June/July 2023

Although we have been relatively quiet on the track in the last few weeks, we have been anything but quiet, off it!

We have had an incredibly busy and productive period at the sales in the UK and Ireland, buying what we hope are some seriously exciting horses. As I write this, AJ and Jonjo Jr. have just returned from the Arqana Summer Sale at Deauville in France where we bought a couple of nice prospects.

On the course, it was brilliant to see Judicial Law back up his win at Worcester with victory at Huntingdon and lovely for Biowavego to get back into the winners’ enclosure at Warwick after a few months off. Playtogetaway followed up his win at Huntingdon with a stylish performance at Worcester and Zabeel Champion made the long trip to Perth worthwhile with a convincing victory for Martin and Iwona Tedham.

At home, the Summer is a time for getting everything in tip top condition, and our ground staff have been flat out repairing and upgrading our walk and trot tracks, while our riders and yard staff have repainted the stables and creosoted our miles of fencing.

​ We never sit on our laurels, and use these months to discuss all our ways of doing things with our vets, feed suppliers, farrier, physios and senior staff, to ensure we are giving our horses everything possible to support their health, welfare and performance. There is always something to learn!

​We have started bringing some of the horses back in from their holidays. It will be a case of easing them back into training for the first few weeks, before ramping up their exercise ahead of the new season. You can read a little more about their programme below.

If you would like to get involved in ownership or would like any further information on how to get involved, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us on pa@jonjooneillracing.com.

Thank you to you all for your continued support,

Stay healthy and best wishes,

Jonjo
