RATHLIN (Kayf Tara / Princess Timon) wins the Follow us on Facebook Novice Chase at Fairyhouse. He was bred and raised at Crimbourne Stud for Mrs Carrie Zetter-Wells who sold him at Doncaster sales as a 2yr old. A real non event of a race as Ratlin made all and jumped well, he hardly saw another rival and had been out on his own for a long time when losing a bit of concentration in the straight. It`s arguable how much he had left but for the most part he did it well and is thought of by his trainer as a real stayer.

PETOMIC ( Dubai Destination / Petomi ) wins the Enjoy The Punters Package Group Offer Handicap (CLASS 6)at Wolverhampton.Trained by Richard Guest and ridden by Robert L Butler at 10/1. This was his 4th win.

RATHLIN (Kayf Tara / Princess Timon) wins the Visit Fairyhouse.ie Beginners Chase at Fairyhouse. He was bred and raised at Crimbourne Stud for Mrs Carrie Zetter-Wells who sold him at Doncaster sales as a 2yr old.A bit of a transformation here from him to get off the mark over fences with a sound display of jumping from the front. He was afforded an initially soft lead but the more he upped the tempo the less his rivals were able to live with him. He had looked slow and a bit irresolute on occasions before this but a wind operation since his last run seems to have had very much the desired effect.
Jan 04th
ERADICATE (Montjue / Coyote) wins the Membership of Southwell Golf Club Novice’s Chase (class 4) at Southwell. This was Eradicates second win over fences from only 4 starts at 5/4 fav .The slow tempo wouldn`t have been to the liking of dual Swinton Hurdle winner, but class prevailed as he just got the better of Kudu Country in a tight finish, with the pair a long way clear. Eradicate is ideally served by fast ground and a strong pace in his races, but he was vastly superior to these rivals over hurdles and he has begun his chasing career in promising style. “He will stride out much better under more suitable conditions” said his owner Mr Alan Spence in a post race interview and so there is a lot more to come from him in this sphere.

MIA`S BOY (Pivotal / Bint Zamayem) wins the TOTETRIFECTA H`cap Stakes 0-100 ( Class 2 ) at Wolverhampton . Winning his 9th race for trainer Chris Dwyer. Ridden by Andrea Atzeni he showed a good turn of foot to win again this year at the age of 7.A strong race and, despite the gallop not looking overly strong, the finish was dominated by two horses held up out the back for the most part.Mia`s Boy ran well in a similarly competitive event at Lingfield last month but this was a cracking performance for he travelled noticeably well around the inside before finding plenty to nail the bang in-form Loyalty right on the line. This is the first time Mia´s Boy has won a handicap since 2008 but he´s got stacks of good runs in the bank and he´s clearly at the top of his game right now. He has now finished first or second on four of his five visits to Wolverhampton.
Nov 25th 2011
ERADICATE (Montjue / Coyote) wins the Tot Visit Theconistonhotel.com Skipton, North Yorkshire Novices' Chase at Haydock. An event which totally revolved around ERADICATE, and apart from one jumping error this was all very straightforward. Winner of the last two Swinton Hurdles, he was beaten a short head in a match when making his chasing debut at Sandown earlier this month and this slowly run, three-runner event wouldn´t have shown him at his very best either.
Nov 2nd 2011

Sept 10th 2011
DANEKING ( Dylan Thomas / Sadie Thompson) wins the Seb Merchant Bank EBF Maiden Stakes at Goodwood( Class 4) .Trained by John Gosden and ridden by Nicky Mackay.DANEKING, who is in the Derby, displayed a good attitude under pressure, after leading for much of the contest, to hold off the runner-up Cherry Street. A promising seventh on his debut in the ´Frankel maiden at Newmarket (started 20/1), this is a step in the right direction and he´ll undoubtedly stay middle-distances next season.. He is the second foal of his dam Sadie Thompson (King’s Best), a winnner over 7f at two from only 2 starts. She is a half sister to a winner out of Femme Fatale (Fairy King), who won the Listed (then) Firth of Clyde Stakes and is a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Foodbroker Fancy (Halling; dam of the Gr.3 Long Island Handicap winner Dalvina and the Listed Lupe Stakes winner Soft Centre) and Crossmolina (Halling; dam of the ill-fated Listed Thoroughbred Stakes winner Neebras).The third dam Red Rita (Kefaah) was twice Gr.3-placed).

