For Noel
Wilson, it has been a long time coming. The
Wilson, a
leading amateur jockey for 20 years and trainer since 2000, had to wait
patiently before moving into his 30-stable and seven-furlong all-weather gallop
facility at the turn of the year. More than 100 people turned up last weekend
for an open day, when
But Wilson,
who has tasted success on the track this season with Hotham,
at Pontefract, and Dodaa, at Southwell, isn't finished yet. "We've 30 stables
here with plans to build another 30 and maybe in a year, to expand even
more as we progress," he said. "We've got a seven-furlong all-weather
gallop and we've also laid a grass gallop, which will take around ten months to
settle in. Then we will have all our own facilities here - grass
and all-weather gallops, schooling fences, starting stalls - an all-in-one
facility."
Good things
definitely come to those who wait. It took around four years for the planning
permissions and building work before Noel, and wife Nikki, were able to finally
move their string into the yard.

He added:
"We've started this new racing club, called The Six Pound Note Club.
We've got three horses at the moment, where people can get into racehorse
ownership for a small amount of money. We want to build this up to around ten
horses."
Hotham was
"Hotham's a five-furlong horse, he might see six out. He won
at Pontefract and he's been unlucky since. He'll probably run in the next
fortnight," said
"We've
got a couple of nice horses. Nanton's a very
good horse for the Flat, as is United Nations. Jumping wise, there's Arctic
Ghost and, also, Michaels Dream has been a stable star for us winning six
races.
"We've
got some nice two-year-olds to go with it who are just taking a bit of time and
we've got a nice stream of horses to suit the whole year. Times are very
exciting and we are building up the strength of horse.

lucky that, at the first attempt, we had a lovely big filly foal of such
excellent conformation, enabling the syndication to be completed within a
couple of weeks of her birth. She has been given a stable name of Mable and, as is always the case, everyone has fallen in
love with her. In fact Steve wanted to keep her all to himself but commerciality overuled!
She is seen above galloping around the paddock with mum, aged 4 days, and to
the left, you have a good profile of her aged 2 months. The syndication
agreement determines that she will go to The Doncaster Bloodstock Yearling
Sales in September 2008 and she will be sold if bidding goes above the reserve
stated in the syndication agreement. If the reserve is not met then she
will be sent into training for the syndicate. It is our aim to offer
syndication at all levels starting from as little as £10 per week for a 50th share. Hopefully, this will enable many people who
previously have not owned a racehorse to enjoy the pleasures of racehorse
ownership without it breaking the bank.
We shall now be bringing you our latest news on a regular basis and look
forward to enjoying our racing experiences together.
