I am delighted to announce that the AOTF Royal Ascot Update will include a stable interview with Owen Burrows. The former assistant to Sir Michael Stoute, who trains in Lambourn, sent out Hukum to win the King George V Handicap at the Royal meeting in 2020 and is responsible for five Group 1 winners. The yard have already sent out 11 winners from only 46 runners in 2025 and have a small but select...
The Bromley's Best Buys section in AOTF has been in good form recently and that trend continued on Tuesday. Leading bloodstock agent Anthony Bromley highlighted Zavateri (11/2) as a two year old to follow and the Eve Johnson Houghton trained runner scored at the first time of asking at Salisbury. Well bought at 35,000gns, the son of Without Parole had to wait for a gap before showing good accelera...
The sad news broke on Monday morning that the legendary trainer Peter (M.H.- Miles Henry) Easterby had passed away at the age of 95. One of, if not, the greatest dual purpose trainer of the modern era, he trained 2,513 winners during a career which spanned 46 years. Champion trainer over jumps on three occasions, Peter trained 13 winners at the Cheltenham Festival including five Champion Hurdles a...
Hats off to Aidan O'Brien and the Ballydoyle team for producing Lambourn at the top of his game to provide the stable with a record breaking eleventh win in the Epsom Derby. The son of Australia has improved markedly since stepped up to middle distances winning the Group 3 Chester Vase en route to Classic glory. Indeed, with a juvenile profile which included finishing last of five in the Group 2 B...
Aidan O'Brien dominated the first day of Epsom's Classic meeting with Ballydoyle winning both Group 1 events. Minnie Hauk provided her trainer with his eleventh victory in the Oaks with the daughter of Frankel edging out stablemate Whirl in a driving finish. A neck scorer, the pair pulled four lengths clear of the 1000 Guineas winner Desert Flower, who came off the bridle early in the homestraight...
William Haggas nominated the former Sir Michael Stoute trained Archivist as his horse to follow in Ahead On The Flat. Runner-up on three occasions as a juvenile, the son of Dubawi was unfortunate not to score on his first run for the head of Somerville Lodge at Nottingham in April. A fast finishing second having met trouble in running, the Cheveley Park Stud owned colt was being aimed at the Londo...
David O'Meara believes the lightly raced Estrange could be the best horse he has handled during his hugely successful training career, which includes nine Group 1 winners. The grey four year old, who won at Listed level last Autumn, made a sparkling return to action in the Group 3 Lester Piggott Fillies Stakes at Haydock on Saturday. Reported to have worked well in the lead up, the Cheveley Park S...
There were two runners from the Maidens In Waiting section in Ahead On The Flat on Friday - ironically, the pair had run in the same one mile novice stakes at Kempton in December last year. Noble Horizon had run on into third position on his reappearance over a mile at Newmarket a fortnight ago. By Kingman out of an Irish Oaks winner, William Haggas runner was expected to be suited by an extra cou...
Sandown staged an informative six race card on Thursday evening with the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes being the highlight. Almaqam had shaped with plenty of promise on his seasonal reappearance in the Group 3 Gordon Richard Stakes over the same C&D last month. Ed Walker's runner stepped up on that performance to score here by a length and three quarters making all under Oisin Murphy. Top 40...
I was working at Redcar on Bank Holiday Monday and the feature event, the Zetland Gold Cup, produced a thrilling finish between Liberty Coach and See That Storm with the former prevailing by a nose. As discussed in a previous post, I caught up with a few connections, including Tom Marquand and will pass on his views regarding Crown of Oaks, who was surprisingly beaten in the one mile maiden stakes...
