Sad to read that Tyrone passed away earlier this week at just 54.
He had a long and successful connection with Northgate Lodge, riding many of the winners here.
Mondammej Pontefract Victory
MONDAMMEJ won the feature Sprint at Pontefract on Monday, on his first ever run on turf.
The fast pace helped him settle and he quickened up nicely up the hill for a taking win.
There is a link to photos of his win below

40 Winners for 2020
SPARTAN FIGHTER made it 40 winners for the yard in 2020 when successful at Wolverhampton on Saturday. A total we are proud of.
We have a few more runners before the turn of the year so will see if we can add to the total still further.
Saturday, Sunday & Monday runners. The last before Xmas
We have our final runners before Xmas over the next 3 days.
We send 2 to Wolverhampton on Saturday, although we have not fared well with the draws with either SPARTAN FIGHTER or ANOTHER ANGEL.
Sunday sees DRAKEFELL, VAN DIJK & THAWRY return to Southwell. We have put young Laura Pearson claiming 7lbs on the enigmatic Thawry, in the hope her touch can yield more of his potential.
Monday will see TRAVELLER, TATHMEEN, LUCKY LODGE & QAARAAT head up to Newcastle. A track where they have all won and some of them numerous times.
Southwell on Thursday
We have 2 runners at Southwell on Thursday.
SLOWMO has shown a liking for the surface over the 5F trip and is going for his 3rd course and distance win.
VAN DIJK appeared to handle the surface last time and also looked worth a try at this longer trip.
We have planned runners for Saturday and Sunday
