ON THE CLOCK

I have noted on several occasions before how often the first race on the card is run in the fastest time of day and pontificated as to what the reasons for this might be In the vast majority of cases the figure is validated by a subsequent performance, but some remain inexplicable – such as Shoal Bay’s large margin win last year at the Croome

We now have another example, following the win of Another Furlough (116) at Badbury This performance is difficult to reconcile on form with the runner-up, Punches Cross, having run moderately in recent seasons and demonstrably better over a shorter trip, and the remainder of the field largely comprised of ageing back numbers. Nevertheless, with the field well strung out behind and with the sectionals supporting the figure, the only option is for us to except it at face value What is clear is that Another Furlough is fast becoming something of a course specialist. This was his third course victory, but with the Badbury season now over for another year, I recommend that connections source a similar left handed circuit for the horse’s next outing. The aforementioned Punches Cross (108) ran creditably in second showing enough here to suggest we can make a fist of it between the flags, having previously raced from the yard of Joseph O’Brien.

The Badbury maiden was split four ways and Division 3 saw an impressive debut for four-year-old No Drama This End (87- 108 with weight for age adjustment) Well touted beforehand, he started odds on in a field of twelve and obliged with the minimum of fuss. Likely to head for the sales, he possesses both the looks and pedigree (his dam won seven times at Auteuil and is a half-sister to the Swinton hurdle winner Le Patriate), to attract major interest. It remains a point of interest however that the time of his race was some six seconds slower than that of Another Furlough’s.

On the previous day at Horseheath there was another interesting maiden performance. Dale Peters had highlighted his Largy Pearl as one to follow in pre-season previews only for the horse to disappoint twice, first in the slop at Chaddesley and then when only last of three finishers at the previous Horseheath meeting – when sent off favourite. This time he was sent off at odds of 8/1, with punters making the Ellis debutante For One Night Only favourite in a fairly deep field of 12. The pair had the finish to themselves with Largy Pearl (108) proving just the stronger on the run-in. The winner has plenty of scope and can certainly upgrade whilst the year younger For One Night Only (100), a completely different stamp of a horse, looks another to follow and may benefit from racing on a less testing track.

REPORTS

THE PUCKERIDGE AND ESSEX HUNTS

SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2024

By Mike Ashby

It was particularly pleasing for the local East Anglian enthusiasts to see four horses, trained in the region, race to victory in the Puckeridge and Essex fixture, held at Horseheath.

Over the years there has sadly, been a decline in the number of horses in pointto-point training, based in the East Anglian region and from the 41 runners, on the day only 13 came from trainers currently operating in the area.

Each East Anglian winner was enthusiastically welcomed back into the winners’ enclosure; none more so than Mens Open victor, Ragnar Lodbrok. Trained at Newmarket by Jenny Owen and ridden by Alex Chadwick this was the 9yo gelding’s seventh success from 10 outings; three being recorded at Horseheath. There was something amiss when Ragnar Lodbrok ran at the last meeting here, as he didn’t ‘eat up’ as normal for four days after the race However, he was back on song here and The Whiskey and Water partnership have been thrilled with their asset and a fine turn of speed, after all four runners jumped the last fence almost in unison settled the outcome of the race by a length. This was Chadwick’s fourth winner in 7 days, including a hurdle success at Fakenham the previous day, and in his mind the outcome was “Never in doubt. He jumps well and when asked he always answers”

Jenny Owen had initiated a training double in the opening Conditions contest which saw Knight In Dubai supplement his previous course victory last month, with a convincing success under an ultra-confident ride by Rupert Stearn. The partnership was last of the nine runners going out on the final circuit, although there were only 5 lengths between first and last. Clondaw Westie was bowling along in front until unshipping Izzie Marshall at the top of the hill, five fences out. Good Source, the eventual runner-up and Knight In Dubai jumped alongside each other three out but the winner powered clear and was 6 lengths to the good at the last obstacle; a distance maintained through to the winning post.

