Friday nineteenth January, 2024 – Richard Phillips Racing

Rossbeigh Strand travelled strongly up with the leaders sooner than turning for house at Southwell on Wednesday, when sadly as soon as once more his wind factor perceived to prevent him.  The bottom was once slightly sticky and we will be able to now search for some higher floor to run him on within the hope that this permits him to respire higher as he undoubtably has quite a few talent. He seems to be each inch a chaser and we will be able to college him over fences and he’s going to most likely cross chasing on his subsequent run.

Very unhappy information this week that our nice good friend and mentor Peter Deal has kicked the bucket on the age of 84.  I doubt if I’ve ever identified someone have a extra pleasing existence than Peter who I’ve identified for 4 a long time.

He owned the primary horse I sorted in racing referred to as Border Solar who turned into a legend within the point-to-point box.  We hunted, staff chased, performed cricket, golfing, laughed and shared many atypical studies in combination.  He was once a beneficiant gentleman who all the time knew that the most efficient issues in existence had been both unfastened, or now not that dear.  He cherished the geographical region and all of the particular characters that went with it.  Peter has left a long-lasting influence on many of us and he’s going to be endlessly fondly remembered as any individual who led the best way into how existence will have to be lived.

Many because of all who supported the Adlestrop Membership Query of Game ultimate night time.  Thirty groups, together with broadcasting greats Ruscoe, Pougatch, Inverdale and Francome competed for the identify.  Thank you to a few good questions via proprietor Charlie Allan and an exemplary quiz grasp in Jess Stafford – an ideal night time was once had via all.  Congratulations to the successful staff captained via Steve Key and because of the generosity of many, now we have raised £2000 for the Motor Neurone Illness Affiliation.
