Tragically Beat The Bank suffered a fatal injury after winning the Summer Mile for the second year running. He was such a brave horse and everyone at Kingsclere and King Power are heartbroken. We will remember him forever.
Intransigent retires today. Born and bred at Kingsclere, he won 9 of his 80 races and £285k in prize money. What a star he has been and a wonderful flag-bearer for the Kingsclere Racing Club. He’ll be staying here for a long and happy retirement.
Here Comes When has been retired at the age of nine, what a star he has been. Everyone at Park House will miss him dearly but he will have an incredible retirement. Thanks for all the memories old boy.
"It's one of those moments that will never leave him."

It’s been a great weekend with a couple of winners today and yesterday, as well as plenty of others running really well. We’ve hit the £2m prize money mark for the season, I couldn’t be more proud of the team.

A huge well done to Kevin Hunt and Bradley Harris, who have been shortlisted for the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards, Kev for the Dedication Award and Bradley for the David Nicholson Newcomer Award. Well deserved!

Cleonte out on the gallops on Thursday morning.
He seems in great form and we’re hoping he can get a share of the Ebor’s £1 million prize money!

Dashing Willoughby is the one most likely to run. It doesn't look like there will be enough rain for Morando.
With the jumps season reaching its climax, the flat season is not far away. Do get in touch if you are interested in the partnership below, going to be lots of fun!
