The lows and highs

We are absolutely gutted to share the news we lost Stringtoyourbow at Southwell this afternoon.

A kind, talented, lovely and happy horse, who we had the pleasure of training for his whole racing career. He had become part of the furniture here at Ogmore, easily recognisable and a friend to all.

String gave us and his Owners - Ian Attwood, Adrian Gillman, James Simpson Daniel and Martin & Charlie St Quinton - some very memorable days, none more so than kicking off a special weekend at Ayr’s Scottish Grand National meeting in 2022, and more recently our first runner and Winner at Musselburgh in December.

No one knew String better than Lauren, together they had formed a wonderful friendship and she would beam ear to ear riding him everyday.

We will all miss him very much.

String and his best friend, Lauren.

Later on the card Faded Fantasy did his best to pick us all up, winning nicely under Jack for Owners Sue & Mark - and training a winner in these colours always makes us smile. Congratulations to them and all our team.

Tomorrow is a new day.
