Broughtons Flare featured in one of the most ridiculous handicap races of the season at Newmarket on Friday evening when the Haggis trained Nahaarr cruised to a 5L win easing down to win a Class 4 0-80 7 furlong handicap. The unbeaten Dark Angel colt was handed a 75 rating by the handicapper despite the fact he had beaten 92 rated Britannia Stakes ...
Gonbutnotforgotten was narrowly beaten out of a place despite being 7 1/2L 7th of 13 runners behind Comeonfeeltheforce at Kempton on Wednesday. As what seems the case at Kempton, Team McBride were given another unfavourable draw (8), and chose to drop out to the rear in the impeding rush for position. However, the draw cannot be blamed as winner Co ...
Intimate Moment made her track debut in a CL4 6F Fillies Novice at Newbury on Tuesday and although finishing 9th of 10 runners 11 1/2L behind Twice as Likely, she showed plenty of promise. She and 6/4F Pretty Pickle were the only two of the 10 on debut and this was evident with both set alight in the parade ring and going down to post. Intimate Mome ...
A busy Saturday delivered mixed results for Team McBride with Vampish taking centre stage with an eye catching 3rd in the 2.10pm and the winning run of Camachess coming to an abrupt end when she was soundly beaten by a former McBride stablemate Suzi’s Connoisseur later in the day. Whilst Fountain of Life ran well before falling away 2 from ho ...
Team McBride took the short trip Chelmsford on Wednesday and connections will have had mixed emotions from their horses performance. Simba Samba was first up in the opener looking to build on a promising run on less than favourable ground at Yarmouth where he came 3rd after having a wind op 6 weeks earlier. Backed in to 2nd favourite against much wa ...
Molly Mai was unlucky not to place in the CL4 mile Adnams Ghost Ship Handicap at Yarmouth today. Although she handled the conditions which, with the prevailing wind was changed to Soft after Simba Samba’s opener, she probably found a mile too stiff for her considering she was also up in class this time. She certainly played her part in a compe ...
Team McBride took another trip to Yarmouth today with both Simba Samba and Molly Mai featuring. Further rain on already heavy ground forced an abundance of absentees, no more so than in the opener where 7 withdrew leaving to 9 to battle things out. Simba Samba was drawn on the far rail. With a headlong gale force wind in front of them which had made ...
Camachess was again the star turn for Team McBride and owners The Narc Partnership when she put her rivals to the sword for a 5 timer in the CL5 6F handicap at a soaking wet Yarmouth on Wednesday. With a stalls refusal by Lucky Charm and 4 withdrawals due to soft ground which was pronounced heavy prior to the off, Camachess picked herself through th ...
Blausee stepped up from her promising 6F debut run at Newmarket last month with a super 2nd place behind the extremely impressive Romsey in a 7F Maiden Auction Fillies Stakes at Chelmsford on Saturday. Poorly drawn in Stall 9 Jockey Danny Brock dropped her in behind before easing her into the race switching to the stand rail. She then made good prog ...
Sparkling Diamond returned to action after her debut run at Newmarket last month and put in a promising performance finishing 7 1/4L 7th of 14 runners in a CL4 6F Novice Stakes at Chelmsford on Wednesday. She, along with the others, was put to the sword by impressive debutant Above, who despite being drawn widest, dominated the field from the start ...
