Saturday still produced winners

Despite disappointing runs from Blakfrankisch and The Game the ONEWAY team still returned from Newbury with a winner on Saturday.

Tom was a luncheon guest of Newbury Racecourse in the Royal Box on Ladies Day and took Samantha Paton, his secretary, as his 'date'. Sam looked magnificent, as usual, in a navy blue and white suit and a beautiful hat designed by Jane Corbett and walked off with the prize for the Best Dressed Lady and £500 more in her pocket. Well done Sam!

Richard Kingscote also returned from the races with a winner. He partnered Lilac Moon, trained by Nicky Vaughan and owned by Bert Black to win the closing handicap at Newmarket. Well done Bert and Richard!

Following the races Tom drove to Portsmouth, with his vet Caroline George, and sailed overnight to attend the Deauville Yearling Sales on Sunday and Monday. He is hoping to be back by midnight on Monday in time to plan the trip to York on Tuesday and Wednesday. The trainer's life is a busy one.
