Our weekly round up of Surrey Racing news and views on the wider racing world
Mid September
The owners enjoyed a really enjoyable visit to Toby Lawes Open Day as part of National Racehorse Week. A quiet week ahead starting with a subdued day of mourning tomorrow. Our thoughts and condolences with everyone whose heart was touched by Her Majesty The Queen.
RIP QE II 1926-2022
A strange and sad week where racing takes a back seat and we mourning the passing of the only monarch most of us have ever known - and welcome a new King. The show goes on …
September’s 1st Update
Injuries are part and parcel of sport but we are certainly having our fair share at Surrey Racing. We are hoping September and the final months of the year bring some better luck, some rain, and some wins!
End of August update
As we approach the end of August we’ve had plenty of reminders that horse racing is full of ups and downs as we’ve had to move horses, had injuries that in some cases have meant we’ve had to retire horses. Whatever we do at Surrey Racing, the welfare of our horses is paramount. Roll on a lucky September ..
24th August Update
Surrey Noir is looking superb and nearing his debut as we wish Gran Luna and Surrey Gold well after retiring them with injury after 20 runs which they stacked up 8 wins.
Gran Luna and Surrey Gold Retired
Celebrations like in the picture after Surrey Gold won at York are priceless moments so when it’s been a sad week to have to retire two of our best horses in Gran Luna and Surrey Gold because of injury. We will make sure they have a very happy life after racing.
August 7th Update
All of the horses are well - some like Surrey Knight are recovering and in rehab but a quiet month on the racetrack as we look ahead to the yearling sales and the softer Autumn ground …
It’s Coming Home!
Massive Congrats to the England Football Team !!! Glorious Goodwood comes to a close and we move into August with still no sign of any rain. It will be a quiet month for Surrey Racing - read on …
Glorious Goodwood
This week we have our first ever runner at Glorious Goodwood with a live chance on Wednesday with Surrey Mist running in the Coral Handicap ….
Hot, Hot , Hot
As the temperature reaches record levels spare a thought for the horses at work and on the track this week. Surrey Racing is keeping their horses away from track right now so a quieter week ahead with Glorious Goodwood on the horizon
10th July Update
2 runs without success and Surrey Princess was sold to be a broodmare in Argentina, we wish her well … no runners this week as the country ‘enjoys’ some extreme heat - keep the animals inside.
Welcome to July
Two runners and a visit to the sales this week - plenty happening … Surrey Charm has her second ever run at Epsom and Surrey Mist surely will go close at Ascot or Newmarket
End of June Update
Surrey Princess makes what could be her final appearance in Surrey Racing colours on Tuesday at Brighton before heading off to Tattersalls.
Summer Solstice Update
After a cracking week for the owners at Royal Ascot things quieten for this week. A chance to regroup, take a breath, and onwards we go …..
Owners at Royal Ascot !
The syndicate owners of Surrey Gold and Surrey Mist enjoyed two fabulous days in the sun at Royal Ascot this week. Unfortunately we didn’t trouble the judge but we’ll be back to try again next year.
Royal Ascot Update
Royal Ascot here we come - Surrey Mist and Surrey Gold are in great shape but we hope the course gets heavily watered !!
