First runner of the new season, first winner!

Cool by name, cool by nature! The whole team were thrilled to see Mrs E.C. York's Coolmoyne (2016 gelding by Ocovango) win the three-mile handicap chase at Hexham on the 4th May under a great ride from Callum Bewley. [caption id="attachment_3533" align="aligncenter" width="300"] COOLMOYNE in the Winners' Enclosure[/caption] He was our first runner of the 2024/24…

The Simon Waugh Racing blog is back, and so is Bridgetjoans, who produced her most impressive performance so far at Kelso on Monday (15.04.24) for the Northumberland Racing Club. With Amie in the saddle for the second time, Bridgetjoans (by And Beyond) made steady progress through the race to hit the front end in the late stages and kept…

We ran No Boundaries at Carlisle 4 November and we ended up 12th out of 19runners the ground was good and he ran with a hood on to try to keep him as calm as possible. I was very disappointed with the run as I was hoping for an improvement from his last run at Perth which…

The 20016/17 season was always going to be very difficult to follow but was made very frustrating by a series of places and very bad weather. However 2018/19 has started with 2 wins for the very patient Northumberland Racing Club 2. My Escapade came back from a break of 502 days having shown plenty of…

Training and riding her own horse, Winged Crusader, to run in The Foxhunters' , Amie made it over The Chair, but unfortunately, like many a horse and rider at Aintree, the Grand National fences claimed another victim and Amie was unseated at the 8th when Winged Crusader seemed to have begun to find a rythmn.…

Skye Chief, owned by Mrs Sarah Sutton and on his debut at Musselburgh, ran a dogged race to take a good second today. He will have learnt a lot. Very exciting prospect. It says Ludlow below but scroll on and you will see his race. [video width="480" height="360" mp4="http://www.simonwaughracing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mussel2nd.mp4"][/video]

Finally a meeting isn’t cancelled in the North

Musselburgh were allocated an extra meeting to make up for all the frost affected cancellations . So we took the opportunity to give a yard debut to Nick's Nipper for The Northumberland Racing Club. We were particularly pleased with her jumping and look forward to her running again perhaps in conditions more suited to her.

In Boric, we had our first ever runner in a Listed Race at the prestigious Fighting Fifth meeting at Newcastle on Saturday. The At The Races Rehearsal Handicap Steeple Chase (Class1)(Listed Race) had previously been won by Sue Smith's Wakanda in 2015. Boric and Wakanda lead the field until the fifth last where Boric took…

Boric receives a deserving drink and a wash down after his gallant second by a neck in the Class 2 Durham National today at Sedgefield. This is by far the most competitive race that Mrs. York's Boric has ever run in and he was gaining on the winning favourite and so another 2 strides and…

BORIC 2ND at CARLISLE! A tremendous return to the track after winning The Highland National last season. Over the shorter distance, Boric coped well with the fast pace and was never out of the first 3. He took up the running after the 3rd last and was only headed on the line by the Venetia…

The Season Gets Going Properly at Hexham

Three great runs at Hexham on Saturday really got the Molesden yard off to a great start in the new season. The ground was heavy but sloppy which was quite a test for all three horses particularly the two hurdling for the first time. Corinda, owned by Rhona Brewis, rewarded all the effort that has…

Dark and Dangerous makes his seasonal debut at Kelso

Following on from a very successful last season when he won 4 times over hurdles, Dark and Dangerous returned to the fray at Kelso on Sunday. With a front runner making a fast pace , he held on well and rallied to secure 4th place up the run in. He will come on for that.

Total Assets and No Boundaries Schooling on a beautiful morning at Molesden

Callum and Total Assets enjoying the autumn sunshine this morning schooling alongside The Northumberland Racing Club 2 new horse, No Boundaries, ridden by Amie. Total Assets looked the true professional we have come to expect and No Boundaries, in only his third schooling session over hurdles, went very well.

After our most successful season to date, 9 wins and 9 places, loyal owners and prospective new owners came to view the horses on Saturday We started off in the beautiful gardens of the farmhouse but ended up scuttling into one of the barns as the showers came down. But no matter as we were…

Border Breaker takes a trip to Uttoxeter

Border Breaker went down to Uttoxeter today in a 3 mile hurdle with Paddy Brennan on board. In a slow run race, Paddy held him up in mid division and he came through well, leading briefly up to the last hurdle, but couldn't quite keep up the momentum. He finished fourth having run and jumped…

Border Breaker gains another second at Hexham.

Two and a half miles over hurdles at Hexham and Border Breaker was only beaten by one progessive horse whilst holding off a group of challengers for a decent second place. He is coming back to form. Our summer horses are continuing to perform well

Imperial Focus runs well at Hamilton

Imperial Focus broke well at Hamilton and Joe Doyle eased him to the front where he was then headed at 2f out, but he battled really well to secure his fourth second place for owner The Yacht London, a win is beckoning. http://rukarchive.vod.dc.video.performgroup.com/processed/mp4/2017_06/1265825.mp4#t=312,433
