Summer 2007 J.S. BOLGER WINS TRAINER OF THE QUARTER
The
winner of the TRM/Trainer Magazine ‘’Trainer of the Quarter Award’’ went to
Mr. J.S. Bolger for the outstanding achievements of his filly Finsceal Beo in
winning both the Newmarket, and Curragh 1000 Guineas ,and placing second in
the French equivalent. There
were wild scenes more reminiscent of TOWNEND TRIUMPHS AT THIRLESTANE TRM’s
sponsored event rider Oliver Townend swept the board at Scotland’s top
equestrian event the Thirlestane Castle Horse Trials. In an outstanding run of form Oliver won
the intermediate and the advanced classes, was runner-up and sixth in the OI
and third in the CIC** and capped it all by taking the Scottish Open
Championship with his European Championships ride Flint Curtis. Due
to the cancellations of numerous events further south in the UK, Thirlestane
attracted record entries. A field of
62 contested the Open Championship. Oliver piped the defending champion, Ruth
Edge, this time riding Muschamp Impala, to the post. Three time-penalties, in
addition to one jumping mistake, in the final phase proved costly, giving
Oliver victory by a margin of just 1.7 penalties. Oliver’s
great success at Thirlestane helped him advance by 56 points in the eventing
league leader board resulting in Oliver extending his lead over William Fox
Pitt and Andrew Nicholson. Oliver has
secured his spot for this year's European Championships at Pratoni del Vivaro
(13-16 September) by finishing sixth in the CIC*** at Barbury Castle with
Flint Curtis.
TWO MORE GROUP 1 WINNERS RAISED ON CALPHORMIN The
grey wet skies over Ascot turned the turf into a soft and slightly sticky
carpet on which the three year old chestnut filly Indian Ink romped home sixth
lengths ahead of the field in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot. The Coronation
Stakes is a Group 1 race, run over one mile for three year old fillies. The Indian Ridge filly who is trained by
Richard Hannon was an 8 to 1 shot in the field of 13, and was toward the rear
of the field when she began making progress about two furlongs out. She hit
the front about one furlong from home enjoying the turf rated good to soft.
Indian Ink had already experienced Group 1 success when she won the Sky Bet
Cheverly Park Stakes as a juvenile.
She is owned by Raymond Tooth and is bred by Killeen Castle Stud in

Budweiser Irish Derby in the Curragh recently. The O’Brien stable was dominant in the race
with Alexander of Hales finishing second while Soldier
of Fortune who was fifth in the Vodafone Epsom Derby simply powered away from
the field under the Ballydoyle number two rider Seamus Heffernan to equal the
winning margin of Sinndar in 2000. The
bay Galileo colt sent off at odds of 5 to 1 completed 1.5 miles on turf rated
as soft in 2.36 minutes. The winning
colt was bred in

ENUCO – EQUINE NUTRITION CONFERENCE TRM recently presented a research
paper on the TRM ulcer product GNF at the prestigious Equine Nutrition
Conference (ENUCO) held in GNF is a unique supplement
for daily feeding to horses in order to maintain optimum gut health and
function while allowing maximum utilization of feed. During 2006 a clinical study was undertaken
to assess the benefits of feeding GNF in a National Hunt thoroughbred
training yard. The research paper
concluded that Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) has been found to be widely
prevalent in both racing, and non-racing horses. The trial investigated the
efficacy of the product in the treatment of EGUS and found that horses
supplemented with GNF for six weeks showed significant (P<0.05) reduction
in overall ulcer score. It was therefore be concluded that GNF had positive
results in reducing the severity of EGUS in affected horses.
