Wednesday 29th June
Aiguillette could be our next runner as he holds an entry at Brighton next Tuesday 5th July over 1m. He would welcome a little rain and he is another of our flat horses due a win this season! SB
Tuesday 28th June
Eloise and I enjoyed a little road trip last week to view a new National Hunt horse. He is nicely bred and a tough, athletic individual who we will be syndicating very soon.
Register your interest today!
Thursday 23rd June
We enjoyed two encouraging runs this week. Reckon I’m Hot ran another gallant race to finish 3rd at Wolverhampton on Monday. Making all over 6 furlongs is not the way to ride him but he broke so well out the gates that Tom wanted to make use of that early on. However it was another placed effort to add to his name and hopefully he can break his maiden very soon! He’s had 6 races already in 2022 so it is likely that he will enjoy a good few weeks before racing again.
King Of Ithaca had his first day at school last night at Kempton and he handled the entire experience brilliantly. He went down to post and loaded into the stalls well and whilst he was a little slow away he soon settled into a lovely rhythm, travelling strongly. He did race quite green up the home straight but once he got himself together again he ran onto the line to finish 5th. He will have learnt plenty for the experience and his next target will be Yarmouth on 21st July. SB
Monday 20th June
Tonight’s runner will be Reckon I’m Hot at Wolverhampton. He has a better draw in comparison to his previous races and with a little luck can hopefully run a good race.
2yo King Of Ithaca has been declared to make his racecourse debut at Kempton Park on Wednesday. Neil Callan will take the ride and we look forward to getting the horse’s campaign underway. SB
Thursday 16th June
We have a few entries for next week which include 3yo Reckon I’m Hot at Wolverhampton on Monday and Brighton on Tuesday. He has gone close several times already this season so his trainer Gary Moore will be looking for the ideal race for him.
2yo King Of Ithaca has been entered to make his debut at Kempton Park on 22nd June over 7 furlongs. This son of Ulysses is a flashy sort we and the Marco Botti team like a great deal and whilst it will be a learning curve for the horse we hope to see him give a good account of himself.
A huge congratulations to the Marco Botti team on their Royal Ascot winner in the finale yesterday. Superbly ridden by Neil Callan who we hope to have on board our boy next week! SB
Tuesday 14th June
It’s the start of Royal Ascot week and another one of our eagerly anticipated HOTSR tipping competitions! Sam has sent out the entry forms so pleased get your selections in! A bottle of Champagne plus bragging rights awaits the winner!
With a predominantly NH string at the moment (just the 4 flat horses officially) there are no runners at Royal Ascot for HOTSR this year but we are attending socially on Saturday and look forward to seeing some owners there for a glass of fizz! EA.
Wednesday 8th June
It was another decent effort from Aiguillette at Lingfield Park on Monday without actually winning. On this occasion the race fractions were simply not in his favour – he needs a strong early pace, passing tired horses in the closing stages whereas opposite happened on Monday. He is sure to win again in a similar grade soon.
Our next runner is set to be Reckon I’m Hot returning to Wolverhampton 20/6, hotly followed by our 2-year old colt with Marco Botti King Of Ithaca was is suddenly coming to hand on the Newmarket gallops. He has been pencilled in for 22/6 at Kempton Park.
Our new horses with Gary Moore are now full and were extremely popular. We are now looking to buy another NH horse for the winter with Oliver Sherwood – watch this space! EA.
Saturday 4th June
Happy Derby Day – best of luck to all connections! We hope Ryan can do the Classic double!
Reckon I’m Hot ran another creditable race at Chelmsford on Thursday evening with Tom Queally on board. He was a little slow into stride so found himself further back than ideal which meant the winner got first run when turning for home but our lad lost nothing in defeat and once again gave his all to finish a gallant second. His day is sure to come soon!
Aiguillette has been declared to return to Lingfield Park on Monday! He finished a close second at the track last time out and seems to have a real love for the track. Fingers crossed he has some luck in running.
Isayalittleprayer and Riohacha have now returned to Gary Moore’s yard for their light ridden work. We look forward to gently pressing on with them as they prepare to race this autumn/winter. SB
Wednesday 1st June
Our first runner of the month will be Reckon I’m Hot who heads to Chelmsford tomorrow evening over 6f with Tom Queally on board. Finally the young horse has a decent draw and hopefully it will all fall right for him tomorrow and he will finally get his first win that he so deserves.
Stable mate Aiguillette has been entered at Lingfield Park over 1m on Monday.
Some of our NH string who enjoyed an earlier holiday are due to return to Cisswood Stables this week. We look forward to having them back and getting their light ridden work underway. SB
Wednesday 25th May
Reckon I’m Hot by no means disgraced himself yesterday but he was up against it from his wide draw and stepping up to 7f. The horse broke the best of the 4 horses in the widest gates and got across well but he found himself short of room in the closing stages and it is hard to say whether he stayed the trip or not.
