  • EB42 a Short History of Findon and the Racehorse
    A short history of Findon and the racehorse 1 At the start of the 19C race meetings were held on the downland gallops below Blackpatch Hill at the western edge of Findon parish, the course being known as Michel Grove (an estate mainly in the neighbouring Clapham and Patching parishes). Later in the century race meetings were held on the gallops below West Hill at the south west end of Findon parish. In the 19C horse racing featured much more in ordinary rural life than it does today, as the horse was still vital to agricultural activities and local transport. Knowledge of race horses in training was wide and racing was keenly followed as a sport and an opportunity for social gatherings, Race meetings were also being held on the downs at Lewes at this time and on the downs at Goodwood and Brighton in Sussex which still hold meetings today, like Epsom, Ascot, Sandown and Lingfield in Surrey. Fontwell and Plumpton in Sussex still hold regular national hunt race meetings over hurdles and fences while the race meetings at Newbury in Berkshire and Cheltenham attract the highest quality national hunt horses. Around 1853-1854 Henry Padwick, a well known member of the Danebury ‘Confederacy’, a very successful group of individuals that sent out many ‘Classic’ winners from the racing stables at Danebury, near Stockbridge racecourse in Hampshire, built new brick and flint stables and a trainer’s house, at the top of Stable Lane, Findon on the site of a cottage and outbuildings which appear on the 1839 Tithe Map.

    The Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale will take place this year alongside racing on the Friday of the Cheltenham International Meeting and incorporates the NH Breeze Up.

Catering is available on site in the Tattersalls marquee and hospitality is available to clients in the Tattersalls Sales arena. The Breeze Up will be restricted approximately 30 horses with the breeze itself taking place before racing on the morning of the December Sale. The breeze up will be recorded and available online to view and clients will be able to attend and view the breeze live prior to racing. The highest price paid for a breeze up horse in 2017 was £115,000 when Neil Mulholland signed for a Germany filly from the family of Supreme Prince & Supreme Serenade consigned by Meadowview Stables. Tiger Roll winner of the 2018 Grand National for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud is a graduate of the December Sale having been sold for £80,000 by Nigel Hawke at the 2013 renewal to the owners Gigginstown.

    TM smarterinsight Grand National Tips 17th March, 2016 Confidential. Copyright © 2016. All rights reserved . 1 | P a g e 2016 Grand National Tips Spring got off to a great start with an early Easter and brighter evenings and it also means it’s time for QED’s Grand National tips! For those of you in a hurry, my tips are at the end of this article. Disclaimer - I have not enjoyed great Grand National success over the years, but that won't stop me from sharing my tips and tactics with you. But, before we get into the euphoria of all that, you would be disappointed if I did not throw in a few ‘risk warnings’: Risk warnings Tipping horses is not an activity regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Betting on a horse is a gamble not an investment. A bit like high tech stocks on P/E ratios of 200 plus in 2000. I have no qualifications or expertise in horse racing and my past performance is no indication of future performance (which is a good thing?). What goes up might come down and not get up again. Especially over Becher’s Brook. Only bet for fun and with an amount you would be happy to lose. If you want decent long term returns send your money to QED not Ladbrokes. Your relationship might be at risk if you don’t place your partner’s (or boss’!) winning bet. A word on Efficient Markets … In an efficient market the price contains all the known information. If new information arrives it can change the price.

  • TT 13 Day 19 Tiger Roll Finished Fourth, Not in the Grand National but In
    TT 13 Day 19 really could have emulated Red Rum’s hat trick of wins in 1973, 1974 and 1977. The Tiger Roll finished fourth, not in the Grand Guvnor remembers these years not just for National but in cyberspace. This was all that; he was with his Regiment in Ireland in about there being no sport of any kind each of those years and recalls how quiet during the CV crisis, so wizards have to put things were, albeit just for a day. Many their minds towards finding other ways of Irish people were in Liverpool and even the making money. If that sounds a bit cynical IRA was glued to TV sets, so the Army and it is the truth of the matter but, at least, the Police had some respite. He also recalls some of it will go to charity – and the NHS his son being born while he was patrolling particularly. I like watching horse racing in the Turf Lodge in West Belfast, and the much the same way as I sit rapt in front of Queen’s Silver Jubilee being celebrated by Crufts, Blue Planet and sledges being all, bar the Republicans. If we are back to pulled by eager huskies in the wild north of ‘normal’, whatever that is, in 2021, the real Canada, but this was something different. result may be surprising - like those of this It did, indeed, look like a video game but a year’s exams and any other ‘estimate’ in highly realistic one at that. Cleverly ‘fixed’ these strange times.
