Karl Burke update on War of Clans – Ivawood Colt – March 2019
“The Ivawood is very forward as we thought he was so we have cracked on with him, he will be one of my first 2-year-old runners of the season. This colt has a race pencilled in for Musselburgh in early April and he is being readied for that. He works well at home with some class, he is showing plenty and should be winning races for the next few seasons as he is not just a 2-year-old. I couldn’t be happier with him and I think he is another cracking addition to the successful string we have had over the years and am very much looking forward to seeing him hit the track”.
Karl Burke update on Ladyley’s Beluga, Showcasing Filly – March 2019
“She has done incredibly well in the last month and has gone from being a filly who didn’t show us too much on the gallops to one that has been scorching them. She’s done some very nice gallops and has moved up to the top of the pecking order based on her recent work. I’m sure we will see some more improvement and I think she is very capable of winning races at 2. She is a typical Showcasing and just gets on with the job and wants to please”.
Bryan Smart update on Chocoholic – Due Diligence Colt – March 2019
“I am absolutely delighted with this colt, he really wants to impress and does impress in his work. He has been working with older horses and has stayed with them and is very tough, he shows that will to win you need even at home on the gallops. Don’t hesitate to ask Ontowinner to visit our yard to see him work yourself and I am sure you would be as impressed as I am with him. I see him as a late April runner at this stage, but he is scopey and should grow into a lovely 3-year-old too. I am very happy with this colt, he has a great mind and shows plenty to show he is good enough already to win a maiden. Please don’t hesitate to ask to come and see him, he looks a picture”.
Keith Dalgleish update on River of Kings – Kodiac Colt – March 2019
“The Kodiac colt has continued to impress me, he works well and is very forward. He is being readied to start in April as soon as the maidens start to flow in the season and from what I have already seen, he should be up to at least winning a maiden. He takes after the sire well, he is what you would expect a typical Kodiac to be like which is a huge positive. He looks the part around the yard and works well, he would improve any string and as I mentioned before I feel lucky we managed to get him at Goffs as I thought he would go for much more than what we paid; having had him with me for 6 months I still feel we have stolen him for the money. Anyone wanting to see him is most welcome at the yard, I’m sure you would be impressed with him”.
Tim Easterby update on Temper Trap, Slade Power Colt – March 2019
“He has really started to come to hand and he’s really pleasing me. He was a little bit behind in his coat and he just had a small set back which held us up a bit. He’s done some nice bits of work in the last fortnight and he looks to have a big engine. I’d like to think he will win races as he does everything very easily and for a big horse is very forward going. I’d expect he will be a 5 or 6-furlong horse as he is very speedily bred horse”.
Richard Fahey update on Unnamed Outstrip Colt – March 2019
“He is a lovely big horse who has done well since he came into the yard. He does everything very easily and just wants to please. He has a lovely big long stride on him, and he eats up the ground. I’ve been very impressed with his attitude and with the ease of how he does his work. He’s likely to need at least 6 furlongs so I wouldn’t expect we will see him on the racecourse until May time. I’d be very surprised if this lad wasn’t winning races this year at a good level”.
Richard Fahey update on Mr Gus – Slade Power Colt – March 2019
“He looks to be very forward and has done plenty of work to suggest he will be running early in the flat season. He’s worked in good groups of horses and certainly held his own in the gallops. He does everything very easily and just loves to get on with his work. He’s from a very quick family. He’s another horse in my string who I’d be expecting to be winning this year as a 2-year-old. He looks a nice prospect”.

Ontoawinner Early Closing entries to date
Made of Honour ran in the Ladbrokes Home of The Odds/Boost Class 3 Fillies Handicap over 7 furlongs at Lingfield with Clifford Lee taking the mount on the Karl Burke-trained filly.
She opened at a price of 7/2 on the eve of the race but there was a little bit of support in the betting markets seeing her sent off at 100/30
She was drawn in stall 4 for the 4 runner event. After breaking smartly, Clifford was happy to settle her in behind the front running Side Effect trained by the in form Mick Appleby.
Entering the straight and the 2-furlong pole, Clifford set about reeling the leader in. In full drive position, Clifford galvanised Made of Honour and ate up the lead to take it up a furlong out to win by a cosy 1 ¼ lengths. It was a fantastic performance from both horse and jockey on the day and a fantastic success for her owners.
A welcome change of luck for Nikki Hazel Made of Honour’s usual groom after she had a very nasty fall 2 weeks ago and we wish her well on her long recovery mission.
Made of Honour brought up our 4th winner of the year in as many weeks. A fantastic start for our loyal owners who have a lot to look forward to in 2019.
We are delighted that one of our youngest owners – Adam Burton, aged 14 has written a guest blog on Suitcase N Taxi
Suitcase N Taxi was a fairly cheap purchase for Ontoawinner and has been a gift that has kept on giving. He is a horse who has won over £25,000 in prize money and has given his owners a great day out on multiple occasions.
He is trained by Tim Easterby who is based in Malton and is renowned for keeping horses winning and most importantly wanting to win.
