Yesterday was a great day for the yard when our team member Dawn Henry was victorious in the Flying Fillies Charity race in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund held at Catterick racecourse. Mrs Verity’s gelding can hopefully benefit from this confidence booster and lines up at Bangor on Dee tomorrow in a 2m 4 1/2 f handicap chase. Dawn gave Ciggy a copybook ride following instructions to the letter, she has ridden in 3 charity races now and won them all. She looks forward to beginning her campaign in the amateur ranks shortly.

The yards few runners have been in good form of late scoring placed efforts with Day of Roses getting in the winner’s enclosure twice last week. Another month and the winter horses will be starting their campaign.
