Very Sad News

Saturday, 01 June 2024

Last night we received the shocking news that Peter Sakal, well known as an enthusiastic member of many of our syndicates, had tragically died unexpectedly.  Peter originally had horses with us in the late 90s, owning Scottish Sprint Cup winner Boanerges, and more recently his colours have been carried to 10 victories by his favourite horse Aramis Grey, owned by the Musketeers.  Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.    

Positive Return for Divina Grace - The Top Hat and Tails Syndicate

Friday, 24 May 2024

Divina Grace had her first run of the year at Goodwood on Friday 24th May.  She ran positively being in touch with the leaders 2f out, stayed on and passed the post to take third place.

There were 11 runners and she was drawn 10, with Darragh Keenan taking the ride.

Lots to look forward to for The Top Hat and Tails Syndicate and Chestnut Tree Stables with this filly for the season.

A Win For the Raffles Syndicate

Monday, 20 May 2024

A super first win for Raffles Angel and the Raffles Syndicate at Ripon under Darragh Keenan on Sunday 19th May.

She was drawn 8 of 14 runners and made a good start, leading from 2f out and kept on well to win.

The syndicate have been waiting very patiently for their horses to run and this was the first time their colours have been used. 

Congratulations to all connections and the team at Chestnut Tree Stables.