He holds an entry back at Lingfield Park over 6f on Monday which he may target next providing he is well this week.
In other news Isayalittleprayer and Riohacha will be returning to Cisswood Stables from next week for their ridden exercise. We are very excited to have them coming back & cannot wait to see what a break has done for them both mentally and physically. SB
Monday 23rd May
Reckon I’m Hot has been declared for Lingfield Park tomorrow evening with Tom Queally back on board. He will be stepping up to 7f but it is an easy 7 furlongs and he will need a little luck with his draw. Fingers crossed he gives another good account of himself! Good luck to his Owners.
Wednesday 18th May
Reckon I’m Hot was not declared for Lingfield Park this week as the ground is too firm for him and he has unfortunately been bitten by something that requires a little attention. He has however been entered at this track on the AWT next Tuesday, but he will only run if Gary is 100% happy with him.
All of our National Hunt horses are thoroughly enjoying a holiday now including our two new boys – Spirit D’Aunou & our Australia 2yo. This maturity break will do them the world of good to really grown and strengthen up physically and also mentally. We look forward to seeing them back at Gary’s yard in 6 weeks time. SB
Friday 13th May
It was disappointing to see Cilaos Glace pulled up at Perth yesterday but I am pleased to write he has come out of his race well, eating up his feed. Perhaps the ground was a touch too quick for him yesterday and when he returns in the autumn he will target proper soft ground. He will also enjoy some more schooling practice following a summers holiday.
Our next runner looks to be 3yo Reckon I’m Hot at Lingfield Park on 19th May. He has gone close twice this season and hopefully it will be 3rd time lucky for him! SB
Wednesday 11th May
Aiguillette ran well last night at Lingfield Park and was very unlucky not to win! Young Aidan Keeley rode a great race, keeping the favourite boxed in as Aiguillette came flying down the outside. He should be winning again very soon!
Cilaos Glace is on route to Perth as there is a degree of soft in their ground description and Owners would like to see him race once more before a summers break. SB
Friday 6th May
Waikiki Waves ran another great race at Fontwell Park on Wednesday evening to finish 3rd. The horse travelled nicely in a prominent position and it was great to see him really jumping his fences perfectly. He has come out of the race well and could have one final race before enjoying a holiday.
Aiguillette has not been declared for Nottingham tomorrow due to lack of rain. He does hold an entry at Lingfield Park on 10th May on the AWT and will also be entered at Chelmsford on 14th May (his official birthday!)
Cilaos Glace has been entered at Perth on 12th May as there is rain forecast in the area. He is one of our last NH horses in training who we would love to see race once more before he enjoys a break. However he will need a decent amount of rain to fall. SB
Monday 2nd May
We hope you are all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend!
We begin May with Waikiki Waves being our first runner! He gave a gallant performance when stepped up in grade last time out at Fontwell Park and returns to the track on Wednesday with Jamie Moore on board.
Aiguillette has been entered at Nottingham this weekend (but will need some rain.)
Our two new boys with Gary Moore have been hugely popular with all 20 of the shares in the Australia 2yo colt all provisionally sold. SB
Friday 29th April
It was another superb effort from Reckon I’m Hot at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, winning his battle upsides only to get beat on his blindside to settle for 2nd again! It was a positive ride from Tom Queally and great to see the horse follow up his 2nd last month. He is sure to be winning very soon in a similar contest.
Our next runner is likely to be Waikiki Waves and he holds entries at Fakenham on Tuesday and Fontwell Park Wednesday. He is in good spirits at home and ran a game race last out. EA.
Wednesday 27th April
This morning on the gallops it was a pleasure to see both our new horses with Gary Moore in action! Our 2yo Australia Colt and our 3yo French import Spirit D’Aunou both arrived last week and have settled into the Cisswood routine very well, eating for England and very relaxed. The plan for both is to shortly enjoy early summer maturity breaks, so if you wish to see them on the gallops now is the time to do so! Interest has been extremely high so please contact us to secure your share. EA
Monday 25th April
Our next runner will be Reckon I’m Hot at Wolverhampton on Wednesday. Tom Queally takes the ride drawn from stall 10 which isn’t ideal at this track, however we feel this little horse actually might appreciate a little room in his racing so fingers crossed it works out this time! He was certainly unlucky last time getting badly hampered coming out the stalls. Stablemate Aiguillette does not run this week at Brighton due to firm ground but remains extremely well at home. EA
Tuesday 19th April
I am pleased to write that Jumping Cats is fine this morning following being pulled up at Plumpton yesterday. The horse travelled well for the first two circuits before he came under pressure, hit one of the hurdles pretty hard and Jamie therefore made the decision to pull the horse up. He does have a little cut to his hind leg which required some attention but Gary and his team wonder how much the horse is in love with his racing anymore. He might have a spin on the AWT next before we decide on his future.
