What an exciting weekend of racing from Cheltenham! Once again the stable enjoyed a great deal of success at the Paddy Power fixture with the three day meeting yielding three winners for the Pond House team. Much as I enjoy the meeting, I must confess to a small amount of relief that it is all over for another year – with the stable enjoying such a rich history of success at Cheltenham’s November meeting down the years, there is inevitably a greater degree of expectation and therefore pressure that goes along with it.

Last week was another productive one for the stable with four winners taking our seasonal tally to a very respectable 47. The successes of youngsters Saint John Henry, Tullyesker Hill, Herbert Park (pictured above) and Bidourey (none of them older than five) bodes well for the future of the stable, while we still have an enviable array of more established stars to look forward to in the weeks and months ahead. Indeed, there is plenty to look forward to as the tempo increases with the close of the flat season and we have a raft of entries this week, culminating in the Paddy Power meeting at Cheltenham this weekend.

It has been yet another busy week with a trip up to the sales at Newmarket punctuated by runners at the races and early closing entries. We picked up three nice prospects from the Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale, enjoyed a nice winner at Stratford when Street Entertainer bolted up in the selling hurdle under Tom Scudamore on Thursday and made entries for the Paddy Power Gold Cup, Hennessy Gold Cup and Greatwood Hurdle.

It’s all systems go now with the jump racing stepping up a gear not to mention the start of the Newmarket Horses In Training Sales commencing today for the next four days. There looks to be plenty of quality on offer and once again I have been burning the midnight oil searching for potential stars of the jump racing game to add to our team. I will be in attendance for the duration of the sale so if you would like to become a part of our family of owners, please do contact my office with your requirements. We have a proven history of finding the right horse for the right sort of money and with the world’s biggest horses in training sale currently taking place what better time to buy?

Following our visit from Ben Newton and Edward Whitaker last week, today (Monday) is the day you can see the fruit of their labours as Pond House kicks off the annual Racing Post Stable Tour series. If you have picked up a copy, you will see that we have been busy sourcing more exciting new recruits to the National Hunt game and two of those certainly looked the part with deeply impressive debuts over the weekend.

As far as I am concerned the first meeting at Chepstow at the beginning of October traditionally represents the start of the jumps season proper with the quality of horses on show stepping up a notch. Although the week just gone was the first in some time in which we have not registered a winner, there were still some promising performances to reflect upon and some exciting racing on the horizon with Cheltenham hosting their first meeting of the season this weekend.

With another three winners last week, our seasonal tally ticked over to thirty nine successes and the horses remain in very good heart. Bengali was the ready winner of a bumper on her racecourse debut, Gevrey Chambertin scored his first success over fences at Bangor and Famousandfearless followed up his recent chase success with victory at Uttoxeter yesterday, while there were a number of other noteworthy performances through the course of the week. Meanwhile Tom Scudamore was in good form in the saddle, securing his 50th winner some 7 weeks ahead of his previous best last year.