A 6yr old son of Social Storm was winning his 5th race and his first for Ian Williams ridden by Ryan Clarke. A one-sided handicap, STEVIE THUNDER, who has been quite lightly raced in recent times, showing he retains all his ability in quickening clear for an easy success.He will get hit hard by the handicapper for winning a fairly uncompetitive race, so his best chance of following up is likely to come if turned out under a penalty before the end of next week.He does not have any entry’s at present but if entered tomorrow can run under a penalty before being reassessed next Tuesday .
July 15th 2011

July 8th 2011
RED SEVENTY ( Sakhee / Dimakya ) Wins the Bourne Capital Novice Stakes (Class 4) at Ascot. A novice event that has gone to smart types in recent seasons, namely Where Or When, Norse Dancer, Il Warrad and The Cheka, albeit the race was staged over 7f in those years. It was run at this unusual distance ( 6f 110yds) last term, though, and went to subsequent 2,000 Guineas-fourth Slim Shadey.RED SEVENTY, who was sent off at 14-1 when denying a much shorter-priced stable companion on his debut at Salisbury (6f, soft), did well to follow up as he had to wait for a clear run and the useful Sixx, another Hannon inmate, had been allowed a relatively soft time on the lead. Red Seventy`s pedigree suggests he should continue to progress with time and distance and he´s not to be underestimated.
June 22nd 2011
RED SEVENTY ( Sakhee / Dimakya ) Wins the Begbies Traynor Group Maiden (Class 5) at Sailsbury.A fair maiden and something of a Richard Hannon benefit with his three runners finishing 1-2-4, though not in the order most would have anticipated.
RED SEVENTY, a half-brother to four winners over a variety of trips out of Dimakya ( who has a yearling by Tiger Hill for sale ), travelled well behind the leaders and produced a nice turn of foot to catch his stable-companion right on the line. The market didn´t suggest that this was expected, so it was a very encouraging start. He is a big horse with plenty of scope for improvement in the future.
June 03rd 2011 Kyllachy Storm ( Kyllachy / Social Storm ) Wins the Bath Ales Summer`s Hare Handicap (Class 4) at Bath . A competitive sprint in which the pace was strong from the outset as Noodles Blue Boy pressed Novabridge on the front end.
That set things up for a finisher and, although he had to bustle his way through, course specialist (5 wins) Kyllachy Storm showed the best turn of foot to swamp his rivals in the final half furlong. Although beaten under a penalty at Folkestone, he posted a really good performance here and is in great form.
May 30th 2011
Broken Peace this morning gave birth to a lovely bay colt by New Approach.Broken Peace has a 2yr old filly by Singspiel ( Sold to Shadwell Stud for 90,000 at Tattersalls October yearling sales ) and a yearling filly by Bahamian Bounty She is the last mare to foal this year.(Pictured bellow)

Rocker ( Rock of Gibraltar/ Jessica`s Dream) Wins the Summer Music Night Here 21st JuneHandicap (Class 5) at Brighton His first win since May last year .Winning here off a mark of 70, 4lb less than last years win at Lingfield . Things didn’t look very promising for a long way for Rocker who traded at 16-1 in-running, but he finished fast out wide in reapplied blinkers under a great ride for trainer Gary Moore`s son Ryan to cash in for those who had supported him today .He does not have a great strike-rate in the last two years but is a generally reliable sprinter who has a record of 3222125621 at Brighton. .Rocker will now having won 8 races for Sir Eric Parker try and pass the winning most horse owned ( Twice Group 1 winner Indian Lodge’s record of 8 wins) and win his 9th race at Lingfield on Saturday or at Brighton at the end of the month.
May 16th 2011 Kyllachy Storm ( Kyllachy / Social Storm ) Wins the M.J.Church Handicap (Class 5) at Bath . The winner of the race off 9lb higher in 2009, wasn´t discredited from almost a stone out of the handicap at Brighton a week earlier, and he won this with a bit in hand, going on over 1f out and drawing away. He should remain well weighted on old form, but isn´t the most straightforward, and everything fell right for him here.
May 07th 2011
ERADICATE (Montjue / Coyote) wins the Totescoop6 Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock. Often a highly competitive handicap hurdle, and this year´s edition appeared no different, on paper anyway, as last season´s winner ERADICATE became the first horse to score back-to-back victories in the race, doing it in some style.Although 9lb higher than when beating Overturn a year ago, he had the assistance of the very capable Jeremiah McGrath, whose 7lb claim was a big plus, and having made rapid headway to take it up two out, he fairly scampered clear. He ran well without winning in some good handicap hurdles last season, although not well enough to suggest a performance such as this was in the offing. Very much a summer horse, it´ll be interesting to see whether he´s tried on the Flat again this year.
Apr 23th 2011
Bint Zamayem gave birth to her last foal in the early hours of the morning. She gave birth to a lovely filly by Excellent Art. Bint Zamayem is to be retired this year at the age of 19 after producing 11 winners so far.She has a 2yr old in training with Paul Deegan in Ireland a yearling by Kyllachy and now this filly.

