FOR FRIENDSHIP ๐ makes it 3 on the spin in ๐ซ๐ท with a comfortable success in the closing race at Auteuil on Saturday. His first win over obstacles since his 3 yo days but heโs deserved that for his consistency since returning to @EcurieSeror.

And followed up today by NORMANDY MAN ๐ showing a smart turn of foot to win on hurdles debut having been held up in rear, picking up the favourite late on. He had some smart flat form (rated 86) and ๐ค plenty more to come over obstacles.

A good couple of days in ๐ซ๐ท with DAMABIAH ANGEL a comfortable winner under Christian Demuro yesterday. Sheโll be heading 3 yo hurdling at some stage but might have more to come on the flat first.

๐ Dandy bounces back in great fashion under a fine ride by @loughnane_billy who identified the lack of pace pre-race and made almost all in her first go with cheekpieces for @jimboyle17.
Her 5th win at Lingfield this AW season

Green as grass on debut and spotted by eagle-eyed @JonesToby86, MOZAMBIQUE was still keen early today but won easily in the conditions race at Pau ๐ . A nice future ahead of him.

The daughter of Dandy Man was raised at

Congratulations to all connections!

Hopefully more of the same in 2026 which got off to the best start with STELLINA ROSE winning well at Cagnes. Busy weekend of runners upcoming ๐ค

An unbelievable achievement by @EcurieSeror to win the trainers championship - vaulting from 5th in 2024 to get up on the line this year.
A relentless campaign from January to December, averaging โฌ25,000 in PM per horse across 176 individual runners.
๐ again for 2026
Some year. The highs with @EcurieSeror champion ๐ซ๐ท national hunt trainer and some very low lows especially the passing of our friend, co owner and racing enthusiast, Sam Sutton
Excellent to see GUETTA ๐ today after finishing off the turkey. Sheโs deserved to pick up a race and things fell right for her today.
๐ #30 of 2025, one better than 2024!
And @EcurieSeror hits the front!

Provides us with a Christmas day winner, a horse who's been a bit unlucky in her races comes good today for @JamesFGun & Jonny Pearson-Stuttard, with @EcurieSeror taking the lead for the French trainers title ๐
Brilliant to see MILPAT bolt up on English debut today - last seen in the late @sutto821 colours at Moulins and sold privately thereafter.
Loads more to come from him ๐ค
Well done @McNeill_Family
Extremely fitting that the first two runners after @sutto821 Celebration of Life event on Monday produced a double ๐ ๐ at @hippocotdazur.
KEL STORY and JILAIJONE spent most of their careers in Samโs silks and provided him with some of his best daysโ racing on either side ..
.. of the channel. Heโd have got a real kick out of today, especially watching Kel (only 2nd horse we owned together) mark himself out as the leading hurdler of the meeting - one he loved to follow and to attend.
With thanks to @AdrienCUGNASSE for the article.
GUIDO DโONEIX sells on Thursday here. Worth a look for an affordable Fred Winter project with likely improvement from opening mark of 114. Good Paris form behind 5L behind listed horses on debut and remains a maiden. Eye-catching 2nd LTO.
Any questions please DM.
