Worcester Winner!

  Mr Tambourine Man winner at Worcester!
On Saturday we had two runners at Worcester. Chemical Warfare was running a great race and looked like he would've won or been placed as he was travelling and jumping well when coming down at the last, thankfully he is all ok and hopefully we can go again with him next time. Mr Tambourine Man ran another solid race from the back of his second last time out to win at Worcester, winning by 6 lengths. It's great to have this horse back in form and long may it continue!

The stable has no runners today and there is no jumps racing today in Britain. Flat cards being scheduled at Ayr, Brighton, Windsor and Wetherby. In Ireland, there is jumps racing at Listowel and a flat card at Gowran Park. 

On Saturday, Epsom held their Derby meeting and the Aidan O'Brien runner City Of Troy soon left the doubters after a downfall run in the guineas as he made an impressive win in the Derby. The win left trainer O'Brien name City Of Troy the greatest horse he and the owners Coolmore have ever had in their care. Aidan O'Brien has won the race a record-extending tenth time and giving the jockey Ryan Moore his fourth Derby win. 

It was announced yesterday that the former Leeds Rhinos rugby player Rob Burrows, passed away at the age of 41 after a long battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Burrows spent his whole playing career with Leeds, became involved in horse racing and had a number of horses - including Burrow Seven and Beep Beep Burrow who were named in his honour as part of fundraising efforts. He also had a racing club named after him with the Craig Lidster trained Macarone winning two of his starts under the banner. His Heroic battle with the disease touched the whole nation and he named patron of The Good Racing Company which has raised funds for Burrows and MND charities by selling memberships to his racing club. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

On Saturday evening held the UEFA Champions League final and Real Madrid were up against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium. Real Madrid took the victory winning 2-0 and the team have won the Champions League five times in the past 10 years!
