RACE SUMMARY:

SIR TIVO ran with credit when third on return in what was a pretty strong race for the grade, and having been eased 1lb, he’s certainly weighted to strike. Badness Backfires may well have a bigger performance in him, with Authorizo and Mawlood interesting chase debutants.

SUMMER RACING PARTNERSHIP 2021

Charlie Longsdon, who trains our existing partnership horse, the four-time winner last summer, Jamacho (pictured below winning here last September), offers Oscar Montel, a 7yo bay gelding, who has recently arrived from Ireland. On his last run at Limerick, Oscar kept on well to finish an eye-catching 2nd in a 2m 5f handicap hurdle. His UK rating is expected to be 125. Charlie reports that Oscar “has really thrived over the last couple of weeks and his work has been impressive. He will run within the next couple of weeks, will be aimed at many of the better summer races, and could be a super fun horse. We will definitely mix hurdling and chasing with him.” 50% of the shares are being made available to Stratford Racecourse members. Split into 10 equal shares, cost per share is £1,200, plus £600 for training fees for the initial five month period to the end of October. This total of £1,800 is subject to VAT.

If you are interested in some summer racing fun, please form an orderly queue, or phone Ilona on 07774 692242.