Reckon I’m Hot was not declared for Chelmsford on Thursday and instead may head to Wolverhampton on 27th April. Cilaos Glace is desperate for some rain so we can see him race again but we really need some to materialise for him soon! SB
Saturday 16th April
Cilaos Glace was not declared for Carlisle today due to the ground but he does hold an entry at Ludlow on 20th April in the hope the rain will fall! We would love to see him race again before the season is out but he is reliant on some rain.
Our next runner will be Jumping Cats who returns to Plumpton on Monday over 3m for their Easter Monday fixture.
His stablemate Reckon I’m Hot has been entered at Chelmsford on 21st April over 6f.
Our two new horses with Gary Moore are also on their way over! We will be releasing details on them next week and cannot wait to share them with you!
Tuesday 12th April
Cilaos Glace has not been declared for Kempton or Exeter as the rain just is not falling down here! He holds an entry at Carlisle on Saturday but that will be subject to rain.
Jumping Cats has been entered back at Plumpton on Easter Monday. It is over 3m and providing the ground doesn’t turn too firm then he will run.
Some of our NH string have now gone on their holidays including Riohacha (who we hope will return to Gary Moore’s in the summer a more mature horse both mentally and physically) and Legal Rights who has had a phenomenal season but the rain just isn’t falling to see him race once more this spring. SB
Saturday 9th April
Happy Grand National Day! Good luck to all of the horses and connections today and come home safe!
It was wonderful to see the old Waikiki Waves back at Fontwell Park yesterday afternoon. The horse looked up for it, jumped his fences well, really got stuck in and looked to thoroughly enjoy every single second! He ran a gallant race to finish 3rd behind two classy horses and it has filled us all with confidence that he is very much still enjoying his racing and capable of winning races. If the rain falls he could well return to Fontwell Park on 4th May.
Cilaos Glace has been entered at Kempton Park & Exeter next week but he will need some rain. SB
Tuesday 5th April
It was great to see Aiguillette back racing at Lingfield Park on Saturday and he ran well for a long way before just getting tired in the closing stages. He is sure to come on for the race and we are looking forward to the season ahead with the horse.
Jumping Cats ran a better race on Sunday at Plumpton to finish 3rd when stepped up in trip to 3m1f. Gary is hopeful that the horse will win again before the season is out.
Cilaos Glace will not be declared for Fontwell Park on Friday and instead will either head to Kempton Park (13/04) or Huntingdon (18/04) whilst Waikiki Waves will be declared at Fontwell for the Class 3 chase race. SB
Saturday 2nd April
Reckon I’m Hot was extremely unlucky from the word go at Chelmsford on Thursday and found himself squeezed between two big horses when exiting the gates. He ran on well still to finish 5th and has been entered at Lingfield Park on 6th April over 6f.
C&D winner Aiguillette returns to Lingfield Park this evening whilst stablemate Jumping Cats will step up to 3m at Plumpton tomorrow afternoon. Good luck to both sets of connections!
Cilaos Glace holds an entry over fences at Exeter on Tuesday but with firm in the ground description this does look doubtful and alternatives will be considered. Waikiki Waves will be entered back over fences at Fontwell Park on Friday – a track he has previously so enjoyed! SB
Tuesday 29th March
We look to be rounding off the month with two flat runners which we are looking forward to! Reckon I’m Hot who finished an eye-catching second last time out heads to Chelmsford over 6f with Rhys Clutterbuck on board. Hopefully he can run a positive race for his connections!
Aiguillette will make his seasonal debut at Lingfield Park on Saturday evening over a mile. He’s been working nicely at home and we can’t wait to get his season underway!
Jumping Cats holds two entries at Plumpton at Sunday and we hope to see a marked improvement from him to his previous run. SB
Thursday 24th March
Legal Rights yet another creditable race at Plumpton on Monday on ground that was plenty good enough for him. He didn’t travel or jump as well as we have seen previously but he rallied on gamely in the closing stages to finish 2nd. He’s given us and his Owners a fantastically enjoyable season and he may well have one final race if the rain returns or enjoy a well deserved holiday next.
Reckon I’m Hot was not declared for Wolverhampton on Saturday and instead will either wait for Chelmsford (30th March) or Lingfield Park on 6th April.
Waikiki Waves has been entered back over hurdles at his 4-time winning track Fontwell Park on Tuesday. There is a race for him over fences at their meeting on 8th April too so Gary/Jamie will decide which race we are to target. SB
Monday 21st March
It was a disappointing day on Friday with both of our runners finishing towards the rear. Jumping Cats appeared to not be able to go with the fast early pace and they can go quite quickly around a tight track like Fakenham. He’s come out of the race well but we would like to see a good run from him next time.
