NOVEMBER & DECEMBER REVIEW
We added four winners to our tally across November and December, finishing with a quieter couple of months at the end of what has been an exceptional year. We finished third in the Trainers’ Championship, and were the winning-most yard for the second time in succession with 192 winners, in doing so recording our best-ever prize-money total of over £7 million.
Berkshire Sundance has been lightly-raced in the past couple of seasons, but he made it four wins from his last six starts when scoring at Kempton Park in the hands of Oisin Murphy. A 4lbs rise looks manageable and hopefully he can make a bold bid to follow up.
Stateira made all the running at Newcastle to win in great style under Will Carver, and ran very well in defeat off an 8lbs higher mark on her next outing at Southwell. She is very much going the right way and should continue to progress.
All Moonshine looked a filly to follow when scooting clear of her field in a 7f maiden at Southwell under Jason Watson. The well-bred daughter of Oasis Dream has the scope to improve.
Our final two-year-old winner of the year was Crockham Heath, who took a nice step forward on his debut effort at Newmarket with a game front-running success at Southwell under Callum Hutchinson. Out of a Listed performer in France, he should have a successful campaign at three in the year ahead.