Apr 19th 2011
HUFF AND PUFF (Azamour / Coyote) wins the R&R Ices Handicap ( class 4) at Bath. Huff and Puff made a successful start to his 4-y-o career and landed some hefty bets in the process. He looked a very useful prospect when winning his AW maiden when returning last year and wasn`t disgraced on his handicap debut in a decent affair next time. However, he wasn´t seen thereafter and had been gelded during his time off the track. The money poured in for him, though, and he won with some authority despite the muddling pace. There should be plenty more to come from this imposing son of Azamour, especially back over further, and he`s no doubt one to follow. Pictured bellow is his half brother by SEE THE STARS born 14th April 2011
Apr 14th 2011
COYOTE this morning gave birth to a lovely colt by SEE THE STARS . He is chestnut just like Urban Sea the mother of See The Stars. The new born is a half brother to Oh Goodness Me who is a G3 winner and placed in the Irish 1,000 Guineas G1 and Eradicate who was G3 placed and a multiple winner. Coyote has a yearling colt for sale by DALAKHANI and is to visit Galileo shortly..
Apr 06th 2011
GREENFLASH ( Green Desert / Empress Anna) Wins the LINGFIELD.CO.UK Maiden (Class 5) at Lingfield. She made a pleasing debut at Kempton over 1m, and looked like having an obvious chance. Quickly into the lead, her rider dictated the fractions and she got away from her rivals at the right time. She won easing up at the line and is sure to win more races. Her dam Empress Anna gave birth to a filly by Duke of Marmalade earlier in the day.
Apr 04th 2011

Mar 25th 2011
CURTAINS ( Dubawi / Voile ) (above)Wins the LINGFIELD PARK RACING CLUB H`CAP (Class 4) at Lingfield .This was her 4th win and her first on the all-weather .Thanks to Billy Red they went a really good gallop here, and the race was set up nicely for the gambled-on CURTAINS, who`d been available at prices as big as 16-1 in the morning. Having won fresh before, her absence since November wasn´t a concern, and she took up a nice position chasing the strong pace. Swinging wide into the straight, she kept on well for pressure to hold off the runner-up, who’d been ridden patiently. Fifth in the Albany Stakes at two and fourth in a Listed contest last year, connections plan to give her another try at gaining some black type in the Abernant Stakes, providing the ground is on the fast side
Mar 05th 2011
RATHLIN (Kayf Tara / Princess Timon) wins the Great Oak Maiden Hurdle at Gowran Park. He was bred and raised at Crimbourne Stud for Mrs Carrie Zetter-Wells who sold him at Doncaster sales as a 2yr old.Unconvincing at Clonmel last time, Rathlin looked much more like a racehorse this time and won with a nice bit in hand. Taking it up just beyond halfway, he made the rest of the running from there. All Davy Russell had to do was just shake him up after the second last and he soon had the favourite in trouble, from that point the race was over..He now heads to Cheltenham for the opening race of the 2011 festival on the 15th March
Mar 2nd 2011

Jan 23rd 2011

Little Scotland (Acclamation / Belladera) wins the Crabbies "Spiffing" Alcoholic Ginger Beer Maiden Stakes at Newcastle.

