Guys Friday has come and gone. I must say it was the best day of my life in the racing world. Expectations were high everything had to be executed to perfection. Zietsman got caught in the emotion when it all sunk in and all i can say is Bravo and thank you. El Romiachi made us proud Nadine and Neil were superb in there presentations and made us feel great as they both routed and fancied us on the day. Scotia had the celebration Scotia bottle of whisky on the table. Was it all for nothing or was the occasion to big for us. Well the answer was what dreams are made of. We did it and i can thank Ziets his team, jockey Louise and everybody concerned for making it a day to remember. This is why its called sport of kings and will never be forgotten.

SUMMERGHAND 106 runs One of the most prolific runners in big sprint handicaps, is off to help teach aspiring riders what to expect from a career in racing after being retired from competing.Owned by Salem Rashid Bin Ghadayer and trained throughout his career by David O’Meara, Summerghand raced 106 times between 2017 and 2024, winning on 17 occasions and earning £632,986 in win and place prize-money.O’Meara said: “He’s not as good as he used to be, and we didn’t want to be going on and on with him. I had hoped to win one more race on the grass with him before we stopped, and he ran a great race in Ireland during the summer and in the Stewards’ Cup, but he wasn’t quite able to. “He’s meant the world to us. He’s a horse who’s been with us for so long and he was the last horse left here who came with me when we moved to this yard in 2016. He wasn’t immediately that good – he didn’t run at two and ended his first season with a rating in the 70s – but he just took off as an older horse. He was amazing. “To win a Stewards’ Cup, an Ayr Gold Cup, be beaten a nose in the Wokingham, win the Hopeful Stakes, the Abernant – there’s loads I’m missing as well. He’s just remarkable
