We were delighted to welcome two new horses on
Thursday: Homer Run and Benozzo
Gozzoli.
Homer
Run won last time out at Towcester in very game fashion. He has had 17 runs and been placed in the
first four nine times, and in his last 5 runs he has come 1st twice,
2nd once and 3rd twice – not a bad effort! He is still only a 5 yr old and looking at
him it does appear there is more improvement to come; as he needs to strengthen
up and mature a bit and still looks a little weak.
We
plan to give him one more run before he has his summer break. He may run at Hexham this coming Saturday,
then he will be turned out and have his shoes off. We will be planning to run him next season without shoes.
There
are shares available in this lovely prospect, which we know is tough, genuine,
sound and has proven ability. It is
also a chance to be a part of the very friendly syndicate called EPDS Racing. The syndicate is run by John Powell and
Tracy Sloan who always put their horses’ well-being first; and will stop at
nothing to ensure that happens. Please
make contact with either John Powell direct or we can forward your details on
to John. It is a great fun team with
excellent opportunities for affordable racehorse ownership. EPDS Racing’s details are: www.epds-racing.co.uk and John Powell
can be contacted on: 07812 342192
John
Powell also bought Benozzo Gozzoli, who is named after the great Italian artist
who plied his trade in the fourteen hundreds.
John only started riding earlier this year and has bought Benozzo to
ride in a charity race at Newmarket in August.
Ben is in training and John will be coming down regularly to ride him
here at home and we will help him as much as we can. John has already passed the test at The British Racing School in
Newmarket under the watchful eye of ex-top jockey, Steve Smith-Eccles. We are all very much looking forward to
August! Benozzo is a lovely looking and
well-behaved horse that we also like a lot.
