The latest news on the Heart of the South horses.......

Friday 18th May

SHAMAHAN has been declared at Doncaster tomorrow - it will be his first run in 9 months as he hasn't run since winning at Windsor in August. We have been waiting and waiting for better ground and he missed his intended first race at Salisbury three weeks ago when it was very soft. It isn't ideal going all the way to Doncaster, but with the other options for him this week being at Leicester and Haydock, we are forced to travel. Hopefully next time we will find him a race closer to home!

It is going to be a busy week, LIGHTNING SPIRIT (Brighton) and IMPERIAL RUBY (Kempton) are entered on Tuesday, LIGHTNING SPIRIT is also entered at Chepstow on Wednesday. 

JUPITER STORM will today be entered at Goodwood on Thursday, a handicap over 9 furlongs. He has been well since Newmarket. SOUTH CAPE will be entered on Monday for an amateur riders race at Newbury next Saturday when Hayley Moore will ride. 

Tuesday 15th May

INTERAKT ran well at Ascot on Saturday but after leading most of the way was passed by a few in the final furlong. It has been a good week for her though and she will not run for a fortnight or so. She has been put up 4lb to 76. 

GOOD LUCK CHARM was disappointing at Windsor last night - it looked like he didn't stay the 10 furlong trip which he was trying for the first time. The very soft ground would not have helped though.

IL PORTICO has been declared on the all weather at Lingfield on Wednesday. 

We had a good trip to Weatherbys Racing Centre and Towcester Racecourse yesterday. Our next owner event will be held in conjunction with Gary Moore's Open Day in September. 

Friday 11th May

INTERAKT won her 5th race yesterday evening at Yarmouth! Our mare gets better and better and at the age of 5 has become a very good horse! She is so effective in the soft conditions and if she is in good form tomorrow morning, she will run at Ascot tomorrow afternoon. 

IL PORTICO bypasses the jumping this weekend and will go to Lingfield on Wednesday. SHAMAHAN will be entered on Monday for Doncaster on Saturday. 

Thursday 10th May

IMPERIAL RUBY put in a much improved effort at Kempton yesterday evening - he still has a lot to learn but he is going the right way and we expect further improvement next time. Mich Channon and jockey Sam Hitchcott were both pleased. 

INTERAKT goes to Yarmouth today with a great chance, she has also been declared at Ascot on Saturday, just in case the meeting at Yarmouth is abandoned. 

IL PORTICO has been given a late entry at Warwick over hurdles on Saturday. The flat card was switched to a hurdle card (due to a waterlogged flat track) yesterday. Gary will have to decide whether we run at Warwick, or Plumpton on Sunday (now heavy) or on the all weather next week. 

Wednesday 9th May

SOUTH CAPE has been given a clean bill of health following his dramatic pulling up at Lingfield last Thursday. Gary thinks maybe he got a mouthful of fibresand or just lost his footing but he seems absolutely fine and the vet can find nothing wrong with him. He will be aimed for a race at Newbury on 18th.

JUPITER STORM threw away his chances at Newmarket on Sunday with some very coltish behaviour and he pulled far too hard on the way to the start and in the race. Gary will work on getting him to settle better before next time, but hopefully now that he has had a run he will have lost a bit of that 'freshness' anyway! He goes to Epsom on Derby day. 

IMPERIAL RUBY runs at Kempton tonight. Mick Channon still thinks he has a bit to learn but we're hoping for a much better run than last time. INTERAKT is declared at Yarmouth tomorrow and must have a great chance if the meeting goes ahead - she also has an entry at Ascot on Saturday, just in case.

IL PORTICO is in good form since his run at Lingfield last week, he is entered over hurdles at Plumpton on Sunday. 2 shares remain available at just £250 each! GOOD LUCK CHARM is entered at Windsor on Monday and we're hoping he can go one place better than last week's second!

New filly 'MARMALADE' has settled in well at Cisswood - there are some lovely pictures of her on the 'shares for sale' page. 

Friday 4th May

SOUTH CAPE was pulled up at Lingfield yesterday after George Baker felt he had a 'wobble' mid race. The vets thought he may have had a fibrillating heart but he seemed fine after the race. The vets will continue to investigate. 

IL PORTICO ran a really encouraging race on his reappearance - he travelled very strongly and looked like he was going to challenge coming round the final bend but eventually tired as we expected he would. Still, he wasn't beaten far. He will come on a huge amount for this and we can't wait to see him out again soon!

JUPITER STORM has been declared at Newmarket on Sunday with Ryan Moore on board. The going is soft but the weather is expected to dry out - if it rains again Gary may reconsider. 

IMPERIAL RUBY has been entered on the all weather at Kempton on Wednesday. 

We have LIGHTNING SPIRIT (Bath) and INTERAKT (Windsor) entered on Monday, at the moment it is soft, heavy in places at Bath and heavy at Windsor but both are starting to dry out so we will keep a close eye on the going reports. Declarations take place tomorrow morning.

Thursday 3rd May

GOOD LUCK CHARM ran exceptionally well at Kempton on Tuesday evening, finishing second but looking like the winner if there had been another furlong to run. We thought the trip would be short for him (a mile) but he showed he can still be competitive at this trip. However over another furlong or two next time he will be even better. He was also entered at Goodwood on Saturday but will not go as the race comes a bit soon.

We are desperately watching the weather but it looks likely that the going at Salisbury will be too soft on Sunday for our two horses. 

IL PORTICO and SOUTH CAPE both run at Lingfield this afternoon - the meeting has been transferred from waterlogged Folkestone. We didn't expect to see either of them out on the all weather but Il Portico does have a win to his name on the aw at Wolverhampton. He is likely to need the run after having been off the track for so long and this is a stepping stone to a return to hurdling. SOUTH CAPE is a nine time winner, but he is 9 now and we are waiting to see over his next couple of runs whether he want to continue racing. 

Monday 30th April

GOOD LUCK CHARM goes to Kempton tomorrow evening with Ryan Moore on board - he is also entered at Goodwood on Saturday but as it looks like raining all week, he goes to Kempton.

JUPITER STORM and SHAMAHAN are entered at Salisbury on Sunday, JS also has an entry at Newmarket on Sunday in case the ground is better there. Gary is leaning towards sending DYNAMIC IDOL to Guernsey on Monday for a mile six flat handicap. He had two winners at the meeting last year.

IL PORTICO and SOUTH CAPE are entered at Folkestone on Thursday but the meeting has been abandoned - it will be transferred to the all weather at Lingfield instead and Gary will decide whether to run our horses. 

We have a new horse! She is a very pretty 2 year old filly by DUKE OF MARMALADE in training with Gary Moore - more details on the 'shares for sale' page.  

Saturday 28th April

With rain forecast all week Gary plans to declare GOOD LUCK CHARM tomorrow morning for Tuesday evening's race at Kempton. We didn't really want to run on the all weather, but the horse is ready to go and the weather is going against us for a run on the turf. The horse looks so well. 

TOBAGO BAY is back cantering after a few weeks of trotting, he also looks very well and happy.

FRUITY O'ROONEY has moved to Framfield to begin his holiday. 

IL PORTICO and SOUTH CAPE are entered at Folkestone on Thursday but surely the meeting must be under threat with all the rain. 

Wednesday 25th April

INTERAKT ran a great first race of the season to finish a close fourth at Windsor on Monday despite conditions not suiting her. It looks like there will be further improvement to come this year from our 4 time winning mare. BHELEYF also ran a nice race, however she will need to learn to settle better for next time. She is too quick out of the stalls for her own good! Both horses are fine following their races. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has been declared at Brighton tomorrow - she likes a bit of cut in the ground but we wouldn't mind if it stopped raining now! Unfortunately it is too soft for JUPITER STORM at Sandown on Friday. We have been looking forward to this for ages so it is very frustrating, Gary will now aim him for a 10f handicap at Salisbury on 6th when there is also a race for SHAMAHAN. 

SOUTH CAPE is entered at Sandown on Friday but is unlikely to get in - there is a race for him at Folkestone (where he has won before) on 3rd. MOHANAD is also entered at Sandown on Saturday for the bet365 handicap hurdle but is likely to run on the flat the following week instead. Good Luck Charm will be entered for Goodwood on 5th May. 

Monday 23rd April

FRUITY O'ROONEY ran another heroic race to finish fifth in the Scottish National at Ayr on Saturday. As usual he tried to lead throughout and he got swallowed up in the closing stages but he ran another very brave race and jumped the big fences really well. He is absolutely fine and will now have a long holiday!

