For the second successive Saturday we have had a winner from a mare by Saint des Saints.

Sainte Ladylime obliged in the 1.25p.m. at Uttoxeter today, getting an excellent ride from Sean Bowen.

Up to now she has been let down by indifferent jumping, but the longer distance and softer ground was just what she required, giving her more time to sort out her jumping.

We purchased her as a yearling, the following year she was broken in, and ridden away before being bought by Paul And Clare Rooney.

Our homebred filly STRIKE THE POSE won on her debut in the 15h45 at Kelso today.

By top sire SAINT DES SAINTS & out of our broodmare ROYALE SULAWESIE, she was broken in & pre-trained at home then did a stint with Philip & Louisa Carberry. We decided to lease her to James Ewart’s Craig farm syndicate, as the UK programe would suit her better.

Great to see ARISTO DU PLESSIS making all the running to win at Wetherby today. He has been plagued with injuries recently, let’s hope he can build on this to get back to his best again. Great training performance by James Ewart.
