Certainly Kingsclere is historic, its past respected and revered, but it is less a place of yesterday, than of today and the future.

Today we celebrate Pat McGuire’s birthday, the “most experienced” member of the Kingsclere team, who turned 88 years of age today.

Pat began his time in racing with William Huntingdon at West Ilsley until he moved to Kingsclere in 2000 to work for Ian. Pat rode out well into his 60s, as well as breaking in yearlings, and now, is a crucial member of the ground staff team…

Thank you for all you have done Pat, and a very happy birthday 🎂

The past month has epitomised what this wonderful sport means to those involved. The team at Kingsclere have been phenomenal, and have been dually rewarded with three Group 1s by these two special fillies; Kalpana on the left, and Blue Bolt on the right. We are so grateful for the hard work, dedication and bond of this group throughout the year, and we look forward to seeing what else the season has in store.

Thank you to Alice for the photos.

Sunday racing @chesterraces saw the team bring home 3 winners, and 2 seconds for the Kingsclere Racing Club.

An incredible day meant the team have gone 3 winners, and 78 points clear in the Chester Top Trainers table. Well done to everyone Involved 👏

📸 ➡️ @chesterraces

Pure Grit broke his maiden tag in fine style under a front running ride from @oisindmurphy, and for owner Saeed Suhail. Well done to regular rider and groom @viishesh.26 🙌

Simplify showed her class stepping back up to 6f to take the listed Queensferry Stakes, again under @oisindmurphy. Well done to owners Ahmad Alkhallafi and Marc Waters.

A huge well done to Groom @ruth_inman18 who also finished a marvellous 2nd in the Magnolia Cup earlier in the week! A special time 👏

Dance in the Storm got up late in the 7f Handicap under a beautifully worked @oisindmurphy ride from the widest stall. Congratulations to owners and breeder Jeff Smith.

Very well done to Dance in the Storm’s groom @mayamcnelis and regular rider @leaps1979 who have done a wonderful job with her throughout the season!

Let’s go swimming 🏊

The horses benefit massively from using the pool and we are so grateful to have access to such an important facility!

Best of luck to Ruth Inman who rides in today’s Magnolia Cup at Goodwood!

Launched in 2011, this year marks the 15th running of the Magnolia cup with a whopping 3.5 million pounds raised so far for charities supporting women and children.

Such an inspiring event alongside an incredible group of riders. No matter the result everyone at Parkhouse stables is proud!

We will all be cheering you on! Go smash it 💛

On Friday evening we were joined by so many wonderful family and friends of our staff, for an evening of great food, music and laughter.

They were then invited to watch the horses on the gallops on Saturday morning, to get a sense of the hard work the staff put into each horse every day!

A lovely start to a brilliant weekend 🖤💛🖤

Saturdays unbelievable day was topped off with Kalpana but two horses started the day off brilliantly!

ITEM got back to winning ways @yorkraces comfortably taking the @skybet York Stakes Group 2 under @rob.hornby28. Congratulations to owners @juddmonte and groom and regular rider @baz_lewis_.

Moonrise also got back to winning ways after her close effort at Royal Ascot by taking the Princess Margaret Japan Cup stakes Group 3. Congratulations to Owner Mr Ahmed Alkhallafi, groom @gretelh_07 and yard manager @fabry_spec who looks after the yards these two horses are stabled.

As always thank you to all the team who make victories like these possible!

KALPANA IS QUEEN OF ASCOT ONCE MORE ⭐️

What a mare she is. Having finished second in this very race last year, Kalpana took on the boys again and produced the performance of her life, winning the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes for @juddmonte, under a flawless @ctkjockey ride.

A first King George for Andrew and the team, and a special one for Kingsclere, 55 years on from Mill Reef’s famous victory in the same race for Ian Balding in 1971.

None of this could happen without the superb team behind her… A huge well done and thank you to her groom @shann.95, her regular rider @x.tyla.x, and barn manager @barry_stafford94, whose care and hard work every single day made yesterday possible 🙏

Long may this run of spoiling form continue, with Glorious Goodwood this coming week 🤞

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Dylan Holley, a beloved member of the Kingsclere team for 57 years.

Dylan gave his working life to this yard, and to the fullest extent. For as long as any of us can remember, he never took a day off. He served in the army, ran three marathons, and brought that same quiet toughness to Park House every single morning.

Everyone who worked alongside Dylan knew how much he meant to this place, and how much the horses meant to him. He saw Mill Reef conquer in 1971, travelled Grey Shot to the Melbourne Cup in 1996, and was still here to see Blue Bolt win the team’s most recent Group 1. Dylan will leave a hole that can never be filled.

Our thoughts are with his family and all who loved him. Rest well, Dylan. ❤️
