May sees a fond farewell to the traditional National Hunt season and the flat trainers start licking their lips at some of the early season targets.
One of this month’s highlights had to be BOW ECHO winning the Betfred 2000 Guineas for George Boughey and Billy Loughnane. After the sad passing of his owner/breeder Sheikh Mohammed Obaid last year, it was wonderful to see this horse repay the faith of his confident connections and the atmosphere on the Rowley Mile was palpable!
OUR TRAINERS ARE HITTING THE TARGET
Despite us only having one runner in the month, it is always heartening to see our Stowe Racing trainers knocking in the winners, eleven during the month at the time of writing, with a couple of days left. It shows they are in form meaning the expectations are a little higher when our charges race, but May really did see all three of our trainers in good light. Long may it continue!
FOREVER FAITHFULL AT GOODWOOD
Finally, we managed to get onto the course with one of our syndicate horse’s when Forever Faithfull made her eagerly awaited debut at Goodwood.
Goodwood really is one of those courses you must visit. Home to the Duke of Richmond, it has a Wimbledon air with unrivalled views across the Sussex Downs where the staff truly make owners feel welcomed and appreciated.
Nine Old Stoic Racing Club members came down to support her but unfortunately a slow start out of the stalls put her on the back foot from the outset. She tried valiantly to make up some ground in the middle part of the but was always fighting a lost cause and came home a ‘’never nearer’’ 7th.
That aside, it was still a magical day and we look forward to her next outing with interest.
SPEECH DAY SIZZLES
At the same time as Forever Faithfull was racing at Goodwood, many hundreds of Stoics (current and old), parents and friends of Stowe enjoyed the school in all its glory at the 2026 Speech Day.
A highlight was the Classic Car Show on the North Front, hosted by the Old Stoic Society. It provided a striking welcome for guests and featured an especially strong and varied selection of cars this year, with many rare and interesting entries on display.
I am already considering how I might look to promote the Stowe Racing syndicates at next year’s Speech Day in 2027, which will be our ten year anniversary.
Further reviews of the day can be found here.
