We made the hat trick today, with Atwaar gaining her third career victory, this time at Wolverhampton.
A big thank you to all of the connections for giving me the opportunity.
It is a year ago since Athollblair Boy and me were winners at Newcastle. Here he is the next day doing a victory leap!
He has had a little holiday and is back in the yard now looking fantastic, ready to start another campaign.
No luck at Southwell today but Atwaar will be back to add to his victories another day.
Had a great run on Mountain Of Stars for Suzzanne France at Southwell yesterday. He outran his odds to finish a close up second.
Back there tomorrow with Hunters Step for the boss, who makes his fibresand debut, and also Atwaar, who came so close to the hat trick last week.
A great way to start the New Year, privileged to ride the legend Alpha Tauri at Southwell.
Now 14 years old, he has won an incredible 13 times at the track.
A great family day, out on the motorbike with my Dad who also cooked this fantastic dinner!
Another great run from Atwaar, just missed out on the three timer but great to be back in action again.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
A happy and healthy New Year to all from Belle and me.
Looking forward to being back in action today, going to Southwell looking for a hat trick on board Atwaar.
A happy memory from a couple of years ago.
Laying on a straw bed in a stable is quite topical for this time of year.
I was just making sure it was soft enough before Allux Boy came in for bedtime.
Belle was gutted as the bad weather took its toll on the racing and Southwell was abandoned.
We were looking forward to our road trip, and the hat trick attempt aboard Atwaar.
Allux Boy joining in the festivities!
Time to wrap the presents!
Someone is looking forward to Christmas now!
It’s important to take every opportunity to maintain race fitness during this quiet time of the year!
Belle begins her countdown to Christmas, searching for today’s date on her advent calendar.
Thank you to her secret admirer who was kind enough to send it for her.
I have been making the most of the fantastic local facilities at Jack Berry House in Malton, keeping fit with some boxing. They do fantastic work there.
You can show your support by visiting the website and buying your christmas gifts now!
Then it was out for Sunday lunch with some great friends, not forgetting Belle.
Had a very relaxing day back home on Sunday. Enjoyed a visit to the beach with Leannes Lady, a real sweetheart of a horse.
A quieter morning with a Team Tinkler hack through the village.
It is a privilege to work with such a great team full of fantastic people.
