NEWS & TIPS

First New Arrival At Apple Tree For 2025 14/02/25

AppleTree Stud received the perfect Valentine gift this Friday when Heavenly Breath (Dark Angel X Astonishing) delivered a fine colt by Sea The Stars, he was born at 8.20pm 14/02/25. He is Heavenly Breaths first foal and seeing what she has produced suggest the future bodes well for her. Valentino was the stable name he has been given and we look forward to watching him grow and develop.

Blast The Dream Follows Up At Newcastle 08/02/25

Blast The Dream followed up her recent success at Southwell by snatching victory at Newcastle this evening by the shortest of margins. She manage to win the Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap over 1 mile by a short head from West Tyrone. Although she travelled well through out the race she hit a flat spot at about the 2 furlong pole where her opposition got first run on her. Jack Mitchel balanced her well and once she had got her act together she really was motoring at the line to win on the nod. The race will bring out more improvement we hope as she is still learning her job and we look forward to seeing what the handicapper does before making a plan, although there is sure to be a little break on the horizon before a summer campaign.
