The 165th Grand National was a very special one but not for the right reasons. The Gold Cup winner at Cheltenham last month had to be put down after suffering injuries during the race. Synchronised, who was ridden by Tony McCoy fell at Becher’s Brook on the first circuit of the track, but did … Continue reading
We had mixed feelings about Synchronised, mixed because we are glad the horse won but annoyed that we had missed out backing him again! My friend Vernon Allen and I spent the day at Jackdaws with the Gold Cup Winner and Jonjo O’Neill and although we got to know everything about him did not back him … Continue reading

Alison Lidderdale |
The Racing Horse was given a much needed winner in Where’s Riley, and whilst we visualised the race much differently to how it panned out, the horse won by the best part of 2l. I now have an affection for the vivacious Alison Lidderdale and take this opportunity to share my greatest day out in … Continue reading
Whilst up at Jonjo O’Neill’s Jackdaw Castle Stables during the week we had a good look at Thehillofuisneach 2.20 Uttoxeter to check on his well being and can report the horse looked great! This Irish point winner shaped with plenty of promise in novice hurdles before confirming that his opening mark was all wrong at … Continue reading
