A Happy Christmas to all our readers from everyone at Northgate Lodge.
Thank you for your cards, greetings and good wishes. All much appreciated.
Hope you can all enjoy the festive season in line with the times we are in.
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.
Klopp wins a strange race
KLOPP won well at Newcastle on Saturday. However, she was left out of the stalls when the starter let them go for the first time and the race was then deemed to be a false start.
Half the field including our own QAARAAT completed the course, so had to be withdrawn.
The remainder returned to the start for the race to be re-run. Klopp was soon going easily and moved clear inside the final furlong to win well. We won’t see a similar situation very often.
5 runner Saturday
We have 5 runners on Saturday spread between Newcastle and Wolverhampton.
KLOPP and QAARAAT compete in the 5.00pm sprint at Newcastle, having finished 2nd and 3rd on Monday.
THAWRY, TATHMEEN & ANOTHER ANGEL head to Wolverhampton but the draws could have been kinder, especially for the sprints.
We have 4 horses entered for Newcastle on Tuesday, so keep in touch for the details.
Slowmo course and distance double
SLOWMO returned to Southwell over the 5 furlong trip and repeated his recent course and distance win in game fashion having travelled pretty well throughout.
Winner 38 for the year for the yard.
We have several runners on Monday and Tuesday so please keep in touch for the details.
3 day Wolverhampton double for Mutabaahy
MUTABAAHY made it 2 Wolverhampton wins in 3 days when completing the quick double in the 5.30pm race on Tuesday.
He gave us winner number 37 for the year. Please see the photo links from the performance below.
Mutabaahy Win and Monday Action
MUTABAAHY gained another Wolverhampton win on Saturday. Our 3rd Sprint Handicap win in week and two of those carry their penalties at Wolverampton on Monday.
SLOWMO (3.50PM) & QAARAAT (4.20PM). We also run TRAVELLER & DAAFR in the 5.50PM.
We have runners at 2 meetings on Tuesday so more news to follow.
