A very busy Saturday

9 runners will head to 5 different tracks all over the UK tomorrow in what is going to be a very busy day for us.

First off to Beverley are two two year olds owned by Tom Morley.  Adam Tiler heads to post at 2.40 pm in the 5 furlong Brian Yeardley Conditions Stakes which we won 2 years ago with Prince of Lir.  Gerald Mosse gets the leg up.  Onto the Hillary Needler fillies race at 3.15pm where Vikivaki and jockey Charles Bishop take on the rest of the field which saw Chica La Habana win it on debut for us last year.

Next to Musselburgh where Ballistic who leaves the yard on Friday to make the long journey Northbound to Scotland ready for racing on Saturday.  He’s off in the 5 furlong Novice Stakes at 3.10pm, its a small field and we are hopeful he should be there or thereabouts.  Kevin Stott rides in the silks of Mrs Fitri Hay.

Next to Haydock Park where Blue de Vega and Oisin Murphy and Encor D’Or  and James Doyle line up together in the Listed Achilles Stakes at 3.25pm.  Both horses are long overdue a win or even a place and both horses work so well at home it would be great to see them involved from the start in this highly competitive field. Good luck to the Blue de Vega Partnership and Mrs Morley, Mr Johnson and Newsells Park Stud.

Staying Northbound we have Emphatic set for action at 5.15 pm in the Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 6 furlongs.  This will be his seasonal start since being placed twice at the end of last season.  Good luck to Franny Norton who rides in the colours of Cheveley Park Stud.

Last meeting of the day is at Lingfield Park where two newcomers make their career debuts together in the 6.20 pm Fillies Novice Median Auction Stakes over the minimum trip, we look forward to seeing how they get on for the experience.  Stable jockeys Eoin Walsh rides Jewel of the Sea for GB Horseracing and Jonny Fisher rides Spring Holly for Tom Morley. Last to go is Master Poet he runs at 6.50 pm in the 6 furlong Novice Stakes, he ran very well last time out and we are sure the Heart of the South Racing team will all be super excited to see him back out on the tracks. Tom Queally gets the leg up.
