BG Racing – Update 20-09-25
Not much has happened, hence not as many updates as usual. I will get more regular updates out through the winter, as hopefully there will be plenty to communicate about our mare, Don’t Call Me Sue.
Since the last update, we have registered her name with Weatherby’s, so everything is now official!
As much as the recent rain has been unwelcome in terms of getting out and about, it has been good for the racecourses in terms of getting us some jumping ground, and hopefully that will not be an issue when Don’t Call Me Sue is ready to race.
All sorted regarding naming, Don’t Call Me Sue, and Susie (as she will be known for short) has been pleasing her trainer, Neil Mulholland, at home.
He has sent a couple of videos over that I have sent out to shareholders, and Neil seems pretty bullish about her, so let’s hope that is a good omen! Preparation time varies from horse to horse, but we hope to have her ready to run in the coming weeks, and we should then get a full season of jumping with her across the winter.
I do have limited shareholding available with 2% costing £780 and covering all costs to the end of April 2026.
Many of you will remember Far Too Beautiful, who raced on the flat for us before she was injured when we sent her hurdling. We sent her back to her owner-breeder, Richard Farleigh, and she has been doing well as a broodmare.
I heard from Richard recently, and I am pleased to report that Far Too Beautiful is in great form and still enjoying her carrots.
She was mated with Harry Angel last year, and the yearling that she produced heads to Book Three of the Tattersalls yearling sale at Newmarket in October to be sold. Richard describes her as a “knockout” with a lovely temperament, and he is hoping that she will sell well.
Far Too Beautiful has had a 2nd foal this year, this one sired by Mohaather. He is an inquisitive and well-mannered colt, and he is growing up quickly at a stud in Woburn.
The September episode of Inside The Rails features a chat with the Racing Post’s Newmarket correspondent, David Milnes. It is well worth a listen for stories of the famous horses he has seen on the gallops.

Not many winners to report, there have been a lot of placed runners that have not quite won their races.
Michael Attwater had a winner back on 12th August when Zaltalla came home in front.
Neil Mulholland also had a winner a few days later when Man of the Sea won at Bath on the 16th.
Neil had another winner on the 29th when Masterdream was successful.
If you are interested in finding out more about racehorse ownership, then please get in touch, as I would be delighted to discuss things with you.
Standing order payments can be made to spread the cost of share purchases, and shareholders get regular email updates along with the chance to come to the stables with me as well as to the races. There are also shareholder social events during the year.
