Simply Wings wins big at Lingfield Park 21/12/2014

Simply Wings (1/2 brother to Ballynagour also bred at Loughview) won the handicap chase at Lingfield today. He was the oldest horse and was ridden by Ballynagour’s jockey Tom Scudamore. What a brilliant horse to still be winning big races without much coaxing at the grand old age of 10!!

Success at the sales

Graham and family were at the Tattersalls’ November hunt sales at the weekend with Present Line’s yearling gelding where they were short-listed to the finals of the gelding championships.

This then led to a sale the next day.

After an incredibly hard journey into this life through being rescued from joining her mother in death by the acquisition of a foster mare, wee Tawny is turning into a lovely foal, for more details on her breeding and age see our “Upcoming” section of the website.

Ballynagour comes second in Punchestown

After his Cheltenum win, Ballynagour was re graded as a Grade one hunt racehorse, and his first major race was at Punchestown. Ballynagour held his own throughout the race and finished a respectable second place! High hopes for this horse! For all future races see the full list here.

Ballynagour wins at Cheltenham

Well he has finally done it, Ballynagour bred here at Loughview has won at Cheltenham. To quote the press “Ballynagour, a big gamble 12 months ago, ran away with the Byrne Group Plate this year at the Cheltenham Festival.”
