From Racehorse Trainer Antony Brittain
Southwell have added an extra meeting on Tuesday and we take the opportunity to participate with 4 runners.
These include our recent course winners QAARAAT & DAAFR and are joined by DRAKEFELL who runs well here and INTERNATIONAL LAW having his first run on the surface.
Our next entries are then on Thursday with a possible Newcastle/Southwell double header. The entries page of the main website has links to all the details.
A good day on Saturday for the yard, winning both the Newcastle races we contested.
VAN DIJK won his second race of the year, racing in his usual enigmatic style. See photos of his win and Harry Russell below.

SPARTAN FIGHTER won his race nicely, having made most before keeping on gamely. There is a similar photo link from his race below.

We send another 4 runners to Newcastle on Saturday, including 3 in the Apprentice Handicap:
SPARTAN FIGHTER
MUTABAAHY
LUCKY LODGE
VAN DIJK makes a quick reappearance in the 0-50 Classified event earlier on the card.
We send 4 runners to Newcastle on Thursday for the two sprint handicaps at 7.00pm & 7.30pm.
TATHMEEN & LUCKY LODGE are the first to go. Lucky Lodge is still going strong at the age of 11. We hope he can maintain his record and win another race or races in 2021.
MONDAMMEJ makes his handicap debut off a mark of 82 and is joined by KLOPP.
Our next entries are then at Newcastle on Saturday
DAAFR won comfortably at Southwell on Tuesday night, seemingly taking well to the surface which is always a big plus at the track. The first time visor also appeared to have the desired effect and could win again around there
if similarly minded.
He was our 4th winner for January and the horses continue to run well.
We send ONE ONE SEVEN & INTERNATIONAL LAW down to Wolverhampton today and both have very good records at the track.
Tomorrow we will give ANOTHER ANGEL & DAAFR a try at Southwell.
VAN DIJK is declared for Southwell on Wednesday having only narrowly failed to peg back the winner and land a double on Friday.
QAARAAT travelled well and won nicely in the 5f sprint at Southwell on Friday. It was his 3rd win of the autumn/winter campaign, back up by several placed efforts too.
He was our 3rd winner of 2021.
We have a double header of meetings on Friday with 3 runners at Newcastle and 2 at Southwell.

UPSIDE DOWN gained her first success when landing the 5f handicap at Southwell on Friday. Homebred and sired by Albaasil, she handled conditions well and could win again under similar circumstances.
She was our second winner of the week and for 2021