Walk In The Wild ran well for a long way at Doncaster but found very little when he came under pressure. His Owners are currently decided the best course of action for the horse moving forward.
Legal Rights will be our next runner at Plumpton on Monday. He will step up in trip to 3m for the first time and hopefully he will enjoy the ground. SB
Wednesday 16th March
Ruby Yeats has come out of her final race on Monday well. She ran a great race despite being stepped up in grade to finish 3rd behind much younger legs! She will now be wound down at home before commencing her career as a broodmare. She really will be missed amongst our racing string but we are delighted to enjoy this new adventure with Ruby.
After a pleasing piece of fast work yesterday morning Walk In The Wild has been declared for Doncaster on Friday and Richie McLernon will ride the horse. We really hope that Oliver’s string are back to feeling their best now and that we can see an improved run from this lad.
C&D winner Jumping Cats returns to Fakenham on Friday with Niall Houlihan in the saddle whilst stable mate Reckon I’m Hot has been declared for Wolverhampton on Friday evening over 6f.
3-time hurdle winner this season Legal Rights has been entered at Fontwell Park on Saturday and Plumpton on Monday (he will appreciate this rain) whilst Waikiki Waves holds an entry at Fontwell Park on Saturday back over fences. SB
Monday 14th March
Reckon I’m Hot was a non runner on Saturday due to a bad scope so he will be given a little more time before racing again.
We had a fantastically informative visit to Chapel Stud on Saturday and it was great to meet Planteur and see where our mare Ruby Yeats would be boarding. Thank you to the team for a great visit!
Speaking of Ruby Yeats, it is sure to be an emotional afternoon at Plumpton as the mare lines up for her final start of her racing career. She really does owe us nothing so we hope she enjoys her final race and comes home safe. SB
Friday 11th March
Reckon I’m Hot has been declared at Wolverhampton tomorrow afternoon with the jockey currently leading the way in the AWT Championship – David Probert! Good luck to his connections & hopefully he can go one better this time!
Jumping Cats was not declared at Hereford on Saturday due to the forecast. He will return to Fakenham on 18th February instead where he is a C&D winner. Legal Rights and Waikiki Waves will both be entered at Fontwell Park for 19th March.
Tomorrow we will be heading up to Chapel Stud to meet Ruby Yeats’ boyfriend-to-be – Planteur! All being well Ruby will have her final career start at Plumpton on Monday before visiting Planteur towards the end of the month. SB
Tuesday 8th March
Legal Rights was not declared for his entered races this week. Instead he will be given a little more time and was raised 5lbs for his win.
Jumping Cats has been entered at Hereford on Saturday and an additional race at Wolverhampton has been added to their card which Reckon I’m Hot will be entered in.
Our winning wonder mare Ruby Yeats has been entered back at Plumpton on 14th March. She will appreciate a little bit more rain and it could well be her final race before she is retired to stud. SB
Saturday 5th March
Last weeks winner Legal Rights holds an entry at Sandown Park and Fontwell Park next week. The horse looked full of himself this morning but he will only run if trainer Gary Moore feels he is 100%.
Jumping Cats looked in great order on the gallops this morning as he undertook fast work upsides. He is aiming for Hereford on 12th March providing the ground dries out for him.
Stablemate Aiguillette has stepped up into fast work upsides and worked brilliantly today. His Owners are coming to visit him for a group visit on 26th March before he targets the mile race at Lingfield Park on 2nd April. We cannot wait for another fun season with this consistent horse! SB
Tuesday 1st March
What a day we enjoyed at Plumpton yesterday as the tough mare Ruby Yeats scored another win at the track for her delighted Owners. Under a more prominent ride from Josh Moore the mare looked to enjoy every single moment as she pulled away on the final turn from home to win a tad cosily. Josh was delighted with the horse who is likely to have one final run before retiring to stud duties.
Stable mate Waikiki Waves unfortunately wasn’t on a going day yesterday and was pulled up after a circuit. Thankfully he has come out of the race well and is likely to switch things up and return to fences next time. SB
Monday 28th February
Congratulations to Legal Rights’ Owners as a return to Fontwell Park saw this horse back to winning ways yesterday – making it a 4-timer for Gary Moore! Under a positive ride from Josh Moore the horse travelled strongly, jumping his hurdles well and he powered on up the hill to be a comfortable winner over the 2m5f trip. He is proving to be a very consistent horse this season with 3 wins under his belt now and trainer Gary Moore believes there is more to come!
Good luck to Ruby Yeats and Waikiki Waves’ Owners at Plumpton this afternoon – hopefully both horses can give a good account of themselves!
Cilaos Glace from the Oliver Sherwood yard has been declared for Leicester on Tuesday with winning jockey Tom Cannon on board. SB
