Djakavi Catterick-2

Djarkevi wins on yard debut

by Latest NewsWinners

Djarkevi proved to be a very shrewd buy for Laura Morgan and Owner Elaine Holmes when picked up at Goffs October Sales for a fraction of the £68,000 that Charlie Longsdon paid for the gelding barely 18 months earlier.

Making his debut for the yard at Catterick he jumped for fun and fairly bolted up under Ross Chapman….lets hope the handicapper is not too harsh on him !

DJARKEVI, making his debut for this trainer, jumped particularly well and, having set a good gallop, saw his race out in style. He proved far too good for his rivals but the downside is that he could face a stiff rise for beating some out-of-form rivals.

Boxing Day win For Skipping On

by Latest NewsWinners

Three time winning chaser , Skipping On, reverted to Hurdles for his first run in the colours of The Triumph In Mind partnership and recorded an emphatic win at very rewarding odds of 16-1.

He was given a polished ride by 7lb claiming amateur Tabitha Worsley and stayed on really well up the Sedgefield hill.

SKIPPING ON, absent since an 11l winner over fences in April, produced a fine effort after his absence under a positive ride. He found plenty when asked for extra late on and won comfortably.

Chase win for Thomas Todd

by Latest NewsWinners

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a steady start to the season, due to the firm ground and lack of rain in the autumn, the horses are really running into form.

Hasaab was a close second yesterday at Leicester and Thomas Todd went one better today with an emphatic win at Mussleburgh.

THOMAS TODD, a point winner since last seen over hurdles, was held up and looked in trouble before picking up strongly on the straight. He should be able to go on from this.

Valuable Win for Go West Young Man

by Latest NewsWinners

A fantastic win for Go West Young Man in the Perth Silver Cup. Laura is fast getting a name for winning valuable prizes with horses that she improves with her attention to detail.

This was also a very cool ride from the talented Tabitha Worsley and also was a new course record !

GO WEST YOUNG MAN turned in a much improved effort in the first-time visor, pressing on a long way out and, in truth, never looking in much danger of being reeled in. Whether the headgear will work as well a second time, though, remains to be seen.

Alys Rock wins at Worcester

by Latest NewsWinners

The yard got off the mark for the new season when Alys Rock won over fences at Worcester under Partick Cowley. Always in the front rank she jumped into the lead 6 from home and never looked like being caught, staying on well up the run in.

ALYS ROCK, previously trained by Mick Appleby and off the track for over a year, gave Laura Morgan her first winner of the season. Moving to the front at the last down the far side, she was being hard pressed by the runner-up when he collided with the rails on the run-in. Now 2-3 over fences, she showed a slight inclination to jump to her right, but drifted the other way after the last.

Vassy Win 3-1

Another Southwell Win for Ulis De Vassy

by Latest NewsWinners

A terrific week for the in-form yard as Ulis De Vassy won the second valuable race for the stable in the last 3 days.

Another well timed and confident ride from Patrick Cowley who gets on so well with this horse. Well done to the whole team on what has been a fantastic season….

ULIS DE VASSY is a dual previous course winner who showed improved form when fourth in a better race at Carlisle three days earlier. He was able to track the pace and attack in the straight on the contrasting ground and came through for a narrow victory. It was his first win from 12 starts over this longer trip.

Awesome Skipping On !

by Latest NewsWinners

What a horse and what a great training performance by Laura ! To keep Skipping On fresh and enthusiastic after a hard race just 9 days ago is a terrific achievement.

This was another emphatic victory, his fourth of the season and another large hike in the handicap can be expected after this 11 length romp !

He seems to thrive on stiff tracks such as Towcester and Carlisle which are very similar with tough , uphill finishes.

SKIPPING ON jumped boldly in front, if markedly out to his left, and was fully in control over the last three fences. Officially 4lb ahead of his mark here, and back in grade, he has had a fine spell in recent weeks and seems just as effective over this trip or 2m.

Valuable Win for Skipping On

by Latest NewsWinners

The yard continued it’s excellent season as Skipping On defied the handicapper to win his third race of the current campaign. He clearly likes Towcester and gets on extremely well with 5lb claimer Patrick Cowley.

Having won by 14 lengths, Laura will be nervously awaiting his new mark when he is re-assessed next Tuesday. 

SKIPPING ON still looked on a good mark and was always going to be hitting the line hard having won pver 4f further last time. He was given a well-timed ride and galloped clear late.

Southwell Win for Skipping On

by Latest News

Another raceday, another winner for the in form Laura Morgan Racing Team. Skipping On Winning his second race of the season in gutsy fashion in testing , post freeze-up conditions at Southwell.

The yard is earning a fine record at the Nottinghamshire track with Ulis De vassy having already won twice there this year.

Later on in the Maiden Hurdle, Haasab ran a promising second race over hurdles to finish 3rd.

SKIPPING ON, despite not totally convincing over his fences again, got on top at the last and doubled his career tally. The longer trip was clearly no issue on this tight track and he does handle bad ground without much fuss. He's reportedly now to be given a break.

QUOTES: Skipping On has done the majority of his winning at stiff tracks like Towcester over two but we stepped him up to two and half here. He's had a lot of quick runs so I think we'll give him a nice break now - Laura Morgan, trainer.
