Beechwood Donna made a big impression to land the spoils on debut at Beverley‘s Friday 17th of July meeting!

The Hot Streak filly broke smartly to take the early lead under Tom Eaves and with two furlongs to go Tom sent her 2 lengths clear; she was not for catching and the lead only lengthened as the filly won by a comfortable 3 and 3/4 lengths!

Well done to all her owners on your success, this is just the beginning for the filly you’d have thought! Thank you and well done to Kevin Ryan, Tom Eaves and all the team at the yard!

This filly won a plus 10 / 20 k Great British Bonus prize , a fantastic new initiative from Weatherby’s. (www.greatbritishbonus.co.uk)

She was purchased by Kevin Ryan and the Ontoawinner buying team at the 2019 Goffs Premier Yearling Sale for £17,000, she looks well bought!

Well done again to connections on your success, hopefully it’s onwards and upwards from here!

Champagne Terri landed the spoils in the final race at Ayr yesterday to cap off a memorable day for Ontoawinner.

She brought up our first ever treble and we also celebrated our first win at Bath which means we have now had a winner at every flat course in the UK, a day of milestones!
Corinthia Knight opened our account at Bath under Hollie Doyle, winning his 12th career race.

One of our newest recruits, the Adrian Keatley trained Queen of Rio, by Prince of Lir followed Corinthia and made her debut a winning one at Ripon. She was green but showed tremendous attitude to win under Martin Harley.

Champagne Terri brought up the treble under a lovely ride from Ben Curtis. They went a good pace and she hit the front and wasn’t stopping. An across the card double for Adrian Keatley and a treble on the day for the Yellow & Whites. Dreamland!

Corinthia Knight won well at Bath today under a masterful ride from Hollie Doyle. Drawn wide in stall 9, he was well away from the stalls to go into a share of the lead at the first bend.

Racing prominently throughout, Hollie asked Corinthia to go on at the 2 marker and he responded in game fashion to go into the lead. He repelled all late challengers to go on to score by a neck from the fast finishing Big Lachie who is trained by Mark Loughnane.

That was Corinthia Knights 12th success, a remarkable achievement from the 5-year-old son of Society Rock. This is a horse that placed 4th at the Breeders Cup, was 3-year-old all-weather sprint champion in 2018 and has taken his owners to Royal Ascot, France, Canada and also won a listed race in Sweden.

Huge credit must go to Archie and all of the team at Saxon Gate. That was Archies 23rd for us and Hollies 6th, long may it continue.

The win brought up another significant milestone for Ontoawinner. We have now had a winner at every flat course in the UK. Bath was the last course on the list for some time. We have now registered 217 winners since we formed in 2011 and had some fantastic times along the way. We move on and look forward to ticking many more milestones off the list.

Star Of Emaraaty proved she is a filly with a bright future after she made all to seal victory at Ayr‘s Monday 13th of July meeting!

The Pride Of Dubai filly broke smartly to take the early lead and Kevin Stott decided he would let the filly bowl along out the front, it was a good decision as Star Of Emaraaty would fend off all challengers gamely from the front to make all, sealing the victory by a neck!

Well done to all her owners on your success, this is just the beginning for the filly you’d have thought! Thank you and well done to Kevin Ryan, Kevin Stott and all the team at the yard!

Star Of Emaraaty was purchased privately by the Ontoawinner buying team prior to the postponed breeze-up sales, she looks well bought!

She was the first winner for Pride of Dubai in the Northern Hemisphere.

Temper Trap backed up his good 2nd on Monday to win at Musselburgh at their Friday 10th of July meeting!

The Slade Power Gelding settled in behind the pack for most of the race until push came to shove when Temper Trap started to make good headway, as the line approached Temper Trap managed to collar the long time leader to win in a photo by a nose!

Well done to all his owners on your deserved success, patience has been the key to him and hopefully he goes on from here! Thank you and well done to Tim Easterby, David Allan and all the team at Great Habton!

Temper Trap was purchased by Tim Easterby and the Ontoawinner buying team at the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale for £30,000!

Well done again to connections on your deserved success, hopefully this is just the beginning for Temper Trap!

Rishworthian made it 3rd time lucky to score in style at Thirsk’s 6th of July meeting, making good use of the first time visor!

Danny Tudhope was aboard the David O’Meara trained colt for the 6 furlong contest. Breaking sharply, Danny settled Rishworthian just behind the leaders in the early stages of the race. As the race started to unfold Danny moved Rishworthian to the outside to make his challenge, it was soon clear Rishworthian would be in the shake up and he hit the front and stayed on nicely to win by 3/4 of a length!