Suitcase N Taxi is a horse with great character and personality and is perfect for anyone who has a hobby of horse racing and you can fall in love with him at ease. He is certain to win races every year and give his owners a great day he won twice last year both days winning well.
He won the Thursby handicap at Carlisle beating Only Spoofing who has recently been rated in the high 70’s/low 80’s, he won by 1 and a half lengths that day. He then ran at York finishing 6th and beating home some nice horses that day, York is a track at the highest level and it’s always a pleasure to run there.
After York he won the John Hopkinson memorial race at Thirsk, a track that isn’t ran to suit him but he was game and he beat home Canford Bay who has won since and beat a very smart Royal Brave who has since gone on to beat our high class sprinter Staxton who is currently rated in the 101 with a highest rating 103.
Suitcase N Taxi has beaten one of Ontoawinners ex horses – Castle Hill Cassie who won the flying fillies stakes listed race at Pontefract. He also beat top sprinter – Intense Romance who has won dual listed races since Suitcase N Taxi and the filly clashed.
After Thirsk suitcase n taxi had an issue with the stalls which is out of character for him and shocked everyone involved. Tim has experimented with things at home and he is once again showing great attitude and is leading the two year olds at home and is a perfect role model.
With the issue seemingly over, he has a good chance of leaving his owners with a hand rubbing season, packed with amazing experiences.

The Ollie Pears trained Dandy Highwayman headed to Newcastle on Thursday evening to run in the 6-furlong Handicap. He was drawn in stall 9 and Harry Russell rode.
Dandy broke smartly from the stalls and travelled nicely for the first 4 furlongs just off the front running Camanche Grey. At the 2-furlong pole, Harry gave Dandy a kick in the belly and Dandy picked up immediately and quickly put a length between him and the closing pack. In the final 200 yards, the hot 9/4 favourite Ken’s Sam’s came upside Dandy, but Dandy put his head down and battled all the way to the line to win by a head.
On returning to the winner’s enclosure Harry was clearly delighted and reported that Dandy had loved the race and travelled superbly well and that he was tough and so genuine. Ollie was also delighted and felt he had started to see Dandy returning to his previous best and was gaining confidence with each run.
We are delighted with Dandy Highwayman as he looks to be a lot happier now and looks to be improving. We do have some limited shares remaining in this winning horse. http://www.ontoawinner.net/syndic…/dandy-man-x-paradise-blue
After a record breaking season in 2018 with 46 winners it didn’t take us long to get onto the scoreboard for 2019. The year is only just over two weeks old but our horses have started the season in good form with two winners, one second and a third placed runner already.
Winners – Made Of Honour & Pearl Acclaim
Made Of Honour is a filly with lots of ability and she showed great guts and determination to win at Newcastle on the 6th when under a power packed ride from Clifford Lee she got up in the shadows of the post to win by a short head. Trained by Karl Burke this filly came second to Group 1 winner Benbatl on her debut.
Pearl Acclaim had a very frightening episode in the stalls at Nottingham in October and it has taken a few runs to get his confidence back. Stepping up to six furlongs nine year old Pearl Acclaim showed a willing attitude under the guidance of up and coming jockey Phil Dennis to win by half a length. Pearl Acclaim has now won five times in the Ontoawinner colours since he was purchased and David Griffiths has done magnificent job with him.
Other runners already placed this year have been Mardle who came second in a competitive and valuable handicap at Newcastle, Mardle had previous won over course and distance, he gave it a good go but just found one to good on the day. He looks a nice prospect for the season ahead. Comptons Finale came over from the Adrian Keatley stables in Ireland, he gave it a good go running well finishing third to two nice horses in the six furlong novice race, he might come back over to the UK later in the month.
This time of year is such an exciting time with the new two year olds that we purchased last year already now broken in and already completing their first steps in their education. There has been lots of positive comments regarding our horses wellbeing and progression from our trainers up and down the country and we look to have the strongest team we have ever had ready to go to the races with in 2019.
February is a busy period with plenty of stable visits, these days are a great day to see all our horses, their home environment, meeting other owners and having a drink and some food with the Ontoawinner Team and discussing the season ahead. If you would like to attend one of these stable visits please get in touch with one of the Ontoawinner Management Team.
Shares are selling out fast with lots of the new two tear olds sold out already, however there are limited shares left in a few horses and anyone interested in race horse ownership should view our available shares section.
Pearl Acclaim, our grand 9-year-old gelding returned to Southwell today to take his chance in the 6 Furlong Sprint Handicap. Trained by the inform David Griffiths, he was ridden by Phil Dennis who claims 3lb.
Pearl broke superbly well from his wide draw (stall 10) and was soon on the heels of the front running Jazz Legend and Alligator. Phil had Pearl travelling well until the 2-furlong pole, he kicked Pearl in the belly and Pearl responded well, taking up the running and leading all the way to the line to win by ½ length.
A fantastic performance from the old boy who still shows his love for the game. We are delighted for his loyal owners. That was winner number 2 of 2019 for Ontoawinner. Check out his profile as we have limited shares remaining in this gelding : www.ontoawinner.net/syndicate/pearl-acclaim
