A December to Remember

Nick Scholfield • January 9, 2026

The gift that kept on gifting.

December proved to be a hugely exciting month for the yard, capped off in the most special way by St Irene, who delivered her second career win, the yard’s fourth winner, and — incredibly — our first Listed victory. A moment none of us will forget, and quite the Christmas present for everyone involved.


St Irene wasn’t the only one to get her head in front during a memorable festive period. Morning Mayhem crossed the line first at Uttoxeter, expertly piloted by Kielan Woods, kicking off a fantastic run of results. Queenie St Claire followed suit with a determined win at Wincanton under Freddie Keighley, before Bollin Thou rounded things off in style, storming home at Uttoxeter with Sean Bowen in the saddle.

To enjoy multiple winners in December — across different tracks, jockeys, and races — was incredibly rewarding and a real testament to the hard work of the team, the patience of our owners, and the quality of horses in the yard.


We head into the New Year with momentum, confidence, and plenty to look forward to.
