9th Nov 2007

We finished the Turf Season off in Style when Style Award won at Musselburgh on the 9th November. She put up a career best performance to win her third race of the year. She did not get the run of the race however she burst through a small gap approaching the finish to win well under Andrew Mullen. Style Award was our first Bolton Hall Racing Partnership and we are now setting up 3 more. Style Award gave her owners a great year by running 12 times and finishing in the first four on 11 occassions. She won 3 races and nearly £20k in prize money and we look forward to her progressing next season. Do you want to be part of our new partnerships?

Promising Race for Eton Fable

Eton Fable ran a promising race over a mile at Newcastle on 3rd October. On only his third run he showed some inexperience however he ran on strongly at the finish to get fourth place. He is a fine big horse and will get better with time. By Val Royal and out of a Linamix mare he looks to have plenty of stamina and was doing his best work at the end. Eton Fable was our 3rd 2yo to pick up prize money from only four 2yo runners.

31st October 2007

Bel Cantor picked up the 5th win of his career and 4th in just over a year when he won at Catterick over 7f. He battled well having been headed entering the straight to get back up and win well. Andrew Mullen gave him a great ride and was given Apprentice ride of the week in the Racing Post.

 

A New Horse at Bolton Hall

A new horse into the yard called Guto ran a good race over 5f at Redcar on Saturday 6th October. He finished 4th but showed good speed and was in a three way photo for the minor places. The ground had dried out and was not ideal for him but a good run nevertheless.

 

Style Award Rarely out of the Prize Money

Style Award has been running some consistent races and is rarely out of the prize money. Since her win at beverley she finished 2nd at Thirsk in a class 3 Nursery and has also finished 4th at Warwick and Chester.

Bel Cantor

Bel Cantor ran into form when finishing 2nd twice at Leicester and inbetween winning a competitive handicap at Pontefract. The 4yo colt finished 2nd at Leicester over 6f in an Apprentice Handicap on 19th July. He then went to Pontefract on 29th July where he produced a great front running performance to win the Class 3 Handicap by 2 lengths under Andrew Mullen beating the talented Genki into second place. He then went back to Leicester 3 days later under a 6lb penalty and was just denied a follow up win in a photo finish however he ran a gutsy race under a heavy burden and ground which had dried out. Bel then went to The Doncaster St Leger Festival where he ran another tough race finishing 3rd of 20 in the Class 3 6f Handicap. What a great horse to have in the yard, he is so consistent.

My Kaiser Chief

This 2yo colt ran two good races in August both in 5f maidens at Thirsk. He finished 4th in both races behind some nice horses that have gone on to frank the form. He was 4th behind winner Hadaf on August 4th and then 4th behind Sophies Girl on August 13th. He is a nice colt and we hope he will run again before the end of the turf season.

 

Bolton Hall Partnership gets off to a promising Start

Style Award started our first Bolton Hall Partnership off in style when finishing 3rd at odds of 66/1 at Catterick on the 8th May. This daughter of Acclamation showed real promise on her racecourse debut and although she ran green she still managed a good third and learned a lot from the experience. We think highly of her and the owners are looking forward to having some more good days racing with her in the future.
