A relatively quiet time runners wise as we are just gearing up with the jumpers, some of which will be ready to run in about 10 days time. We have had a couple of nice winners in Alakhan and even Stevie Gee consented to put his head in front. But the highlight was Stevie Thunder's gallant 2nd in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on Saturday. Drawn on the wrong side of the track he still managed a career best effort to finish 2nd in one of the biggest handicaps of the year. We can now look forward to the other big Autumn handicap, The Cesarewitch (8th October), where we hope for a bold showing from Gifted Leader.

Ian Williams Racing Open Day
Last weekend saw Dominion Stables open its doors to welcome faces old and new to our Open Day on Sunday 4th.
After the threat of rain the weather was kind and those invited all enjoyed meeting the horses and staff and taking a behind the scenes look from a farrier demonstration to the horses working on the gallops. After lunch, with the sun shining, Ian and Kevin talked the guests through the parade of horses.
There was also something for the kids (and big kids, Ian!) with the bucking brono ride! (Photo to follow!)