IMPERIAL RUBY struggled at Newbury, running his first race ever on heavy ground was not ideal and we'll be hoping for a lot better next time out. 

We are on weather watch - Folkestone (where GOOD LUCK CHARM is declared tomorrow) is due for an inspection this afternoon. LIGHTNING SPIRIT should be ok on soft ground at Brighton on Thursday, but JUPITER STORM will not want it too soft at Sandown on Friday. He did his last piece of work this morning and went very well.

Friday 20th April

Unfortunately we didn't make a purchase at the Breeze Up Sales yesterday - the Shamardal filly we had our eye on eventually went to Sheikh Mohamed for £100,000! 

FRUITY O'ROONEY set off for Ayr at 9.30 this morning, the going at Ayr is still good, good to soft in places with a few showers forecast. It is an exciting but nerve-wracking time, and the Fruity owners will probably be pleased when it is all over!

SHAMAHAN and JUPITER STORM worked this morning (rather than on Saturday as usual) and both worked very well. SHAMAHAN didn't work so well on Tuesday after overreaching but he was brilliant this morning and will be ready to run very soon. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has been entered at Brighton next Thursday.

Thursday 19th April

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been declared at Ayr for Saturday's Scottish National and thankfully so has the top weight Junior, which means Fruity has only 10st 13lb to carry. If Junior had not been declared the weights would have risen and over 4 miles on soft ground, the less weight our horse has to carry, the better!

IMPERIAL RUBY has also been declared on Saturday, he makes his debut in the 1 mile 3 furlong maiden at Newbury. He is in good form and Martin Harley rides. It will be fascinating to finally see him in action, Mick has been pleased with him. Of course in this type of race you never know what you might come up against, but our horse will learn a lot from the run and we will learn a lot about him.

Eloise and John are in Newmarket today, first going to see ROME at Warren Place and then going to Tattersalls Breeze Up Sales to try to buy another 2 year old. Watch this space!

Wednesday 18th April

MOHANAD ran very well for a long way at Kempton yesterday before tiring in the closing stages. He will come on for the run, and the way he jumps gives us plenty to dream about for his novice chasing season. 

All being well IMPERIAL RUBY will be declared tomorrow for Newbury on Saturday. INTERAKT and BHELEYF have been entered at Windsor on Monday, with Harry Bentley booked to ride both. GOOD LUCK CHARM has been entered at Folkestone on Tuesday with Tom Queally on board. 

Sunday 15th April

MOHANAD has three entries, at Kempton (Tuesday) and Cheltenham (Wednesday) over hurdles and at Newbury on Friday on the flat. Plan A is Kempton, if the ground stays reasonable. 

SHAMAHAN has not been entered at Bath after deiciding the meeting comes a week or two too soon

Friday 13th April

DYNAMIC IDOL was disappointing at Newton Abbot yesterday - he was stuck on the inside on dead ground, but we still would have hoped for a better performance. He is  proving to be inconsistent - a performance like last time at Newbury would have seen him go very close.

MOHANAD is entered at Kempton on Tuesday and Cheltenham on Wednesday, Sheena will wait and see where the ground is most suitable before deciding where he runs. 

SHAMAHAN will tomorrow be entered for Bath on Friday. 

Wednesday 11th April

DYNAMIC IDOL has been declared at Newton Abbot tomorrow, whether he runs will depend on overnight rainfall as he doesn't want the ground soft. He ought to stand a good chance if only it stays dry!SOUTH CAPE was not declared at Leicester on Friday because Gary feels the race comes a week too soon. 

We are due a really busy spell with lots of horses due to run in the coming weeks - watch this space!

Tuesday 10th April

Unfortunately RED YARN did not make her hurdling debut over the weekend, Joe just wasn't happy with her. 

DYNAMIC IDOL is entered at Newton Abbot on Thursday, SOUTH CAPE is entered at Leicester on Friday. Ryan Moore is already jocked up and the ground is currently good to soft, so everything is in his favour. 

Saturday 7th April

Lots of owners were on the gallops at Cisswood this morning for 2nd lot, when we saw Shamahan, Jupiter Storm, Lightning Spirit, South Cape and Dynamic Idol in action. They all looked really well and JUPITER STORM in particular stood out. He worked with Venetian View, who was twice a winner last year at 2 (over 7 and 8 furlongs) and is rated 85. Our horse was cruising and was desperate to go faster. SHAMAHAN also looked well, he worked with very quick 5f sprinter Fathom Five (once rated 100) and is now around 3 weeks away from a run. 

We are looking into chartering a plane to fly owners and supporters to Ayr for the Scottish National on 21st April when FRUITY O'ROONEY is an intended runner. Please contact us for more details. 

Wednesday 4th April

Gary Moore decided that today's race at Exeter comes a little soon for DYNAMIC IDOL so he was not declared and he has instead been entered at Fakenham on Monday. 

We had a good JUPITER STORM stable visit yesterday, Tom Queally rode the horse in a piece of fast work and was very pleased with him. He has suggested starting off over 10 furlongs and the horse is pencilled in for a visit to Sandown on 27th April for a 71-85 handicap. SOUTH CAPE is ready for some entries and will run when the right race comes up - hopefully with Ryan Moore on board!

Monday 2nd April

BHELEYF ran a good first race on Saturday, finish fifth after racing very freely and going wide on the bend. She was great out of the stalls though, showed plenty of early speed and stayed on well at the end of the race and jockey and trainer were pleased. She has come out of the race very well and has a fantastic relaxed attitude, and she will be one to follow in her coming races. 

DYNAMIC IDOL has been entered at Exeter on Wednesday, he has come out of his Newbury race so well that Gary is ready to run him again. RED YARN will today be entered for maiden hurdles at Newton Abbot (Saturday) and Plumpton (Sunday). 

Friday 30th March

2 year old filly BHELEYF will be our first runner of the new flat season at Kempton tomorrow. She lines up for the 5 furlong fillies maiden, and all weather title challenging jockey Luke Morris takes the ride.  Joe Tuite is quite excited about her and we are expecting a big run. 

JUPITER STORM's regular rider Alan is delighted with his horse too - at the moment he is going half speed up the gallops alongside another horse and Alan says he feels fantastic!

Sir Henry Cecil reports that ROME has made a good recovery from a cut to his neck and is cantering away nicely. 

Tuesday 27th March

DYNAMIC IDOL has been left on a mark of 98 following his excellent second at Newbury on Friday. He surely must be winning soon following that performance!

2 year old filly BHELEYF has been entered at Kempton next Saturday, the first day of the new flat season. She is in great form and it is very exciting to have such an early 2 year old. 

Saturday 24th March

DYNAMIC IDOL ran a really good race under Hayley Moore to finish second at Newbury yesterday.  He now has the 'full house' having been ridden in races by all four Moore offspring, Ryan, Jamie, Josh and now Hayley! 

Mick Channon is delighted with IMPERIAL RUBY, saying 'he's the best I've ever had him'. The horse is scheduled to have his first race at Newbury on 21st April in a 3 year old maiden over a mile. A clip of him working last week is now on Mick's website www.mickchannon.tv

Friday 23rd March

Exciting news about BHELEYF this week, our 2 year old filly trained by Joe Tuite is a particularly early type and she is scheduled to be one of the very first 2 year old runners on day 1 of the new flat season. She looked so big and strong at this week's stable visit and Joe is getting quite excited about her! The race is a 5 furlong fillies maiden on 31st March at Kempton. INTERAKT also looked well and is on track for a race at Brighton on their first meeting of their season on 26th April. LIGHTNING SPIRIT is also pencilled in that day for the classified stakes that her older brother THE SHUFFLER won 2 years ago!

DYNAMIC IDOL goes to Newbury this afternoon with each way chances. The 2 mile 3 furlong trip ought to suit him, as will the quicker ground. Hayley Moore rides (it is a race for conditionals)  and this will be her first ride over hurdles. We think this will suit the horse, he doesn't respond to brute strength and we think Hayley will be able to cajole him into running a big race! Hayley is a very experienced rider, having won on the flat and in point to points, and has the advantage of knowing the horse well at home.

MOHAHAD has recovered from his knock and is pencilled in for either Kempton (over hurdles) on 17th April or Newbury (on the flat) on 20th.  

We still have spaces available on our trip to Weatherbys and Towcester races on 24th April - please contact us to book your place. 