May 22nd 2010
Little Scotland (Acclamation / Belladera) wins the Crabbies "Spiffing" Alcoholic Ginger Beer Maiden Stakes at Chester. She was made to work harder than expected to break her maiden tag. She was highly tried at two for Time Easterby, contesting pattern company on each of her five starts after her debut, and this looked a good opportunity for a confidence boost on her debut for her new yard. Maybe this track wasnt ideal for her but she stayed on strongly to mow down the leader close home, and a more galloping track should suit her in future.
May 8th 2010
ERADICATE (above) (Montjue / Coyote) wins the Totesport.com Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock . He proved too good for Scottish Champion Hurdle winner Overturn, quickening past the Donald McCain-trained favourite within a matter of strides after the pair jumped the last in the first major prize of the jumps season.Claiming jockey David Bass, who once played drums in a punk band, hailed the 16-1 victory as the biggest of his new career. It was the 7lb claimer's first ride on the Nicky Henderson-trained Eradicate and the promising young jockey successfully turned a 16½-length deficit at Ayr into a two and three-quarter length victory.His dam Coyote has a colt foal by Dalakhani and is covered by Sea The Stars.
MIA`S BOY (Pivotal / Bint Zamayem) 2nd in the TOTESCOOP6 SPRING TROPHY STAKES (Listed Race) at Haydock .Mia´s Boy, narrowly denied in the Doncaster Mile latest, is always a threat in this type of race and he was well supported at the head of the market, finding himself last and having to be niggled. He eventually got going, coming with a strong run inside the last, but was just given too much to do..
Apr 21th 2010
HUFF AND PUFF (Azamour / Coyote) wins the digibet Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Kempton . He set the standard on his 50-1 fifth of 18 in a 7f Newmarket maiden on his sole run as a juvenile. Being a half brother to smart 1m2f-1m4f Flat winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Eradicate and the very tallented G3 winner and classic placed Oh Goodness Me who was also a winner and placed in 2 Listed placed at 2yrs old. He is bred to appreciate the step up in trip on his comeback and justified strong support with a tenacious win over a potentially decent type. He still has a bit to learn but has a likeable racingstyle and could prove to be progressive over middle-distances. His half sister by Authorised was sold last Dec as a foal for £170,000. His Dam Coyote has a colt foal by Dalakhani and will this week visit SEE THE STARS
Apr 20th 2010
CURTAINS ( Dubawi / Voile ) (above)Wins the RADIOREVERB MAIDEN STAKES(Class 5) at Brighton. Trained in Epsom by Simon Dow and ridden by Seb Sanders .She looked to have been found a golden opportunity to get off the mark on her return from a winter break, but had to work a lot harder than her prohibitive odds suggested she would.( 1/5 Fav).She was winning her maiden for the second time at brighton , having been disqualified from her maiden win here last June.She will now head to Epsom for a Listed race.
April 14th 2010
Kyllachy Storm ( Kyllachy / Social Storm ) Wins the Kempton.co.uk Handicap (Class 6) at Kempton. Trained by R Hodges and ridden by George Baker.Sprint races on this track are often won from the front, and well drawn he made every yard .He ran as though his seasonal return was needed 13 days previously and the switch to front-running tactics with that run under his belt did the trick. He was also able to race from a 7lb lower mark as he had yet to shine on the allweather, although he hasnt had many chances on an artificial surface.
April 05th 2010
OSCAR PAPA (Presenting / Oso Special) wins the Bet totepool On 0800 221 221 Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race at Plumpton. He was bred and raised at Crimbourne Stud for his owner Mrs Carrie Zetter-Wells. The well-backed OSCAR PAPA had shown ability on his debut at Folkestone and the well-bred individual was never far away and ran out a ready winner. He has the size and scope to do well over hurdles and this won´t be the last we hear of him.
BILLY HALLING above (Halling / Sadie Thompson) wins in Capannelle Italy. This is his second win this season and his first in H`cap company over 1800 meters(£7,080).This is the first foal from the Kings Best mare Sadie Thompson who has a yearling by Dylan Thomas and a lovely filly foal by OASIS DREAM. she has been covered by Medician in 2010.
March 19th 2010
PIGEON ISLAND ( Daylami / Morina) wins the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase Challenge Cup (Handicap) Grade 3 at the Cheltenham Festival. Ridden by Paddy Brennan ( pictured above returning after his victory on the pigeon left , on the right earlier winning the Gold Cup on Imperiel Call from a very game Denman) . The ground was changed to Soft before this race.A typically competitive handicap chase and wide open according to the market, but a race that has a good record for those at or near the head of the market over the years. Four favourites have been successful since 1998 and in that period and only twice has the winner gone off at longer than 8/1.This is a race that has been dominated by those at the bottom of the handicap in the past ten runnings, however, with only the 2007 winner Andreas successful off a mark higher than 134 since1999, and no horse has carried more than 10st 11lb to victory in that time. That sequence continued with a last gasp success for PIGEON ISLAND on a red-letter day for his trainer and jockey. Held up in the rear, he gradually crept into contention and, after jumping the last in fourth, ran on best of all to hit the front in the last 100yds.Rated in the 140s over hurdles, he was racing off 130 here but had failed to win in seven previous starts over fences and had fallen twice at this track. However, on a day in which connections were inspired, the magic clearly rubbed off and this tough sort proved strongest up the hill.
Mar 13th 2010
MIA`S BOY (Pivotal / Bint Zamayem) 2nd in the Twilliamhill.com Lady Wulfruna Stakes (Listed Race) at Wolverhampton. returning from more than four months off, he ran a fine Lincoln trial, splitting a couple of race-fit rivals who were fresh from Dubai. It will be a big ask to defy a mark of 106 at Doncaster but he was a close second in a big-field handicap off just a 2lb lower rating when last seen in 2009 and wont be top weight if Expresso Star lines up (which is said to be the plan). He was trimmed by most firms, but 16-1 is still available.
Feb 24th 2010
SINBAD THE SAILOR,( Cape Cross / Sinead ) wins the Bet Multiples - Betdaq Handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield. He was always towards the fore, led early before letting American Spin take over, and found enough when the pair were tackled inside the last by Rose Row to win a shade cosily. Two from two for his current stable, connections are waiting to send him over hurdles in the new season, when decent ground will suit, so these successes on the Flat are a nice bonus. His owner Sir Alex Ferguson (above) must have told his whole team that he was expecting a winner as he was very well backed into 7/4 fav.
Feb 10th 2010
BENARTIC wins the Onibury Maiden Hurdle at Ludlow . He make a few mistakes early on but turned into the straight travelling very well and won with a bit in hand . Hopefully he can now give his owners a day out at Cheltenham in March where he is entered in the 2m5f Nov on the Wednesday of the Festival.
Feb 07th 2010
ERADICATE (Montjue / Coyote) wins the John Smith's Scottish County Handicap Hurdle at Musselburgh. A good quality handicap won by an unexposed sort in ERADICATE. Debuting in a handicap and running for the first time since having a wind operation over the summer, he was keen enough through the early stages, but showed his speed to assert on the flat between the third-last, the bypassed second-last and final flight. He needs decent ground to be seen at his best and a sharp track like this also helps him get home, so Aintree looks likely to suit him better than Cheltenham, although the County Hurdle is apparently the aim
BAHIA BREEZE below with her Nayef colt foal born this morning .The first of 17 mares to foal this year at Crimbourne.
Feb 04th 2010
SINBAD THE SAILOR,( Cape Cross / Sinead ) wins the Enjoy Lucky 7 Group Offer Handicap (Class 6) at Wolverhampton ridden by Matthew Davis and backed from 20/1 to 11/1.He didn´t seem to get 1m6f when twice tried by previous connections last season, stayed this longer trip extremely well on his first run for George Baker. Although bought to go hurdling ( For his new owner Sir Alex Ferguson ), it seems that the winner will keep to Flat staying handicaps. These aren´t the hardest races to win with a horse who is at the right end of the handicap and there should be at least one more before the handicapper steps in. He won off an 11lb higher mark as a three-year-old.
Jan 24th 2010
BILLY HALLING (Halling / Sadie Thompson) wins in Pisa Italy. This is the first foal from the Kings Best mare Sadie Thompson ,he has a yearling brother by Dylan Thomas . Sadie Thompson is in foal to OASIS DREAM. and will visit Medician in 2010.

