which duly paid dividends.
We are delighted for his owner, Phil Banfield, who although not able to be there was able to watch the race live. The Rockett is a real trier and takes a fair old grip on the gallops but we love having him in the yard.

VELVET VISION 2nd at Southwell

Velvet Vision ran another outstanding race at Southwell on Thursday. She was a little unlucky as the pace horse in the race, Bond Angel, was withdrawn at the start and so there was not as much pace in the race as we would've liked. However, Daniel Muscutt went forward on our filly and tried his best to snatch the race but she was beaten by a much better handicapped horse on the day.
We were once again thrilled with her run although mildly disappointed that she wasn't able to fulfil the three timer. She didn't lose anything in defeat and we will see how she comes out of the race. Hopefully she can continue her upwards trajectory as she is a fine filly and a pleasure to have in the yard.

VELVET VISION WINS AGAIN

Velvet Vision recorded her second victory for the yard at Chelmsford yesterday. She jumped quite well from the stalls and her jockey, Daniel Muscutt, had her in a good position in the middle of the pack. She travelled well and when turning for home was able to run the leaders down and get ahead in front in the final furlong.
We are all absolutely delighted with the filly. She has a great temperament and a will to win and is also a fine looking specimen.
Velvet Vision can be a little keen at home but my assistant, Michael Keady, has done a great job in getting her to settle.
We have been out to Tesco to get some Krispy Kreme doughnuts which the lads are celebrating with this morning!

MULZIM WINS AGAIN at Southwell

Mulzim returned to Southwell yesterday just 8 days after his victory over course and distance and won again. He was once again given a positive ride by his jockey, Daniel Muscutt, who had him up with the pace from the start. He showed a good attitude to see off all of his opponents especially in the final furlong.
It has been a very frustrating 2 1/2 years with Mulzim who is fragile but we are delighted to see him get his head in front on two occasions this year. Credit must go to our vets and farriers who have kept him together over this period. We will take it one race at time with him due to his issues.
The photo shows Mulzim with lass, Zoe Waters who orides him out each day, and winning owner, Victoria Taylor, who missed his first win the prior week but managed to get to see him yesterday.