Tuesday 20th March

We are still coming back down to earth after Fruity's brilliant run at Cheltenham last week! He has options at at Cheltenham, Aintree or Ayr (the Scottish National) for his final run of the season.

DYNAMIC IDOL is entered at Newbury on Friday, he looks great on the gallops. 

We will be holding a stable visit to see BHELEYF and INTERAKT at Joe Tuite's yard tomorrow. 

Thursday  15th March

We have finally come back down to earth after Fruity O'Rooney's heroic performance at the Cheltenham Festival! What an amazing day and what an incrediable horse he is! He came so close to winning (in fact we all thought he was going to win jumping the last) but he just got beat by his final, and well handicapped , rival. Take nothing away from the horse however, this was his best run to date and Jamie Moore (who gave him a peach of a ride) still thinks there is ore to come from this brave little superstar! Congratulations to all his connections.

More good news, Bheleyf had her first racecourse gallop this morning at Kempton and jockey James Doyle was mighty impressed with her natural speed and attitude! Should she come out of this exercie well she could be running very soon! Watch this space.

Tuesday 13th  March

Well today is the big day – 19 of 20 Fruity owners are on their way to Cheltenham for their horse’s big day. He is in great form, the ground is ok for him and the left handed track will suit. Competition is hot but we’re hopeful he can run a big race.

Hayley Moore has been riding SOUTH CAPE for the last week – he is really well  and very full of beans - not behaving like a 9 year old at all!

Joe Tuite tells us RED YARN’s schooling is going very well and he is provisionally aiming her at a maiden hurdle at Plumpton at the beginning of April. DYNAMIC DIOL is penciled in for Newbury on 23rdMarch.

Friday 9th March

FRUITY O'ROONEY definitely has a place in the JLT Specialty Chase at Cheltenham on Tuesday. He is in great form and does his last piece of work tomorrow. Unfortunately MOHANAD has knocked himself this morning and while it is not a serious injury it does mean that  he misses Wednesday's Coral Cup. 

SHAMAHAN and JUPITER STORM both went well this week and Gary Moore hopes they are just a month away from some entries. 

Our next visit to see ROME at Sir Henry Cecil's Newmarket yard will be on Thursday 19th April. This is for owners and prospective owners of ROME and will include a day at Newmarket Racecourse's Craven meeting and an evening at the famous Tattersalls Breeze Up sales.

Friday 2nd March

FRUITY O'ROONEY does not go to Doncaster tomorrow - the ground is drying out andit would mean missing Cheltenham, which would be a huge shame when we have a horse this good!

RED YARN once again failed to fire on Tuesday - Joe might try sending her hurdling. 

Tuesday 28th February

RED YARN runs at Lingfield this afternoon - she has been really fresh at home so hopefully she will put her best foot forward today!

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been entered in the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster on Saturday. This is plan B in case he misses the cut at Cheltenham, we will know more tomorrow when the weights are published. 

IL PORTICO has returned to Cisswood. He looks great and we can't wait to see him in action. Any owners wishing to visit would be most welcome.

Saturday 25th February

Eloise was at West Ilsley this morning with several owners to see IMPERIAL RUBY - it is still early days in his prep but he looks very well indeed - we have 2 shares available in this very handsome horse, please see the 'shares for sale' page for more details.

I (Sarah) was at Cisswood - I caught the end of FRUITY's work, (he looked very well indeed) and then met lots of owners for 3rd lot when we saw JUPITER STORM, SHAMAHAN, GOOD LUCK CHARM, LIGHTNING SPIRIT and SOUTH CAPE. None are ready for fast work yet but they all looked really well. The old man SOUTH CAPE looked very sprightly and the youngsters all went well too. 

Our next visit to Sir Henry Cecil's yard to see ROME will take place on Thursday 1st March. 

Friday 24th February

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been ruled out of the Racing Plus Handicap Chase on Saturday - it was a tough decision but with a suggestion of good to firm in the going description Gary and Jamie Moore have opted to wait for Cheltenham on 13th March. MOHANAD is also expected to go to Cheltenham, he is entered in the Coral Cup on the Wednesday. 

Unfortunately TOBAGO BAY has a slight strain and will not run at either Sandown or Kempton this weekend.

DYNAMIC IDOL did not jump well enough at Huntingdon yesterday despite having schooled brilliantly - his day will come but he looks as though better ground and a stronger test of stamina will suit him better. He is fine this morning.

RED YARN will go to Lingfield on Tuesday, Joe is continuing to school her over hurdles to get her thinking ! 

Tuesday 21st February

FRUITY O'ROONEY is one of just fifteen left in the Racing Post Chase at Kempton on Saturday - Gary will decide this week whether to run or to wait for Cheltenham. He worked fantastically on Saturday morning. 

TOBAGO BAY has entries at Sandown on Friday and Kempton on Saturday. DYNAMIC IDOL is expected to go to Huntingdon on Thursday. 

RED YARN will school over hurdles tomorrow to see whether it reignites her enthusiasm for racing. 

Sunday 19th February

DYNAMIC IDOL finished fourth on the flat at Lingfield on Wednesday and while it wasn't a bad run (he wasn't far behind some expensive horses with Triumph Hurdle aspirations) it demonstrated that his future lies over hurdles and he has been entered at Huntingdon on Thursday. TOBAGO BAY has been entered at Sandown on Friday, hopefully this time the meeting will go ahead as racing has been abandoned the last two times he has been entered. 

Monday 13th February

After -10 and -11 degree nights over the weekend the Plumpton meeting today was lost so we will need to look for an alternative race for TOBAGO BAY. There are options at Sandown on 24th and Fontwell on 26th February.

While jumping conditions are so bad Gary plans to send DYNAMIC IDOL out on the all weather - he has been declared at Lingfield on Wednesday. RED YARN was entered at the same meeting but she will go to Kempton on Thursday instead. 

Friday 10th February

DYNAMIC IDOL is so well that Gary doesn't want to wait for the thaw and better ground, he has entered the horse on the all weather at Lingfield on Wednesday. RED YARN is also entered at the smae meeting, she will also have the option of going to Kempton the following day. 

We're keeping our fingers crossed for Plumpton on Monday!

Wednesday 8th February

Racing at Huntingdon tomorrow has been abandoned so Tobago Bay has been given an alternative entry at Plumpton on 13th Feb. Cisswood is under thick snow but with two all weather gallops Gary is able to continue as normal. Pictures of some of our horses in the snow are now available on our facebook page. Sheena West is finding it harder to deal witht he snow up on the South Downs above Lewes, her horses aren't able to do much more than canter. She tells us that MOHANAD is in great form though, he is ready to begin faster work when the snow clears and is on track for a trip to Cheltenham for the Coral Cup. 

John and some owners went to visit Rome on Saturday and were very pleased with how the horse was looking. We will be going again to visit Warren Place on 16th Feb. 

Wednesday 1st February

DYNAMIC IDOL ran his best race yet to finish 3rd to Paul Nichols' triumph hurdle hope Dildar at Taunton yesterday. He was happier on the good to soft ground but jockey Josh Moore predicts even better on quicker ground. He has shown that he has a real future hurdling and we're looking forward to his next outing. Incidentally, he was the second of our horses to be placed at a big price this week, FRUITY O'ROONEY returned at 22-1 on Saturday, and DYNAMIC IDOL returned at 50-1!

The British Horseracing Authority has today put on an extra all weather card at Wolverhampton on Saturday with all of the jumping under the threat of freezing. Joe Tuite has entered RED YARN in the mile handicap.  

Monday 30th January

Everyone is talking about FRUITY O'ROONEY's dramatic 3rd place in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster on Saturday! Once again he surpassed all expectations to finish 3rd at 22-1 despite finishing with his saddle on his hind quarters and Jamie Moore riding bareback. Jamie was distraught because he felt he had a chance of winning but we are just delighted to see such a fantastic performance again from our horse. There is a great photo on the Fruity O'Rooney page. 

DYNAMIC IDOL has been declared at Taunton tomorrow - the ground is good to soft, soft in places but Taunton doesn't get too heavy and hopefully this ground will be better than he has met so far. Josh Moore will ride. 

We had a fantastic day at Fontwell on Friday - 90 owners and guests joined us for hospitality in a fantastic suite in the new grandstand. The food was lovely, the racing was competitive and we all had a great time. 

Thursday 26th January

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been declared for the £75,000 Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster on Saturday. It is a huge race and the horse is running off a career high mark of 140 but he seems to be getting better and better and he is in great form. TOBAGO BAY is also expected to go to Doncaster for the 2 mile 3 1/2 furlong handicap hurdle on the same card. 

