Alpha Crucis
£15K purchase & 4-time winner
Trainers: Gary & Josh Moore
Purchased for a very modest price at the Tattersalls Breeze Up Sales, this 6yo gelding has been nothing but fun for his enthusiast Owners! Rated 93, he is a winner of 4 races, was placed in the Lincoln Handicap and has already won over £30K in prize money.
Enemy Lines
Exciting 2yo, already an impressive winner
Trainer: James Tate
Our newest addition is this well bred colt who looks to have heaps of potential after finishing an encouraging 2nd on his debut followed by an eye-catching win despite racing green! His future certainly looks very exciting.
Paddock To Post
Opportunity with two well bred NH 3yo’s
Trainer: Harry Derham
An exciting ownership opportunity with HOTSR to be involved in two exciting 3-year olds with Harry Derham. One is a son of the popular Jack Hobbs, and the other is a daughter of Group 2 winner Masterstroke. They will be lots of fun for this winter and beyond.
Canopus
Fun dual purpose prospect
Trainers: Gary & Josh Moore
The latest addition to our string with the Moore’s, this interesting 4yo looks to be a fun candidate for Owners both on the flat and over hurdles. He is a beautiful jumper of a hurdle and relished the softer ground on the flat at Goodwood to finish a very close second.
Alpha Legend
Racey 2-year old for 2026
Trainer: Marco Botti
A different opportunity for HOTSR & Owners with a precocious sort for the 2026 season for a maximum agreement term of 2 seasons. He has an interesting pedigree by first season sire Dubawi Legend and ran with promise during his racecourse debut this spring.
Storm Free
2-time winner with a bright future
Trainer: James Tate
After two promising seconds as a 2yo, it was unsurprising to witness Storm Free win in such an eye-catching fashion on his 3yo debut followed by a few placed efforts and another win in October 2025. Hopefully there is more to come in 2026.
Le Galli Bier
Half brother to Grade 1 winner Le Patron
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
A very consistent performer over hurdles who needed a little time following his arrival from France. 2025/26 has seen him enjoy his first season chasing where he has been incredibly consistent – surely his first win is not far away!
Femme Fatale
Classy 3-year old with breeding potential
Trainer: James Tate
A very likeable filly with a strong Black Type pedigree who ticks many boxes. She made a positive start to her racing career but ultimately looks to really want a trip. She is set to improve the further she goes in distance.
Kotari
3-time flat winner who loves his job
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
An enthusiastic 7-year old who has been placed over hurdles and scored an impressive hattrick on the flat in 2024. He looks to want further in distance this season and after a few runs over hurdles will return to the flat this Spring/Summer.
Lover Desbois
Eye-catching winner with plenty of ability
Trainer: Harry Derham
Purchased at the Goffs Spring Store Sales, this 5yo is by upcoming French Sire Beaumec De Houelle and from a family of winners. He required a little time but showed heaps of ability when winning his bumper in February and finishing 4th in a hot contest at Newbury.
Laurier Des Obeaux
Placed in a bumper and over hurdles
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
An imposing individual who looks every bit a nice chaser in the making. He finished 4th on his debut in a bumper this spring and after a summers break to really strengthen up, completed two more spots in the winners enclosure. He will be a nice horse for next season.
Bridge
Dual winner over hurdles
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
A consistent and genuine little horse who is quite versatile and already a 2-time winner over hurdles. He required some time off last season due to an injury which physically appears to have done him the world of good as he’s bounced right back to form this winter.
Tapley
7 time National Hunt winner
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
A genuine and consistent National Hunt performer who loves his job! He has moved from Suzy Smith to Gary & Josh Moore for the forthcoming National Hunt season and will continue to be owned by the Plumpton Party and manged by us.
Twiggy
Our breeding syndicate filly from Ruby Yeats
Trainers: Gary and Josh Moore
After such success with our first breeding syndicate, which produced 3-time winner Sir Robert Cheval (rated 103), our next breeding venture is with this lovely filly by Group 3 winner Planteur out of 5-time winning mare Ruby Yeats. She will go into full training in summer 2026.
Court In The Act
Impressive 4-time National Hunt winner
Trainer: Harry Derham
A lover of good ground which has seen him win 4 races, arguably his best being at Kempton Park at their King George Boxing Day fixture! This big scopey lad could be one to follow as he heads Novice Chasing this winter.
