Racing Syndicate.

PRINCE ELZAAM,our first winner for the Yorkthoroughbredracing syndicate (we sold him to Bahrain owners for £60,000) won in Bahrain today following a couple of near misses with Callum Rodriguez on board.

I put this up for the handful of people who like to be kept up to date on the fate of former YTR horses.

Seas ran well for a long way probably got his head in front for a time before appearing to fade into 4th beaten about 2 lengths,i am trying to find out if the run was needed and if it was he is sure to win again and may even go down a pound in the ratings.
The new YTR filly arrived at the yard of Ken Condon today from the pre training yard,not named yet, a few are being considered.

Seas is out again tomorrow at Chelmsford, looks like he won here previously also. Worth an ew crack at 18/1?

Jeez,two ex YTR horses out tomorrow as Wise Eagle runs in the 12.40 at Catterick and despite flashing his tail is not out of it.

SEAS would have a real chance if coming on from last run in a race thats no tougher.

However drawn 12 is not a help and that puts me off.

Iwill try to get the story in the morning and if i hear anything i will let you know.

Wise Eagle out tomorrow in an AW bumper 2.55 Newcastle,i dont know if he stays that far on the flat (did not appear to stay one and a half miles) but stayed 2 miles well enough over hurdles and i will not be backing him tomorrow but hope he goes well for them.

SEAS OF ELZAAM has Danny Tudhope on board and has a good chance of becoming the 2nd ex YTR horse to win for its new owners in recent days and i will be having a few quid on ew.

Cailin Cliste is the name that will be registered for the filly that is now in training with Ken Condon,lets hope she lives up to her name.

Cailin Cliste coming along fine and she will be out in 3 weeks,will report on wellbeing closer to the day.

I see two former YTR horses won at Catterick today in the 2.50 and 3.20,Wise Eagle and Seas of Elzaam,it goes to show that the two who run our syndicate,John and Jodi can buy winners,the handful of horses we had have all been winners so lets hope the luck holds when our first venture in Ireland, Cailin Cliste (runs in a couple of weeks,when she will probably will be taking on the OBriens and all the other top trainers in a fillies maiden in Tipp) tries to keep our record going.

We may now wait for a race at Naas the following week.

Goes today 1.25 Naas it's a real good contest with a few expensive well bred runners,Lyons horse is said to be a machine.I have a couple of modest bets on ours betting without and I hope she runs with promise.

Happy enough with todays race,the winner looks like a contender for the Albany stakes in Royal Ascot,ours will improve and i got the place money on my two bets without the fav ew at 18s and without 2 at 11s.

Looking forward to Cailins next run.

Cailin Cliste has her 2nd run today in the 4.30 Dundalk and we are hoping for a good run,however 3 Obrien horses is probably more than we expected to have to contend with.

One of Obriens cost 580,000 gns and as one would expect is a short priced fav,there has been some money for Cailin Cliste who is now 2nd fav.

I am disappointed that one that appeared to have little chance has been withdrawn leaving just 7 runners and only 2 places for ew punters.

I had thought Cailin was a very good ew bet at around 3 or 4 to 1 when we were getting 3 places and i am hoping she will go out in price.

I would not put anyone off backing her as the form but her odds are a bit skinny.

On the plus side she is in good form and doing her best and if she runs well today she may take her chance in a group 3 at Naas on sunday (Aiden Obriens 2 are also entered in that race).

It is exciting for us to have one who may good enough to run in a group 3 with a horse bought for small enough money.

The pair who run the syndicate have bought well for so far with all our horses winning in the last 3 years and it will be fantastic if Cailin Cliste could win this evening and take her chance in group or listed company so fingers crossed and heres hoping she does well and comes out of the race sound that will be great.

I just now see one of AOBs is withdrawn and we may now go off fav.

If she should win today and the form of her first run is strong enough to hope she can i will be counting the hours until sunday.

CAILIN CLISTE seems to have come out of the race well and while it seemed a bit of a disappointing run, in time being beaten 7 and a 1/2 lengths by Yet after being a bit slow out of the stalls may not be too bad.

All being well the filly has a couple of entries in Cork on wednesday in maidens and she will probably take her chance.

Cailin out again today in a tough race where a few will be fancied strongly.

Aiden Obriens will take beating and the fact that Billy Lee rides the Twomy horse and the fact that it is well backed suggests they think a lot of it,there are a couple of more to fear in the race and it appears Cailin is up against it.

She will do her best and the ground is expected to suit but as this is he 3rd run it is likely she will not be knocked about if she cannot win and handicaps will be on the agenda in the future.

Nice win for Wise Eagle this evening, I know he's not yours anymore but I still follow it.

Yea Wise is turning into a fun horse as is Seas of Elzaam,however they had to be sold.

The pair who run the syndicate can buy winners but their future was always going to be in Ireland and now they are moving home in october.

They have taken the yard of John Oxx and have set up as Odonoghue Racing in the Curragh,they are moving in in october.

John is working out his notice (he is assistant trainer to Roger Varian in Newmarket) and Jodi is working out her notice with the Jockey Club also in Newmarket.

It was always the plan to train in Ireland, they got married in december and will be moving to live in the Curragh..They will have plenty of horses available for syndication i presume and i will be involved in one or two.

It is a brave venture for the pair but its what they have worked towards for a few years now and i hope it works out for them.