DYNAMIC IDOL was entered at Huntingdon tomorrow but will not go, the ground is soft and we are looking for better ground. He is entered at Taunton on Tuesday and the ground there is good to soft, with dry weather forecast. 

RED YARN is fine after a hold up last week and Joe Tuite is looking for another race for her. A stable visit to Joe's to see the KHELEYF 2 year old went well on Saturday and she will be named this week. 

Friday 20th January

RED YARN was due to go to Lingfield today but she was slightly lame yesterday morning. It is improving already and she should be out again soon. TOBAGO BAY has not been declared for Wincanton tomorrow because the ground is fairly testing and over 2 miles 6 furlongs the horse will need a sounder surface. Gary has his eye on a race at Huntingdon on 9th February. DYNAMIC IDOL missed his intended race at Lingfield yesterday for the same reason.  He will be out as soon as we get some better ground. 

Our next owner event (following Fontwell's raceday hospitality next Friday) will be 'A Evening with the Handicapper' at Mannings Heath Golf Club next to Gary Moore's Cisswood Stables on Tuesday 6th March. 

Dominic Gardner-Hill the head handicapper in the UK will be present to answer all your questions on how the handicapping system works and any specific questions regarding horse's ratings. Race commentator Simon Holt will be the chairman. This event is exclusive to clients and guests of Heart Of The South. Gary Moore will be opening his yard beforehand for any owners that would like to visit their horses. 

Tickets are only £15 and will include refreshments. All proceeds will go to Moorecroft Racehorse Welfare & Sussex Air Ambulance. Interest is high so call now to reserve your place!

Tuesday 17th January

DYNAMIC IDOL, FRUITY O'ROONEY and SHAMAHAN all looked very well on the gallops on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful bright morning but it was absolutely freezing! Thats what winter racing is all about though, and all of the owners who came had a lovely morning. GOOD LUCK CHARM is only walking and trotting, but he looks amazing. 

Gary would like to send DYNAMIC IDOL to Lingfield on Thursday if the meeting goes ahead - the course is currently frozen. RED YARN is entered on the all weather at Lingfield on Friday, Joe will decide today whether to declare her tomorrow. She was disappointing last time but has seemed well since. 

TOBAGO BAY has been entered at Wincanton on Saturday - again Gary would like to send him if the meeting goes ahead. The horse is in very good form.

SOUTH CAPE is due back at Cisswood in the next couple of days. 

Thursday 12th January

Our chasing star FRUITY O'ROONEY has been entered in the listed Skybet Chase at Doncaster on 28th January. It is a 0-155 worth £75,000 so it is going to be a hot race! The provisional plan is to go to Doncaster, then to Newbury for the Racing Plus Open Handicap Chase on February 25th, then to head to Cheltenham for the 3 1/4 mile chase on day 1 of the festival. 

We will be holding a visit to see our KHELEYF filly at Joe Tuite's yard on Saturday 21st January, when owners in the partnership will be choosing the filly's name. 

IMPERIAL RUBY is doing well in his trotting work and will be moving back to Mick Channon's yard on Tuesday. Mick will be very impressed when he sees how well this horse has done over the winter. ROME moves to Warren Place to join Henry Cecil's next week from his pre training yard and we will be taking interested parties to see him on 4th February. 

Tuesday 10th January

RED YARN was disappointing at Lingfield on Friday, she has been very keen at home but seemed unenthusiastic on the day. This is typical RED YARN, she can be in and out, but hopefully next time she will be on a going day! She will have the blinkers back on next time  and is likely to be dropped back in trip slightly. She is absolutely fine following the race and we will see where Joe wants to send her next. 

Three year old colts JUPITER STORM and SHAMAHAN are both in good shape, JUPITER STORM was paid a compliment yesterday by Henry Clay, who we beat at Brighton in Ocober, winning a decent maiden. Our colts are only in gentle work at the moment but will be ready to run by the time the flat season begins in April. 

We still have places avaialble at our hospitality event at Fontwell's race meeting on 27th January. It will be really good fun, please call us now to reserve your place.

Thursday 5th January

DYNAMIC IDOL found the ground much to sticky at Huntingdon yesterday and once he was finding life difficult Jamie Moore allowed him to coast home. Next time we will wait for better ground, this horse is better than he has shown so far. 

RED YARN goes to Lingfield tomorrow for her first run for Joe Tuite. She will be ridden by promising apprentice Charlie Bishop who has already been to the yard to ride her on the gallops. She has had a good break from the usual routine since being with Joe and we are hoping she will be fresh and enthusiastic. She is well handicapped on her best form and we can't wait to see what she can do.

Monday 2nd January

DYNAMIC IDOL will hopefully head to Huntingdon on Wednesday for his second run over hurdles. Unfortunately he missed the cut at Taunton last week and at Plumpton today the ground will be just too soft. Declarations for Huntingdon take place tomorrow. 

RED YARN is entered at Lingfield on Friday as expected. 

Our January newsletter has just been sent and there is a full update on each of our horses on the January News page of this site. 

Wednesday 28th December

What a fantastic win from FRUITY O'ROONEY at Kempton yesterday! Our little horse has the heart of a lion and he once again showed enormous courage to lead all the way in a competitive and high grade 3 mile chase. As well as netting over £12000 in prize money he also returned at 12-1 so it was a lucrative day for all concerned. He is in great shape this morning. 

TOBAGO BAY ran at Kempton on Boxing Day, he led for a long way but paid the price of going off so quickly, finishing down the field. He showed all of his old enthusiasm though and there will be other races for him. 

DYNAMIC IDOL is ready for a second run over hurdles and ought to go much closer on better ground this time. He is entered at Taunton (30/12) Newbury (31/12) and Plumpton (2/1), there is also a race for him at Lingfield on 5th Jan. Gary will let us know shortly which race he prefers. RED YARN is on track for her first race for Joe Tuite at Lingfield on 6th. 

Wednesday 21st December

Jockey Jamie Goldstein felt he was going to win on GOOD LUCK CHARM at Kempton yesterday but he got swallowed up by speedier types in the closing stages. He will be well suited by a step up in trip next season to 10 furlongs plus when he will be able to make the most of his stamina. He will now have a short break before being prepared for the new turf season.

TOBAGO BAY is on track for the 2 mile 5 furlond handicap hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day and FRUITY O'ROONEY will be entered today for the 3 mile handicap chase there the following day. 

Monday 19th December

GOOD LUCK CHARM goes to Kempton tomorrow for a median auction maide over a mile. The horse ran a very good race to finish second last time and he is very well. We are concerned about the Khalid Abdulla runner Lancaster Gate, apparently this horse is thought highly of at home despite only finishing 6th on his only start to date. You can't run scared of just one horse though, and we'll take our chance!

Friday 16th December

FRUITY has not been declared at Ascot tomorrow, he will wait for Kempton on 27th. 

Thursday 15th December

Gary Moore was pleased with DYNAMIC IDOL's sixth place at Folkestone on very heavy round on Tuesday. We didn't expect the horse to like the going but he raced keenly and attacked his hurdles well - he would just be more effective on better ground. He will head to Plumpton on 2nd or Lingfield on 5th January and ought to go close then.

TOBAGO BAY has not been declared at Ascot tomorrow, the ground will not suit him. He will head to Kempton on Boxing Day. 

Tuesday 13th December

DYNAMIC IDOL goes to Folkestone today in good form but we are not sure whether the soft, heavy in places ground will suit him. However you don't know until you try!

FRUITY O'ROONEY is entered in the 3 mile listed chase at Ascot on Saturday. Gary will have a close look at the entries before deciding whether to go to Ascot or to wait for 27th at Kempton. 

Monday 12th December

DYNAMIC IDOL has been declared at Folkestone tomorrow. We're very much looking forward to seeing him have his first run over hurdles. 

We held stable visits on Saturday to see RED YARN at Joe Tuite's yard and IMPERIAL RUBY at Fawley House Stud. We saw RED YARN in action, she seems very well and has had a complete break from the routine, leading Joe's yearlings in their hacks around the fields. She is now back in full training but will go hunting this week for a fun outing. Joe has a race at Lingfield in mind for her over a mile and a quarter on 5th January. We also had a quick look at our KHELEYF filly and INTERAKT. The filly is beautiful and she looks very powerful. INTERAKT is spending time in the paddocks on a full holiday but she also looked very well.