Well done to all his owners on your success, he has finally shown what he does at home on the track and looks to have nice future! Thank you and well done to David O’Meara, Danny Tudhope and everyone at the yard!

Rishworthian was purchased by Jason Kelly and the Ontoawinner buying team at the Goffs Sportsman Sale for €8,500!

Well done again to connections on your success!

The David O’Meara trained My Best Friend lined up today in the opener at Hamilton. Danny Tudhope was aboard the son of Gutaifan for his second run.

He was purchased at the Doncaster Premier sales and had made a pleasing debut at Thisk before tiring late on in the race.

He was sent off 13/8 fav for todays race with conditions testing for these young horses. Breaking smartly, Danny took up the running in the early stages of the contest. The Mark Johnson trained Better By far mounted a challenge 2 furlongs out but our horse showed a very good attitude to put his head down and score by over a length.

It was a very nice performance on the heaviest part of the track and he will improve for this run.

He is a nice type, we still have a few shares available: www.ontoawinner.net/syndicate/gutaifan-colt

We had another couple of 2 year old runners today – Tuesday 16^th June.

First up was the David O’Meara trained My Best Friend who was making his racecourse debut in the opener at Thirsk over 7 furlongs. Ridden by David Nolan, he was a bit awkward leaving the stalls but David bustled him up to sit 2^nd off the favourite. He travelled very well throughout but paid the price late on for taking on the winner when he tired to finish 5^th. It was a very pleasing debut and David was complimentary about the horse saying that he could easily drop back to 6 furlongs if needed.

Merry Secret was making his second start for Tom Ward at Windsor. He was drawn in 1 for the 6 furlong race with Rob Hornby taking the mount. He was settled in mid division on the rail for the most part. As the leaders kicked for home, Rob switched Merry Secret out and he began to make good headway to finish a close up 4^th. This was a difficult race on paper with some nicely bred horses. Merry Secret performed well and will have easier tasks ahead. Well done to both sets of owners.

War Of Clans kicked off his 3 year old campaign in style at Doncaster’s 13th of June meeting by winning with a game performance to give us our first winner since racing resumed, a welcome success after five placed efforts this week!

The Ivawood gelding broke smartly from the stalls to set the fractions from the front. As the race unfolded War Of Clans started to stay on. The dangers started to make their move but War Of Clans was not to be denied and battled gamely to the line to win on seasonal debut by 1/2 a length!

Well done to all his owners on your deserved success, he has plenty of heart for sure! Thank you and well done to Karl Burke, Harrison Shaw and all the team at Spigot Lodge!

War of Clans was purchased at Goffs Silver Sale for 18,000 by Karl Burke and the Ontoawinner buying team!

Well done again to connections on your success, he has plenty of heart and hopefully this is the beginning of a good season!

We had a couple of really nice 2 year olds making their debut’s yesterday in the shape of the Karl Burke trained Miss Milby and the Michael Bell trained Tenth Century.

Miss Milby was 1st up running at Beverley, Clifford Lee was aboard for her racecourse debut. She had a terrible draw in stall 10, in the early stages of the race she had to settle at the rear of the main field. The three horses at the head of affairs broke away from the rest of the field and Cliff started to get Miss Milby rolling. They made headway passing horses on her inside. Just over a furlong out the leaders started to tire and Miss Milby came to through with the favourite at the head of affairs. Inside the final furlong it was nip and tuck but as the favourite drifted across taking Miss Milby further towards the nearside it edged ahead and although Miss Milby kept going to the line but she had to settle for second place, beaten a neck. A cracking debut for her owners.

Tenth Century was up next at Lingfield with Kieran Shoemark taking the ride. He is a very recent addition to the Ontoawinner string. He was well away from the stalls and led in the early stages of the contest. He and the favourite had a bit of a battle for the early lead. He took the turn for home very well and found himself a length in front. Into the home straight TC edged ahead and looked to have that rival covered when he just started to get tired and drifted off the rail which then allowed the horse with experience who had stalked the pair to come with a run up TC’s inside. TC was headed with fifty yards to spare and although he kept going to the line, he had to settle for second place, beaten just half a length. A great debut and all being ok, he how heads to Royal Ascot. We have limited shares available – www.ontoawinner.net/syndicate/tenth-century
