The rain continues to beat down in Ogmore, and heading home soaked and cold everyday is tough going for our team, but they all keep trucking on! The horses certainly don’t mind the weather and a few nice results is keeping everyone smiling.
We were delighted to see House of Habsburg winning again on 23rd January at Warwick Racecourse for Whites Property Limited and Robert James. Another strong ride from Jack Tudor, and a lovely result for everyone involved.
Encore Racing enjoyed a fantastic trip to Ireland last month, with Dixie Mafia lining up at Gowran Park Racecourse on Thyestes Chase Day. He was lucky to stand up at the last after a bad mistake which cost him a place, but he gave all his owners a great thrill and we can look forward to plenty more trips out there!
As we move deeper into the season, our focus naturally starts to shift toward the bigger spring targets.

And later in the month, Williethebuilder has been entered in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso Racecourse.