Three runners lined up at the start of the Ladies Open event but the race was reduced to a match between Bawnmore and No Hassle Hoff as a result of their other rival, unseating at the first fence. The two remaining horses contested the whole race with no more than a couple of lengths between them with Kate Gowing on No Hassle Hoff, always just edging the lead. Try as they might, Bawnmore and Ellie Holder were still 2 ½ lengths adrift at the winning post. This winner is owned by the Turner family from Ampton, near Bury St Edmunds, and with trainer Ed away on skiing break, saddling duties fell to mum Rose and brother Ben who were naturally delighted by the performance of their entrant. The winning rider Kate Gowing’ post-race summary of the race “ He’s a happy little horse and he enjoys that type of race He jumped well and made my life easy ”. Ben Turner himself had enjoyed a rather hectic week having attended the NFL Super Bowl in Las Vegas last Sunday to being at Horseheath a few days later. No wonder such comments were being bandied about, such as ‘ Ben touchdown Turner’ and you made a ‘Swift switch’ from Vegas to Horseheath!

All the Ammunition, trained by David Kemp at Kilverstone, near Thetford stepped up on his defeat by the useful Trojan du Berlais at the previous Horseheath meeting, when overcoming the front-running Touch Tight on the run-in, by 1¾ lengths. Dale Peters had the ride and Kemp stated afterwards that the 7yo had been with them for 3 years and is a big horse and it has taken time for him to grow into his frame The current plans are for him to stay pointing in the near future.

The two successes achieved by trainers who operate outside the region were Largy Pearl ridden by Dale Peters and trained at Sawtry, near Peterborough, whilst Muckamore had travelled from Francesca Poste’s stables in Warwickshire giving Harry Arkwright his 6th career win, in the concluding novice riders’ race

Largy Pearl came out on top in the Maiden race where 12 runners faced the starter and Jepsone was the early front-runner with the favourite, For One Night Only, and Jack Andrews always handy The Borobudur was making his effort when falling while Bless The Moon began creeping into contention.

Three out, Largy Pearl and For One Night Only had pulled clear of their rivals and the former jumped the last with 2 to 3 lengths in hand but a tight tussle took place on the run-in with a winning margin of a short-head being the judge’s verdict in favour of Largy Pearl. Peters was ”not surprised” regarding today’s performance and “ he’s improving all the time” having been purchased privately out of Stuart Crawford’s Irish yard, after finishing 2nd in a Maiden on his Irish pointing debut in April 2023.

Muckamore’s victory was the second time he and Harry Arkwright had secured a win since they formed their partnership They enjoyed an Edgcote success in April 2023 and there was an opportunity for a family celebration as Harry’s parents Arabella and Johnny, the owners of Muckamore, were in attendance to collect the trophy at the resultant presentation.

We have been treated to some exciting racing in the five meetings that have taken place, in East Anglia, and this was another outstanding day’s sport to bring the Horseheath fixtures to a close for another season.

THE COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE CLUB (WESSEX)

SUNDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2024

By Bob Bracher

The sun shone at Badbury Rings after heavy rain in the previous 24 hours and this made the going on the soft side and a number of horses found this too testing. However, the ground played to the strengths of a couple of course specialists and the two leading riders in the country were able to secure wins in five of the nine races with Will Biddick securing three victories and James King two successes. Elsewhere there was a first riding triumph for Abby Henry and a first course success for Murray Dodd.

The Bryanston School Club Members race provided the third course success from four visits for Harry Ryall’s stable star Another Furlough. Ridden as usual by Rob David he bided his time until making up ground on the second circuit and by the time the field reached the cross fence he was in front. Despite getting a little lonely in the home straight he had too much in hand over Punches Cross ridden by Will Biddick. A delighted trainer said ‘he will move up to Open company next with a race at Cothelstone being considered’ with the ultimate goal this season being the Intermediate Final at Cheltenham in May.

