Bellewstown Wed, 26th Aug, 2026  Thesilverbridle We did (think she would go well today) - she's not the biggest, but she is quite well-bred as a half-sister to Senecia. We bought her in Goresbridge (Horse Sales) and she's just a lovely little filly. She tries hard. The track was probably not ideal for her, I'd say she wants a bigger track even though she is a smaller horse - all she really is is a galloper. Alex just kind of kept it simple, bounced her out, and we knew she would stay. Delighted! The owners (The 119 Partnership) are very good supporters of mine , so delighted for them. We have been lucky enough buying out of Goresbridge and it is great to get another one on the board. We'll definitely keep her going. She is a novice now until the end of April, so she is going to have to keep going for that. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in Sedgefield or somewhere. Baby steps and then see where she takes us.

She has a big frame and isn't fully furnished yet. Alex said she wasn't doing a tap in front. The owners have been very patient and it's nice to get her head in front. She had good bumper form, and there should be more to come from her.

Kilbeggan Sat, 8th Aug, 2026  Rexem He deserved it. He was a very unlucky loser here two runs ago and ran very well in the ‘Blazers’,. said McConnell. I have to praise Kilbeggan, they put on such good prize-money. It was very hard not to run him in this race with the prize-money that was there. He ran on Friday last and he rode out yesterday. I was fairly happy he was going to be fresh enough. Josh was very good on him and I’m delighted.