IMPERIAL RUBY has done really well at Fawley House Stud. He is a very attractive horse and he has filled out nicely without getting at all fat! He has been able to spend time in the paddocks since being gelded and he will start on the walker this week before returning to West Ilsley and Mick Channon in January or February. There are new photos of RED YARN and IMPERIAL RUBY on their web pages. 

Thursday 8th December

GOOD LUCK CHARM ran a really promising race to finish second at Kempton yesterday, he was beaten by a gambled on horse and Tom Queally told us after the race that our horse will be a nice three year old over longer trips next year. 

DYNAMIC IDOL has been entered at Folkestone on 13th and will today be entered for Newbury on 14th.

Tuesday 6th December

FRUITY O'ROONEY has not been entered at Doncaster on Saturday, Gary decided that there would be no point going all the way to Doncaster when there are nice races at Ascot on 17th and Kempton on 27th. He could feasibly run Fruity in both of these races.

TOBAGO BAY will be entered at Ascot on Friday 16th December. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT will now have a winter holiday at Framfield, and will be brought back for a turf campaign in the spring. 

Monday 5th December

GOOD LUCK CHARM worked well again at the weekend and has been declared for the mile nursery at Kempton on Wednesday, Tom Queally rides. Gary has not declared LIGHTNING SPIRIT - while she seems well she has not quite sparkled as he would have hoped in her latest pieces of work. 

Our new hurdler DYNAMIC IDOL is going well and Gary has pencilled in races at Folkestone on 13th or Newbury on 14th December. 

We will be holding a visit to Joe Tuite's yard on Saturday for owners of RED YARN, or anyone interested in joining this partnership. 

Thursday 1st December

The December issue of our newsletter is now available, to subscribe please fill out our website contact form. An update on all of the horses appears on the December News page of thiswebsite. 

GOOD LUCK CHARM has been given a provisional entry at Kempton on Wednesday and LIGHTNING SPIRIT is entered at Lingfield and Kempton the same day. All shares have now been sold in our KHELEYF filly with Joe Tuite and we will soon begin the naming process.

Friday 25th November

We are now taking bookings for our next Owner Event on 27th January at Fontwell Park. Our last event at Fontwell was a big success and this year we will have use of a suite in the new glass fronted Premier Grandstand. We will hear from a guest speaker and we will also hold a draw for our recently accumulated winners trophies. The package includes admission, racecards, a two course hot buffet lunch and a welcome drink. We have subsidised places for owners at £25 each, guests will be £55. Please contact Sarah on 07714 170457 or sb@hotsr.co.uk to book your place.

Tuesday 22nd November

FRUITY O'ROONEY looked as fresh as a daisy out on the gallops this morning and you wouldn't know he had a tough race on Friday. Philip Hide made sure he didn't do too much but you could see that Fruity wanted to go a lot quicker! DYNAMIC IDOL worked well, pleasing Jamie Moore, who said 'he gets better and better the further he goes'. He is due to go for a racecourse gallop at Lingfield tomorrow. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and GOOD LUCK CHARM have both had a course of antibiotics after coughing a few times but they looked fantastic, LIGHTNING SPIRIT did a faster piece of work and has not coughed since the weekend so she ought to be ready for entries soon. GLC has possibile targets at Kempton on 7th or 4th Dec. 

Joe Tuite had a parade of his yearlings on Sunday and our KHELEYF filly looked very well - we now have just one 10% share remaining. RED YARN has settled in very well there and is due to have a day out hunting next week. She will really enjoy that! 

Sunday 20th November

FRUITY O'ROONEY put in a heroic effort at Ascot on Friday (as did Jamie Moore!) to finish a very brave second, giving away a lot of weight to the winner. His jumping wasn't as fluent as it can be because the fences are so big for a small horse but despite this he was so game and he led throughout the race. When the favourite, recent Cheltenham winner SWING BILL came to challenge it looked like it was all over  but Fruity saw him off, only to be passed by stealthily ridden PROPHETE DE GUYE. Once again Fruity surpassed all expectations. He is a very special horse! You can now watch the race on Fruity's page. 

DYNAMIC IDOL did a very nice piece of work with Gary's recent winner RIGHT STUFF yesterday morning and he is almost ready to run. 

Friday 18th November

FRUITY O'ROONEY goes to Ascot this afternoon for the 3 mile handicap chase. The trip will be more suitable than the 2 1/2 miles at Sandown last time when they were always going a bit quick for him, putting pressure on his jumping. He still has a big weight to carry for a small horse though, and it might be a tough ask again today. He always trys his best though, and will be fitter for having had a run.

GOOD LUCK CHARM was disappointing at Lingfield on Wednesday, it is possible that he is suffering from the slight bug which is going around at Gary's yard (FRUITY O'ROONEY has scoped clean and doesn't seem to be affected). Hopefully he was just having a bad day and will do better next time, we still have faith he is much better than that. 

Wednesday 16th November

LIGHTNING SPIRIT is unfortunately a non runner this afternoon after she coughed a couple of times yesterday morning. She will have a short course of antibiotics and will be back in action soon. GOOD LUCK CHARM is in good form and he lines up in the 1.20pm race. 

Our newest purchase DYNAMIC IDOL has been schooling very well over hurdles and will soon be ready to run. John has put a great sequence of action photos on the website

Monday 14th November

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and GOOD LUCK CHARM have both been declared at Lingfield on Wednesday, Seb Sanders rides both horses. 

TOBAGO BAY ran well for a long time at Fontwell yesterday, although the sticky ground and big weight found him out in the end. It was good to see him racing with enthusiasm and hopefully he'll be winning again soon.

FRUITY O'ROONEY is entered over 3 miles at Ascot on Friday. 

Friday 11th November

TOBAGO BAY has been declared for the Tikram (formerly the Salmon Spray) Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell on Sunday, Andrew Glassonbury rides. FRUITY O'ROONEY was entered in the Southern National but 3 1/2 miles under top weight would be hard work for a little horse and Gary has decided to save him for another day. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and GOOD LUCK CHARM are both entered at Lingfield on Wednesday. It looks like a good opportunity for  LIGHTNING SPIRIT to follow up her Kempton win.

Details of our new horses have been confirmed, please see the 'shares for sale' page for more information. Yearling colt ROME will be trained by Henry Cecil, DYNAMIC IDOL is an exciting hurdling prospect with Gary Moore. 

Wednesday 9th November

John and Eloise are meeting with Henry Cecil tomorrow to discuss the prospect of him training our yearling colt by HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR next year! It would be hugely exciting to have a horse trained by such a high profile trainer. 

Shares in our Kheleyf filly with Joe Tuite have all but sold out in record time, and if we can reach an agreement with Henry Cecil tomorrow then demand in the next partnership could be unprecedented! After the success of JUPITER STORM and SHAMAHAN this year we will also be purchasing another yearling to go into training with Gary Moore this month.

We are also on the verge of securing a new National Hunt horse with Gary - details of DYNAMIC IDOL will be available shortly. 

Tuesday 8th November

FRUITY O'ROONEY and TOBAGO BAY have been entered at Fontwell on Sunday. FRUITY ran at Sandown on Saturday but has come out of the race so well that Gary has given him a provisional entry in the Southern National. All three of the horse's novice chase wins came at the course and he does seem to love it there. TOBAGO BAY is entered in the handicap hurdle named after Gary's star chaser (and Cheltenham Festival winner) Tikram. He has been working well since his disappointing run on the flat at Wolverhampton.

Sunday 6th November

FRUITY O'ROONEY was always going to find it difficult in a hot handicap chase at Sandown over 2 1/2 miles at Sandown yesterday. They were always going a stride too fast for him which put his jumping under pressure but Gary and Jamie are hopeful he can regain the winning thread over a longer trip and down a grade in the coming weeks. He is very happy this morning and has come out of the race well.

DEUX ETOILES doesn't go to Hereford tomorrow, unfortunately he has a sore leg. More to follow.

Tuesday 1st November

LIGHTNING SPIRIT is entered at Wolverhampton on Friday but will not run, Gary will give her a bit longer before runnning her again after last week's exciting win.

FRUITY O'ROONEY is entered at Sandown on Saturday in a 2 1/2 mile chase, he will neeed the forecast rain to arrive if he is to run.  DEUX ETOILES has also been entered for his first race of the season, a 2 mile 1 furlong handicap hurdle at Hereford on Monday. 

