Kingston Queen - Listed Bumper Winner
It has been a great week for the yard since last writing with another three winners added to the season’s tally, which included a listed success for Kingston Queen at Market Rasen. We are now on 41 winners for the season and are closing in on last year’s 46 winners with a nice amount of prize money won as well.

Fighter Allen Winner Wadebridge
I have just returned from a nice few days away in Tenerife with Leanne, so it was lovely to get some sunshine and re-charge the batteries. It was back down to earth with a bang when we returned home on Sunday evening with temperatures a lot colder back here, although they tell me it is much milder than it was while we were away!

Lady Balko Entered in the Classic Chase at Warwick
I hope you all enjoyed a Happy New Year and while the majority of the nation returns to normality this week, going back to work and school, I can take a welcome breath as things calm down a little after a hectic festive period.
While a little quiet on the runners front in recent days there has been plenty going on at home while we also fit in some half days for staff to try to let them have a little bit of downtime to spend with their families. I have to confess, I did not see the New Year in, I was in bed before heading racing on New Year’s Day at Exeter where the weather was miserable but it was nice to see many familiar faces in good spirits at the track.

Kingston Queen Sedgefield Winner
We travelled across the country in search of winners on Boxing Day and thankfully our endeavours paid off with and across the card double. The day did not quite start as well as I would have hoped with Walkadina and Vision De Main running below expectations. Vision De Maine returned with a nasty little cut, which he was quite sore on initially, but this is improving every day and I am sure he will bounce back to his true form next time.

Windbeneathmywings Winner at Ascot
It has been another good week for the yard with three winners, which included a breath-taking stable debut from Windbeneathmywings, and two wins for the ultra-tough and likeable mare, Lady Balko. We are now on 36 winners for the season and I hope we can add to this further before 2024 draws to a close.

King Turgeon - Winner at Cheltenham
It has been a great few days for the yard with a wonderful winner at Cheltenham on Friday and the sixth win of the year for Chemical Warfare at Newcastle on Saturday. King Turgeon has been the revelation of the season so far for the Pond House team, putting in a career best effort at Prestbury Park on Friday to win a competitive Premier handicap chase. King Turgeon started this autumn by winning impressively at Chepstow and then following up in the Grand Sefton chase at Aintree over the National fences. The plan was the Becher Chase at Aintree on the 9th December but Storm Darragh put pay to best laid plans.

Rian Corcoran Winner
We have not added to our winners tally in the last few days with the weather putting pay to some plans and from our very few runners we have had three seconds since last writing. Pachacuti bounced back from a below par effort on his seasonal return with a good performance at Wincanton, just losing out in a prolonged duel up the straight. He appreciated the return to three miles and he did nothing wrong in defeat, probably just bumping into a well-handicapped rival on old form. He has come out of the race well and it will not be too long before he will be back out on the track again.
