Worthy Winners!

Since our last newsletter a few weeks ago we have had two very special wins.

The first was Sonny Mullen at Uttoxeter, who was our first winner for new owners Clive Washbourn and Simon Murray. We bought Sonny Mullen from Doncaster Sales in August having won a bumper at Market Rasen by 25 lengths.  He was 2nd in his first race for us at Haydock but we knew he was better than that and would definitely win for us.

Sonny Mullen beat Son Histoire of Philip Hobbs' by half a length but they both pulled away clear from the rest of the field by 17 lengths.

The second of our special winners was for the Dream Makers Partnership with Double Mead. Double Mead has had 16 months off with leg problems so to get her back on the course was an achievement in itself let alone to win.  Double Mead has been a very successful mare for the Dream Makers Partnership and has been in the first four eleven times from fourteen runs. 

Dream Makers is a partnership that was set up to raise funds for the Spinal Injuries Association and with horses like Double Mead they really do help to give money to an extremely worthwhile charity.

The Heroes Partnership

I am delighted to be able to invite you to join The Heroes Partnership which I have organised to raise money for the forces charity Help for Heroes. I was made aware of the plight of the injured when former amateur jockey and friend, Guy Disney, lost his foot and the lower part of his leg in Helmand Province earlier this year.

The partnership will be made up of a minimum of 63 shares and a maximum of 100 at a cost of £5,000 per share.  The first £1,000 of each share will go directly to Help for Heroes and the rest will be used to purchase the horses, cover training fees, insurance and all additional expenses. 

We have bought two horses so far for the partnership, they are Eastern Supreme and Behindcloseddoors. They have both won bumpers impressively this year and were picked out by Aidan Murphy at the recent Doncaster Bloodstock Sales.  The partnership will run until May 2011 when the horses will be sold at the Doncaster Bloodstock sales and all proceeds will be divided equally between all the shareholders.  The partnership will also donate 100% of the prize money to the charity; I will also be donating the first £5,000 of my prize money to Help for Heroes.
