EPSOM SALTS WINS AT EPSOM
03/07/2009
Last night at the first of Epsom Downs Racecourse's 2009 evening meetings, EPSOM SALTS was awarded best turned out and went on to win the 1 mile 4 furlong opener. Ridden well by Jack Dean on his first ride at the Epsom course he fnished 2 1/4 lengths clear of his rivals. Having hit the board with a number of recent runners,last night we hit the bulls eye! We have won "best turned out" 3 times recently and this is a credit to the staff at Ermyn Lodge. DO MORE BUSINESS our other runner came from a difficult draw and was not suited to the undulations of the course and while briefly showed, weakened in the last furlong.
SUPER DUPLEX EPSOM 9TH JULY
13/07/2009
Super Duplex ran a good race to finish 3rd in a very competetive Maiden. He will now be stepped up to 7 furlongs and will most likely try to win a Maiden before going on to Handicap company.
TECKTAL, RUN FOR EDES
13/07/2009
EPSOM 9TH JULY 2009
Tecktal ran a very good race at Epsom, her first run after a break. However, Run for Edes experienced no look in running and was a fast finishing 3rd.
RUN FOR EDES ASCOT 10TH JULY 2009
13/07/2009
Because of the slow pace at Epsom she was not fully extended. On Friday morning she pulled out in good fettle and it was decided by the connections to go for the race at Ascot. After a fast pace was set by Robby Bobby, which suited her, she came from a long way back to win under a strong drive from apprentice Jack Dean. She will run again at Epsom on 16th July.

RUN FOR EDE'S WINS
17/07/2009
Run for Ede's coninues her good form and won convincingly at Epsom on Thursday 16th July. last into the straight she was pulled wide of a tightly packed field to lead well in the last furlong and held on to win despite a Stewards enquiry which she never looked like losing. She will be rested for approximately 14 days and we will try to find a better class race over 1 mile 4 or 1 mile 6 furlongs.

LAST WEEK'S ACTION
27/07/2009
Epsom 23rd July: LEADENHALL LASS ran well in defeat and we shall be looking to run her over 6 furlongs in the near future. TECKTAL just got touched off by 3/4 of a length and she is entered again this Thursday 30th July at Epsom in the Apprentice Race. YOUNG DOTTIE missed the break and although running on at the finish was hanging badly with the camber of the track and may not be suited with the conditions. Ascot Sunday 26th July: RUN FOR EDE'S was 4th, beaten 2 lengths, in a hotly contested £25000.00 handicap. Not getting a clear run throughout the race a gap opened at the 3 furlong marker and she finished strongly and continues to improve.
