Fantastic weekend enjoyed in Ireland for
@IrishChampsWknd
. 3 horses travelled over and all picked up money:
Safe Voyage -🥈in the Sovereign Path
Mr Wagyu -🥉in the Bold Lad
Highfield Princess -🥇in the Flying Five
A weekend to remember topped off by the wonder mare!
Sad to report that Grazeon Roy suffered a fatal injury at Newcastle yesterday. His loss has hit us hard as not only was he just getting going in his career but he was a real character around the yard. The empty box that stands in Highfield this morning will take a lot of filling.
So pleased for this guy riding his first
@Ascot
winner aboard Highfield Princess. We’ve enjoyed great success since we started working together and I’m sure there’s more to come 🙏🏻
JJQ is very grateful for all the kind messages. We’re all mightily proud of this achievement. Epsom has always been a happy hunting ground! To the next 1000 🥂
Yesterday’s G2 City Of York Stakes winner is understandably the centre of attention today. Safe Voyage,
@jasonhart13
and Jhingree have all pulled out sound this morning 💪🏻🏆
A huge will to win saw Safe Voyage get back up to win the Boomerang Mile. He’s having a remarkable season at the age of 7 🙏🏻🏆. We’re so thankful to have him in our stables
I’m not sure Signora Cabello is too worried about her date in the sale ring later this evening
@Tattersalls1766
- typical of the filly, nothing fazes her!
Lord Riddiford may not have won at Nottingham but his 2nd placed effort takes us over the £1 million mark in the UK for the 1st time. Well done and thanks to all who have helped in 2022🙏🏻💰

Great to have our flying fillies Liberty Beach (left) and Keep Busy back in work at Highfield. Both G1 placed last year, we hope they can top that in 2021 🚀 🤞🏻
In these strange times though were especially thankful to Patrick Prendergast who has looked after Safe Voyage since he landed in Ireland, Sean Grassick for leading him up and

Many moons ago JQ kept the electricity going when Tipperary Sunset won a h’cap at Ponte off a mark of 38. He’s been waiting for a good ‘un to use the name again. I think he might have found one 🙏🏻
Great to see JM Jungle win the last
