Weβve had two winners today. But theyβll be no cheer on the yard tonight. What a brilliant, talented, great horse Midnight Shadow was. A legend in his own right and a stable superstar. Give your horses an extra cuddle tonight because you never know. Rest easy Midnight β€οΈ.
Its Official. Vintage Clouds has retired. Its the end of a Vintage Era. What a wonderful servant hes been to his owner Trevor Hemmings, to us
@suesmithracing
and all those whoβve ridden him, in races and at home. Weβre all so proud of all he has been able to achieve.

Must say Thankyou for all the support regarding vintage clouds winning today. Twitter has gone mad today. Hopefully it keeps northern racing in the spot light and keeps fresh faces getting in contact regarding horse to train in the yard. Nice Saturday winners are always good π
While weβre all riding high on the euphoria of a

winner, hereβs a shameless sales pitch. If youβve ever thought about owning a horse or youβre already an owner and fancy another one, horses are available for next season. Dm or email for details

Racing is a game of highs and lows, Seven Arches winning on debut couldnβt make up for the sad news earlier in the day that Minella Fiveo didnβt make it. A huge loss to the yard to lose such a lovely horse who always gave his all. He will be missed by all who loved him.
