Stradivarius x Lola Paige colt arrived at AppleTree at the not so unreasonable hour of 10.30pm. Lola Paige is the perfect mother and we have high hopes for her going forward. Her first foal Lola Moon ran last weekend at Newbury in a hot maiden finishing 5th only beaten 1 & 3/4 length. Lola Paige also has a Too Darn Hot 2yo filly in training with Ralph Beckett sold by AppleTree for 600,000gns last October and a another smart Too Darn Hot filly here at home. Cooper as the colt has been named will hopefully fly the flag for his brilliant sire.

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.
