Introduction I thought I would struggle to keep the updates weekly again and so it proved! In fairness, it has been a quiet two weeks for BG Racing. Stryder ran better at Wolverhampton and then had a few days off and Bella Cavalla also had a few days off before returning to prepare for the …

BG Racing – Update 23-07-24
Introduction Setting myself up for a failure to keep this pace, here is another update – just one week from when I issued the last one! Last week did not materialise as I planned, as I was due to be at a syndicate day at Nottingham on Tuesday, racing with Bella Cavalla on Wednesday and …
BG Racing – Update 15-07-24
Introduction Another busy week in the office, processing renewal information for Bella Cavalla and we also had a run from Stryder last Tuesday. That one was a bit disappointing but we went from one extreme to the other in terms of the ground. The ground may be an issue for Bella Cavalla running at Uttoxeter …
BG Racing – Update 05-07-24
Introduction Where does the time go? I have been trying to get around to this update all week! Since the last post, we have reached the end of our ownership year with Bella Cavalla and we have had another run from Stryder albeit that it was a slightly disappointing run with him beaten due to …
BG Racing – Update 18-06-24
Introduction Another “weekly” update, two weeks after the last one! It was a busy fortnight with Bella Cavalla running at Southwell and my business networking event taking place at Lingfield last Monday.

It was brilliant to see behind the scenes of racing’s administration function …
BG Racing – Update 21-05-24
Introduction Busy times since my last update. We had 10 days in Northern Ireland during which time both of Neil Mulholland’s racing club horses ran and that meant organising badges and communications for them and then we had runs from Stryder and Bella Cavalla, so I have certainly been kept on my toes. It was …
BG Racing – Update 03-05-24
Introduction This comes to you from the lounge of the Irish Ferries, Oscar Wilde, which is currently transporting me across the Irish Sea. Dedication to duty, as I am still hard at work on BG Racing whilst heading off on holiday! In truth, I am a bit late with this. Bella Cavalla’s race impacted on …
BG Racing – Update 15-04-24
Introduction I have been to the stables to see Stryder twice in the last ten days and he is coming along well. We have also had Aintree which was a good spectacle and the Grand National yesterday was a great race. A couple of unseated riders and a few pulled up but no fallers which …
BG Racing – Update 03-04-24
Introduction A sad day to be typing this having learned that jockey Stefano Cherchi passed away overnight in Australia. Stefano suffered a head injury in a fall a couple of weeks ago and has been in an induced coma from which he has not recovered. Stefano was only 23 and joined us as a guest …