Monday 31st October

Just a short note to let you know we all survived the 10 mile Great South Run yesterday! We are all still feeling slightly fragile but we're very proud of ourselves! Photos to follow soon. Thank you so much to all the owners who sponsored us, we think in total we will have raised close to £7,000 for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association. You can still sponsor us at 

www.justgiving.com/indiadamski  

Thank you!

Thursday 27th October

LIGHTNING SPIRIT ought to have every chance of winning her first race at Kempton this evening.

TOBAGO BAY and GOOD LUCK CHARM go to Wolverhampton tomorrow. TOBAGO BAY has generally been disappointing on the flat and this is a warm up for a return to hurdling. He is very well though and certainly has the ability to run well. GOOD LUCK CHARM is dropped back to 7 furlongs which is a slight concern but he has been in fantastic form since his fourth last time at Lingfield. 

Shares are now available in our powerful yearling filly by Kheleyf, in training with Joe Tuite. Please see the shares for sale page for details and photos. 

Tuesday 25th October

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has been declared at Kempton on Thursday and Ryan Moore takes the ride - our filly hasn't had the best of luck but having Ryan on board gives her a big advantage and we hope this might be her day!

GOOD LUCK CHARM will be declared tomorrow for Friday's race at Wolverhampton. 

FRUITY O'ROONEY popped over a few schooling fences this morning and jumped well, hopefully the forecast rain will arrive and we will have suitable ground for him to go to Sandown on 5th November. 

Friday 21st October

It was brilliant to see JUPITER STORM win at Brighton yesterday. Our handsome Galileo colt has always shown such promise and he looked really impressive over the mile trip in this good maiden, staying on purposefully to beat some nice horses. He was always going to be a better three year old when he fills out his big frame and in this horse, SHAMAHAN and GOOD LUCK CHARM we have some very nice 3 year olds for next season.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT showed at Wolverhampton that she wants further than 7 furlongs and we really hope our unlucky filly can win soon.

RED YARN ought to have been given a more patient ride over 10 furlongs at Brighton and she ran out of steam late on to finish 5th. She is another who can be winning soon. 

Thursday 20th October

GOOD LUCK CHARM ran really well at Lingfield on Tuesday to finish fourth behind a Godolphin winner. He was a big outsider in the betting after his disasterous debut at Epsom but this time he behaved beautifully and he really stood out in the Parade Ring so we were not surprised to see him run so well. This was effectively his first race because he got so overrought last time and to be so competitive against more experienced and well regarded horses is very exciting. Gary was delighted and is looking forward to running the horse again in around 2-3 weeks time. 

We have three runners today, Red Yarn (2.30pm Brighton) Jupiter Storm (3.05pm Brighton) and Lightning Spirit (9.10pm Wolverhampton). All ought to have a good chance and with Gary's yard back in form it could be a very exciting day. Gary had a double at Plumpton on Monday, and winners at Fontwell and Kempton yesterday. 

Tuesday 18th October

GOOD LUCK CHARM runs at Lingfield this afternoon, he still has a lot to learn but we are confident he is going to behave better than he did last time. He is still a bit green and we expect him to improve again for today's run. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT goes to Wolverhampton on Thursday and Pat Cosgrave takes the ride, she needs to prove she goes on the all weather but her last run was an improved effort and she is in good form. 

JUPITER STORM runs at Brighton on Thursday, he handled the track on his racecourse gallop and is in good form. RED YARN has also been declared at Brighton. she missed her race at Wolverhampton at the weekend when she was off her food but she is much better and is also expected to line up. 

Sunday 16th October

MOHANAD ran a very good race at Cheltenham yesterday, jumping brilliantly and looking to be in with a chance coming into the straight, but the weight told in the end and he finished a good sixth. He will now have a holiday after a busy season where he has won 3 races and been placed countless times. 

RED YARN was a non runner at Wolverhampton last night because she didn't eat up the day before and seemed slightly off colour. She has eaten half her breakfast this morning so hopefully she is feeling better, she has an entry at Brighton on Thursday.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT missed the cut at Yarmouth on Tuesday so is expected to head to Wolverhampton on Thursday. GOOD LUCK CHARM goes to Lingfield on Tuesday, James Doyle rides. 

Friday 14th October

MOHANAD has been declared at Cheltenham tomorrow, with the quick ground in his favour we are hopeful he can finish his very successful season in style! He was raised a huge 9lb for his win at Huntingdon though, so this will be much harder. FRUITY O'ROONEY was not declared at Cheltenham, we are waiting for some rain before he makes his seasonal return.

JUPITER STORM and GOOD LUCK CHARM have been for a racecourse gallop at Brighton this morning, both went well and seemed happy on the undulating track. GOOD LUCK CHARM holds an entry at Lingfield next Wednesday and both horses are entered at Brighton on Thursday. LIGHTNING SPIRIT has also been entered at Wolverhampton on Thursday. 

Thursday 13th October

GOOD LUCK CHARM doesn't run at Brighton today, Gary thinks he could do with one more week, he will have a racecourse gallop tomorrow (With JUPITER STORM) and he will run at Lingfield or Brighton next week. 

RED YARN has been declared for the 9 1/2 furlong race at Wolverhampton on Saturday and George Baker will ride.

Tuesday 11th October

LIGHTNING SPIRIT ran an improved race at Yarmouth yesterday, she finished a staying on seventh after finding herself behind a wall of horses early on. She was gaining on the leaders throughout the final furlong and looked unlucky not to have finished closer. Gary will send her to Wolverhampton on 20th for her next run and we're desperately hoping for better luck for our filly.

GOOD LUCK CHARM has been declared to run at Brighton on Thursday. 

RED YARN has two entries at Wolverhampton on Saturday (15th). Gary has a choice of a mile or a 9 furlong handicap. 

FRUITY O'ROONEY has been entered for the 3 mile chase rather than the 2 1/2 mile chase at Cheltenham on Saturday, he will not run unless there is significant rain but both Jamie Moore and Philip Hide feel that the longer race is preferable for the horse. If the ground is too quick he could go to Stratford on 22nd or Sandown on 5th November. 

MOHANAD is also entered at Cheltenham in the 2 mile 5 furlong hurdle. He has been raised a whopping 9lb for his win at Huntingdon last week. 

THE SHUFFLER looked fantastic at a stable visit at the weekend, both he and TOBAGO BAY are almost ready for entries now. 

Friday 7th October

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has been declared at Yarmouth on Monday - she just scraped in as bottom weight. The trip is a mile and the track is nice and straightforward so it will be interesting to see what she can do. 

Friday 7th October

FREE TUSSY ran very well at Kempton on Wednesday evening and with a bit more luck in running would have finished in the prize money. It was an encouraging effort on his first run back after his holiday and he is sure to improve for the run too. His next race could be the lady amateurs race at Nottingham on 28th. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has entries at Yarmouth and Salisbury on Monday and Kempton on Wednesday, she has now also been entered at Kempton and Brighton on Thursday. All of these races have a lot of entries so it makes sense to enter for all suitable races and see where we get in. 

GOOD LUCK CHARM  has been a lot more sensible since he was gelded and is very well. He has been entered at Brighton on Thursday, alternatively he could wait for Lingfield (18th) or Newbury (21st)

MOHANAD missed the cut for the Cesarewitch and Sheena will not send him to Chepstow on Saturday where the ground is soft. He has an entry at Salisbury on Monday but Sheena plans to take him to Cheltenham next Saturday (15th) for a 2 1/2 mile handicap hurdle. This is the day that FRUITY O'ROONEY is also pencilled in for his first run of the season, so it will be an exciting day!

Tuesday 4th October

ROYAL REASON was disappointing again yesterday, she raced more prominently and was going well but didn't finish her race well and we are at a loss to explain the performance. 

THE SHUFFLER worked very nicely this morning in his first bit of fast work and Gary is very much looking forward to running him. LIGHTNING SPIRIT went well too, she has entries at Yarmouth and Salisbury on Monday and there are other races for her next week so we expect to see her racing again. 

FREE TUSSY goes to Kempton tomorrow in the 6.40pm handicap. 

Monday 3rd October

Brilliant win from MOHANAD at Huntingdon yesterday! Further details to follow. JUPITER STORM is fine after his visit to Newmarket on Saturday. 

ROYAL REASON goes to Warwick today instead of Southwell tomorrow. 

Friday 30th September

JUPITER STORM has been declared for the Tattersalls Millions sales race on Saturday and is one of 16 runners. MOHANAD has been declared at Huntingdon on Sunday.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and FREE TUSSY are both expected to go to Kempton on Wednesday. FREE TUSSY is unlikely to get in at Windsor on Monday. LIGHTNING SPIRIT is having a second try on the all weather, Gary puts her poor performance on the surface last time down to the fact that a lot of his horses were not right, and we hope for better this time. 