The Savills Wessex National Mens Open was a high-quality race with victory going to another course specialist in the form of Dr Rhythm, ridden by Will Biddick, ahead of Lift Me up ridden by Jack Andrews and The Kings Writ, the mount of Josh Newman, who is the usual rider of Dr Rhythm. Will sitting on Tina Dunsford and Peter Clarke’s gelding for the first time secured a number of good leaps from him and showed the benefit of his outing at Milborne This was his third career victory at Badbury in the last three years and a delighted Keith Cumings was thrilled with the performance of his stable star

The Hendy Jaguar sponsored Conditions race for Novice Riders produced the biggest field of the day with sixteen runners lining up The race looked to be between Westhill, ridden by Fred Philipson-Stow, and Western Cowboy ridden by Will Badlan who vied for the lead for most of the race with the former looking the likely winner jumping the last. However, Abby Henry had other ideas and producing a strong run from the final fence grabbed victory in the final strides. Abby, 23, originally from Ludlow where she had hunted and ridden ponies, now lives in Lambourn and is an assistant to the wellknown pre-trainer Malcolm Bastard from Aldbourne near Marlborough. Bought privately out of Fran Nimmo’s yard the mare has already run two good races for Abby this season and is proving to be a good schoolmistress for her

The Howden Insurance sponsored Ladies race was expected to give Gina Andrews another winner aboard Ludlow Hunter Chase winner Captain Tommy but once headed approaching the final ditch he soon weakened and was pulled up The race then developed into a battle between the mare Walkin Out ridden by Anna Johnston and Montanna partnered by Chloe Emsley with the last-named drawing clear on the run in to give owner Reg Hopkins a welcome winner Explaining that ‘I was worried about the ground for him as he had not run well on his seasonal debut’ he then proudly said ‘I am really chuffed with that performance and pleased for Ed (Walker) who has done a lot with him.’

The training performance of the day came from Red Nika ridden by James King and trained by Eamonn O’Donnabhain. Defying an absence from the racecourse of approaching three years he was too good for Great Colewood ridden by Chloe Emsley in the South West Wills and Probate Limited sponsored Restricted race Previously trained by Tom Lacey he was taken on by Dan Shinton who acts as farrier to Tom’s National Hunt yard and was given time to recover from the injury he suffered on his last racecourse appearance. Dan was keen to give credit to Toni James who had looked after him in that first year when he was off the course Now owned by the Day Dreamer Partnership who are made up of other

Runners in the Maiden (Div 2) run down the home straight

clients of Dan, the long-term goal for the gelding is the Dunraven Bowl Hunter Chase at Chepstow

The decision to divide the Maiden race into four races proved spot on with 49 of the 56 entries being declared to run All supported by the Injured Jockeys Fund the first division provided James King with his second winner of the day aboard Julie Wadland’s Glenmount who easily beat his thirteen rivals. Setting off in front, James soon had his rivals toiling and had twenty lengths in hand from his nearest rival Sforza Castle Previously runner up at Larkhill and Milborne St Andrew he certainly stayed the three mile trip to give his trainer a welcome winner on her birthday. He looks one to follow this season.

Will Biddick brought up his second winner on the day aboard Rachel Bartlett’s home bred gelding Dorset Diamond in the second division. With his only serious

rival Moon Lady unseating her rider Chloe Emsley at the second last Will was able to come home virtually solo Bred by Rachel out of the mare Bobbys Choice who won two races for Richard Miller both at Badbury Rachel wanted to ‘thank Richard Miller for giving her the mare’ from whom she has bred this winner and his brother Dorset Dazzler

Will completed his treble aboard the very smart 4-year-old No Drama This End in the fastest division of the Maiden when easily beating the other 4-year-old Rowdy ridden by James King. By the fashionable sire Walk in the Park this striking grey gelding is owned by Will and Geoffrey Brown from Exmoor Bought by Will and Geoffrey at the Goffs July Sale for 26K Euros as a first venture by them into buying a store. Explaining the connection Geoffrey said that ‘I first supported Will when he returned to pointing from Venetia Williams and we have remained friends ever since and when I heard he

wanted to venture into buying a couple of stores I decided to be a part of the action’ Known for being a part owner of Lil Rockerfeller trained by Neil King this is his first venture back into pointing for many years. The gelding is next likely to be seen at a forthcoming sale at Cheltenham.

The final division of the Maiden went to Hurricane Deal trained by Tom Britten and ridden by Murray Dodd. Trained in Shropshire by Tom who is assistant to National Hunt trainer Alistair Ralph for owners Mark Bricknell, Mark Edwards, Derek Boughton and himself he explained that ‘we bought the horse out of Sam Thomas’s yard and thought that he would be good enough to at least win a Maiden’ Murray who also works at Alistair Ralph’s yard was left clear at the last fence to record his first victory at Badbury
