We’re still a bit numb and sending our love to Katie and Abby who rode her at home.

One of our greatest ever achievements!

Thaki got back safe and sound last night.
What a boy.
What a trainer
@K_scottracing
is.
Five grand purchase; three wins and six places in little over a year - as well as getting owners to the track 22 times.
And here they are!
Our heroes Kath’s Toyboy and Champagne Sarah had a night away from home after their wins.
But they’re up early and ready to head back now - both feeling chuffed to bits.

@K_scottracing
It wasn’t to be for The Queen today.
Candescence suffered a nasty cut, hence why she wasn’t seen to her best.