Sir Eric Parker was the first recipient of The Chris Deuters Award
ROA Council member and senior industry figure, Sir Eric Parker (pictured with Antonia Deuters), has been honored as the first recipient of the Chris Deuters Award in recognition of services to the racing industry, during a special ceremony preceding the ROA AGM lunch in London.
The Award has been established to commemorate the huge contribution to racing made by the late Chris Deuters, a former president of the ROA, Levy Board deputy chairman and long-standing owner-breeder.
Sir Eric Parker, also a former president of the ROA, and owner of Crimbourne Stud in Sussex, has enjoyed a distinguished career in both racing and business, and his tireless work for the racing industry over many years made him a fitting recipient of the inaugural award. The presentation was made by Chris Deuters’ widow, Antonia.
Michael Harris, ROA chief executive, said: “I have now had the privilege of working with Sir Eric Parker for over 10 years on the ROA Council. It is difficult to name anybody who has such an all-round understanding of how British racing works both structurally and commercially.
"Over the years, he has sat on the BHB, the Levy Board and the Tote Board. He is, of course, a past ROA President and continues to make an invaluable contribution at both Council and Executive meetings. He still examines every committee paper with a forensic-like urge to absorb the detail.
"He may still have the ability to put all of us in the shade, and yet he has a lasting popularity and is much-loved throughout racing. Yes, he takes industry business very seriously but his sense of humour is never far away. Nobody could be more deserving than he to receive this initial award and I am sure Chris would have been delighted to know that Sir Eric is its first recipient.”
