INEXPLICABLE
LUCKY LODGE
DRAKEFELL
SLOWMO
A good day at Southwell on Thursday with our second double of the past week.
DAAFR gamely defied a double penalty to win for the 3rd time in ten days. He is unbeaten in a visor and on the Southwell Fibresand surface.
QAARAAT ran really well on Tuesday and gained deserved compensation when landing the closing race on the card. He’s a tough sprinter.
We are now on 9 winners for January and 2021
We are going ahead with the double header at Newcastle and Southwell on Thursday.
VAN DIJK aims to follow up his win from Saturday back at Newcastle and is joined by TRAVELLER & ONE ONE SEVEN who have also won races here previously.
DAAFR attempts a quick Southwell hatrick and is joined by in form QAARAAT who just failed on Tuesday and the enigmatic THAWRY.
Our next entries are then at Wolverhampton on Monday.
DAAFR returned to Southwell following his comfortable course and distance win of last week and made all to complete the double in good style.
He is declared again for the 2.15pm race on Thursday where he will have a further 5lbs penalty and will race over the extra furlong of a mile for his hatrick bid.
Southwell have added an extra meeting on Tuesday and we take the opportunity to participate with 4 runners.
These include our recent course winners QAARAAT & DAAFR and are joined by DRAKEFELL who runs well here and INTERNATIONAL LAW having his first run on the surface.
Our next entries are then on Thursday with a possible Newcastle/Southwell double header. The entries page of the main website has links to all the details.
A good day on Saturday for the yard, winning both the Newcastle races we contested.
VAN DIJK won his second race of the year, racing in his usual enigmatic style. See photos of his win and Harry Russell below.

SPARTAN FIGHTER won his race nicely, having made most before keeping on gamely. There is a similar photo link from his race below.

We send another 4 runners to Newcastle on Saturday, including 3 in the Apprentice Handicap:
SPARTAN FIGHTER
MUTABAAHY
LUCKY LODGE
VAN DIJK makes a quick reappearance in the 0-50 Classified event earlier on the card.
We send 4 runners to Newcastle on Thursday for the two sprint handicaps at 7.00pm & 7.30pm.
TATHMEEN & LUCKY LODGE are the first to go. Lucky Lodge is still going strong at the age of 11. We hope he can maintain his record and win another race or races in 2021.
MONDAMMEJ makes his handicap debut off a mark of 82 and is joined by KLOPP.
Our next entries are then at Newcastle on Saturday
DAAFR won comfortably at Southwell on Tuesday night, seemingly taking well to the surface which is always a big plus at the track. The first time visor also appeared to have the desired effect and could win again around there
if similarly minded.
He was our 4th winner for January and the horses continue to run well.
We send ONE ONE SEVEN & INTERNATIONAL LAW down to Wolverhampton today and both have very good records at the track.
Tomorrow we will give ANOTHER ANGEL & DAAFR a try at Southwell.
VAN DIJK is declared for Southwell on Wednesday having only narrowly failed to peg back the winner and land a double on Friday.