ROYAL REASON will to to Southwell on Tuesday rather than Warwick the previous day. 

We have just bought a yearling filly by KHELEYF who will be trained by Joe Tuite - details of this new partnership will be available soon.

Tuesday 27th September

LIGHTNING SPIRIT didn't finish as close as we had hoped at Ffos Las yesterday, Eloise was there and she says the ground was bottomless,far softer than the good to soft we were expecting. Martin Harley left the filly with a lot to do and she really struggled in the mud. 

JUPITER STORM is on track for the £500,000 Tattersalls Millions Trophy at Newmarket on Saturday, its a huge ask but what an exciting race to be involved in! The horse worked well this morning. 

MOHANAD is entered at Huntingdon in a 2 1/2 mile hurdle on Sunday. He has been asked to run in some very competitive high grade hurdle races on his last few NH starts, this will be an opportunity to run back at his grade and we hope he'll go very well. 

Entries have been made today for FREE TUSSY at Windsor and ROYAL REASON at Warwick on Monday. 

Monday 26th September

LIGHTNING SPIRIT is on her way to Ffos Las this morning, she has her ground, the trip should suit and she will be wearing cheekpieces so we are hoping for a good performance. 

We had a fantastic stable visit at Cisswood on Saturday morning when we had the rare chance to see all of the HOTSR inmates (bar the injured South Cape)  out for third lot.  This included the jumpers FRUITY O'ROONEY, TOBAGO BAY, and DEUX ETOILES, half siblings THE SHUFFLER, LIGHTNING SPIRIT and GOOD LUCK CHARM, plus JUPITER STORM, entered at Newmarket on Saturday, and FREE TUSSY and RED YARN. 

Friday 23rd September

RED YARN put in a much improved run on the all weather at Wolverhampton last night to finish fourth. She raced much more keenly than she has for a long time and also looked to keep much straighter than she has done recently. 

INTERAKT ran another cracker at Goodwood on Wednesday, finishing fourth in a very competitive 0-80 handicap. If the ground had been a bit quicker she would have finished closer. It has been a very busy and successful season for this filly and she will now be wound down over the next few weeks before having a wll deserved holiday.

SOUTH CAPE was due to run today but has unfortunately aggravated an old injury and will need some time off. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT will go to Ffos Las on Monday, she has 2 entries there but Gary favours the mile option unless the ground gets very soft

Wednesday 21st September.

ROYAL REASON was disappointing yesterday - we hoped she would run better but she got very tired in the closing stages over a mile and 7 furlongs. Its possible that she needs more time after her recent ilness.

RED YARN goes all the way to Wolverhampton tomorrow for a fillies' handicap. It will be her first run on the all weather since she was a 2 year old and she will run without blinkers in an attempt to re-ignite her. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has been working well and has entries at Ffos Las on Monday and Chepstow on Tuesday. 

Monday 19th September

We had a lovely day at Newbury on Saturday with the owners of JUPITER STORM. Our Galileo colt ran very well on his first racecourse start, he was a bit slow out of the stalls but was quickly up to lead and jockey Pat Cosgrave was impressed with his lond stride. He got bumped about and was a bit green when push came to shove, but ran on very well in the closing stages and will come on an enormous amount for the run. We can't wait to see him out again!

MOHANAD ran another good race to finish fifth in the Cesarewitch trial at Newmarket. He is high enough in the handicap now but can always be relied on to try his best. Both horses are fine following their races.

ROYAL REASON has been declared at Folkestone tomorrow - she is up in trip to a mile and 7 furlongs and is in fantastic form. Joe Tuite thinks this marathon trip could be the making of her. INTERAKT has been declared for Goodwood on Wednesday. RED YARN will go to Wolverhampton on Thursday rather than Kempton on Wednesday and SOUTH CAPE has bypassed Folkestone tomorrow and is entered in the Silver Cambridgeshire on Friday. 

Friday 16th September

Thank you so much to all those owners who have very kindly sponsored us for the 10 mile Great South Run on Sunday 30th October. At the time of writing we have raised well over £3000. 

We are raising money for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association. This is a genetic disorder which Eloise's daughter Indi suffers from. Eloise and Caroline Penny, Indi's dad Luke, Sarah Bell and 5 others are taking part. We would be very grateful for any further sponsorship - you can donate at:

http://www.justgiving.com/IndiAdamski 

Thank you!

Wednesday 14th September

SOUTH CAPE: Has age finally caught up with this 9 time winner? We hope not! He now heads to Folkestone next Tuesday 20thSeptember over 9½ furlongs.

JUPITER STORM: Makes his debut in a Yearling Bonus Maiden at Newbury this Saturday over 7 furlongs. The only worry would be the soft ground.

GOOD LUCK CHARM: Has been gelded after a somewhat lively racecourse debut! He will win before the end of the year and shares are still available.

INTERAKT: Now 18lbs higher than in June! Next target Goodwood 21stSeptember over 6 furlongs.

RED YARN: Has enjoyed a freshen up, heads to Kempton 21stSeptember over 10 furlongs.

THE SHUFFLER: Back cantering!

LIGHTNING SPIRIT: Back to full health, runs at Chepstow or Fos Las later this month.

MOHANAD: Continues his great run of seconds, although we wouldn’t mind a 2nd in the £50,000 Cesarewitch trail this Saturday at Newmarket!

FREE TUSSY: Will run in an Amateur Riders race at Nottingham on 28 September with Hayley Moore on board.

ROYAL REASON: All eyes on this filly next Tuesday at Folkestone 20th September, expected to go very well.

DEUX ETOILES, TOBAGO BAY, FRUITY O’ROONEY: All back at Cisswood preparing for the jump season, stable visit Saturday 24thSeptember

Monday 12th September

JUPITER STORM has been entered for his first race at Newbury on Saturday - he worked well on Saturday morning.

MOHANAD has been entered at Newmarket for the Cesarewitch trial on Saturday, he ran brilliantly over a mile and a half at Epsom last week and the 2 miles 2 furlongs at Newmarket will be more to his liking. He will sneak in with a lovely low weight.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT is not taking up any of her entries because she was coped late last week and is still showing signs of a slight infection-she will have another course of antibiotics. 

SOUTH CAPE was disappointing again at Goodwood yesterday, he will be upped in trip next time because he doesn't seem to have the speed over a mile now.  

Friday 9th September

GOOD LUCK CHARM was a real handful at Epsom yesterday on his first racecourse outing. He was thoroughly overexcited and demolished a saddling box before the race and needed several handlers to keep him under control. Once he got onto the track he failed to settle at all and threw away his chance. He has been gelded today (poor chap!) and this should make him much easier to handle. Darryl Holland said after the race that the horse can win races once he calms down and he should be back on the track in 3-4 weeks time. 

MOHANAD ran a great race again to finish second in the jump jockeys derby at Epsom. He is a remarkable horse and he seems to be improivng still!

SOUTH CAPE has been declared at Goodwood on Sunday, he is down to a mark of 71 and he should have his preferred softer conditions so we hope to see him back in the winner's enclosure.  

Tuesday 6th September

MOHANAD has been declared for the jump jockeys race at Epsom on Thursday, Leighton Aspell will ride. GOOD LUCK CHARM has also been declared for what will be his first race. We still have a couple of shares left in this lovely strong 2 year old, and we are offering to give you your money back if he does not win by the end of the year! Please contact us for more details.

Monday 5th September

LIGHTNING SPIRIT was declared for Newcastle today but unfortunately a blood test showed that she is fighting a slight infection. There is no sense in sending a horse all the way to Newcastle if she is not at her very best, so LIGHTNING SPIRIT is a non runner. She looks great though, certainly not ill, and we hope to see her out next week instead. 

Friday 2nd September

INTERAKT found one too good at Brighton this afternoon - it was another placed finish to add to her collection though! We will speak to Joe tomorrow about what might be next on her agenda.

GOOD LUCK CHARM has been entered for his first race at Epsom on Thursday - shares are still available in this promising horse and if he doesn't win by the end of the year we'll give you the purchase price back!

MOHANAD has also ben given an entry at Epsom - the 12f jump jockeys challenge is a race in which he finished second last year. 

Thursday 1st September

The latest update on all of our horses is now available on the 'September News' page of this website.

