We are truly heartbroken to have lost Springwell Bay at Cheltenham today.
He was the sweetest, most talented horse who was loved by the whole team, especially his groom Tirana.
Our thoughts are with his owners Gay, Derrick and Paul Smith.

- Sadly not our day today but happy to report that Cloth Cap is all fine. Heโs been an absolute superstar for us this season. Huge congratulations to JP and Noreen and @HenrydeBromhead and @rachaelblackmor on their win ๐๐ป
- After heartfelt discussions with his owners, we have made the decision to retire Cloth Cap. He gave ourselves and Trevor some very special days, especially winning the Hennessy in 2020. He owes us all nothing and finishes happy and healthy. Thanks for the memories Clothy.
- Desperately sad that we lost Taquin Du Seuil today. He was such a star giving his all and giving us so many great days. My thoughts are with Sir Martin and Jocelyn Broughton and friends and to all of our team who loved him so much.