INTERAKT has been declared at Brighton tomorrow - she carries a 6lb penalty for last week's win but Charlie Bishop rides, claiming 7lb. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT has entries at Newcastle (Monday) and Lingfield (Tuesday). There will be more entries to follow as we try to find the right race and the best ground for her. 

It was a promising return from ROYAL REASON at Goodwood on Tuesday when she was not beaten that far in a decent maiden. She will come on for the run and Joe Tuite expects her to be winning a race soon. 

Tuesday 30th August

Thank you to all owners who attended our summer celebration at Framfield on Saturday - it really was a lovely day! Owners were able to see TOBAGO BAY DEUX ETOILES and IL PORTICO and we had a wonderful lunch (thanks to Caroline Penny and her helpers).

ROYAL REASON goes to Goodwood this afternoon, she is really well but this is very much a re-introduction to racing and she will come on a lot for the run. 

INTERAKT is entered back at Brighton on Friday.

Saturday 27th August

INTERAKT won her third race of the season last night night at Brighton, she really is in flying form at the moment and she could be back at Brighton for a fillies race next week. For more details see the 'our winners' page. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT finished fourth which is an improvement on her previous runs but we still think she is capable of much better. The softer ground was to her liking but we think she wants further and also a more straightforward track.  She is entered at Folkestone on Wednesday.

Wednesday 24th August

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and INTERAKT have both been declared at Brighton on Friday evening. One wants soft (LIGHTNING SPIRIT) and one wants quick ground (INTERAKT) so we will be watching the weather with interest. LIGHTNING SPIRIT has alternative entries next week at Yarmouth and Chepstow.

FRANKEL's jockey Tom Queally rode our two year olds JUPITER STORM and GOOD LUCK CHARM yesterday morning. He liked both horses a lot, JUPITER STORM is ready to run now and should make his debut in mid September, GOOD LUCK CHARM had a race pencilled in at Epsom next week but Tom thinks he will benefit from a week or two more work. 

Our impressive 2 year old winner SHAMAHAN chipped a bone in his knee during his race at Windsor last week. This is a great shame because he looked very smart, he has had a successful operation to remove a fragment of bone this week and is recuperating well, he will be back on the track at the beginning of next flat season. 

ROYAL REASON has been entered at Goodwood next Tuesday, she has moved yards and had treatment for stomach ulcers since she last ran, she looks very well and we are looking forward to seeing her back on the track. 

SOUTH CAPE ran a lacklustre race at Windsor on Monday, we are scratching our heads about how to bring him back to form.

Monday 22nd August

MOHANAD found the going at Newton Abbot too sticky on Saturday and finished a tired horse. It was a big ask running him in such a competitive race but we're sure he would have finished much closer on quicker ground. He is fine following the race. 

SOUTH CAPE goes to Windsor this evening for another try at 10f. He didn't settle over this longer trip last year but we do think he needs further as he gets older and we hope it will suit him today.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and INTERAKT are entered at Brighton on Friday, INTERAKT is a likely runner while LIGHTNING SPIRIT will only run if we get significant rain. 

Interest has been high in our latest partnership, GOOD LUCK CHARM is a 2 year old by DOYEN in training with Gary Moore. Gary is so confident this horse will win this year that we are offering your money back if he does not win by 31st December! See the 'shares for sale' page for more details.

Tuesday 16th August

What a thrilling win from SHAMAHAN at Windsor yesterday! Congratulations to all his owners, the horse certainly made it look easy! For further details and a film of the race please see the 'Our Winners' page. 

MOHANAD is entered at Newton Abbot on Saturday for the valuable handicap hurdle, Sheena plans to enter him for the Cesarewitch on 8th October and its trial on 17th September next. There's nothing like aiming high!

Sunday 14th August

SHAMAHAN has been declared for his second race, at Windsor tomorrow evening. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT and RED YARN were not declared at Brighton on Tuesday. LIGHTNING SPIRIT also has an entry at Folkestone on Wednesday but she needs softer ground so we're hoping for rain. RED YARN is expected to go to Salisbury on Friday for a lady amateurs race, Hayley Moore will ride. 

Saturday 13th August

INTERAKT ran another brilliant race (probably her best run so far this season) to finish second at Salisbury on Thursday afternoon. She has gone up 9lb since her Brighton win in June but seems to be getting better and better. She is likely to go to Brighton on 26th next. 

SOUTH CAPE didn't get the ground we hoped for, rain fell elsewhere in Sussex but unfortunately not over Goodwood! Tadgh O'Shea said he felt great but couldn't get going in time on the quicker ground, we will be looking for softer ground and possibly will try upping him in trip next time. 

Wednesday 10th August

An update on some of our horses:

SOUTH CAPE: Runs tomorrow at Goodwood in the 7.05 Handicap over 1mile. Has a decent record here and off a good mark.

JUPITER STORM: Continues to impress at home and continues to be entered in nice races; latest the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy in October.

INTERAKT: Runs tomorrow at Salisbury in the 4.50 Fillies Handicap. A hattrick is on the cards. One share is for sale in INTERAKT for just £250! Go to Salisbury as an owner and win some prize money! Please contact Eloise on 0780 9087136 for details.

RED YARN: Likely to run at Brighton next Tuesday 16thAugust over 7f.

LIGHTNING SPIRIT: Entered at Yarmouth next Monday 15thAugust, expected to run well. Ignore her last run.

IMPERIAL RUBY: Does not run at Newbury on Friday due to a setback.

MOHANAD: Unlucky not to win at Lingfield again. Now heads to Newton Abbott for £30,000 Handicap Hurdle on 20thAugust.

SHAMAHAN: Promising debut 3rd in a competitive Maiden, now entered for Windsor on Monday 15thAugust.

Monday 8th August

MOHANAD goes to Lingfield today with a great chance. It would be lovely to see him begin a sequence of wins after having finished second so many times! 

Our two year old colt by DOYEN has been named GOOD LUCK CHARM and shares are now available - please see the 'shares for sale' page for more details. Why not join us on the gallops to watch him in action? Gary Moore expects him to have his first race this month. 

INTERAKT (Salisbury) and SOUTH CAPE (Goodwood) are entered on Thursday and IMPERIAL RUBY is entered at Newbury on Friday. 

Saturday 6th August

LIGHTNING SPIRIT didn't win as we had expected at Lingfield yesterday, she didn't seem to enjoy the all weather surface and we will be running her on the turf next time. She is better than she has shown so far. 

MOHANAD has been declared at Lingfield on Monday - he looks to have a good chance of winning at the course again. SOUTH CAPE is entered at Goodwood on Thursday evening, INTERAKT is entered at Salisbury on Thursday too. Joe Tuite had intended to give her a longer break between races but she is so well he has revised his plans!

IMPERIAL RUBY has been entered for his first race, at Newbury on Friday. We will have to wait until the entry in confirmed tomorrow to see whether he will get in as there are a lot of entries. 

Thurday  4th August

SHAMAHAN had his first run this afternoon at Folkestone, he finished 3 or 4 lengths behind the odds on winner in third and it looked like a pretty decent debut run. It will be interesting to see where Gary sends him next because he is sure to have learned a lot. 

LIGHTNING SPIRIT goes to Lingfield tomorrow. As it turned out there was plenty of rain at Brighton but at declarations on Wednesday Gary was worried that Brighton on Friday may be too quick. There is no reason why she shouldn't like the all weather and we're hopeful of a big run. 

MOHANAD wasn't declared at either Ascot or Newmarket on Saturday, Sheena plans to send him back to Lingfield (where he won last time out) on Monday.

Tuesday 2nd August

SHAMAHAN is declared for Folkestone on Thursday but his participation is still dependent on some rain. He has also this morning been entered for Windsor on Monday. 

MOHANAD has three entries - he stands no chance of getting in at Ascot on Saturday (for the stayers race at the Shergar Cup meeting) but could go to Newmarket the same day. However Sheena has also entered him at Lingfield on Monday and on first impressions, Lingfield looks like an 'easier' opportunity. 

 We are still waiting to see whether any rain arrives before deciding where to declare LIGHTNING SPIRIT on Friday. 

JUPITER STORM and our DOYEN 2 year old (soon to be named) worked particularly well this morning. 

Wednesday 20th July

Fingers crossed for MOHANAD at Sandown this evening - it will be a damp evening by the looks of it but the horse does have some good form in the soft, so we hope he will run well. 

SOUTH CAPE has been entered at Glorious Goodwood on Tuesday in the mile handicap, he will also be entered there on Saturday for the 9f apprentice handicap.
