Just three days after his Stratford success, he’s defied a penalty to win again at Fontwell under Ben Jones.
​
Two wins in three days… looks like he’s finally made his mind up!

What a week for The Decision Makers!

​YOUDECIDE decided today was a good day to win again!

A cracking fences win at Stratford under Ben for The Decision Makers — and a huge thank you to Sir Mark Todd, who’s worked his magic with him at home.
​
Youdecide? He decided!

Mojito Des Mottes - our first win of the new season in the infamous gold & green!

A very cool ride at Newton Abbot from Harry Cobden, staying on strongly to win for JP McManus — and those ears pricked crossing the line!
​
Well done to all connections!

Betty’s Tiara enjoyed a front-running ride from Ben Jones at Worcester yesterday, battling bravely all the way to the line to clinch the win for Mrs Emma Palmer. 

Congratulations to all connections — back in the Winners’ Enclosure after a few crossbars! ​

Mrs Emma Palmer's Samuel Spade gave us all reason to cheer at Worcester on Thursday. With Beau Morgan in the saddle, Samuel Spade put in a great round of jumping and fought bravely to the line to win at his second start over fences. This win means he won on the flat, over hurdles and over fences - a true dual purpose warrior! 

Congratulations to all connections. 

Lheur De Gloire makes his first start over the larger obstacles a winning one! Given a brilliant, educational ride by Stable Jockey, Ben, Lheur De Gloire was given time to find his feet and grow in confidence throughout the race before challenging the leaders. 

A wonderful start to his chasing career! Congratulations to owners, The Blue Lightening Syndicate and to Sam Scott who rides him at home.

Congratulations to owners, The OAs and Beau Morgan who appears to have struck up a good relationship with Roysse. Showing plenty in the early stages of his career, a few unfortunate mistakes resulted in a score sheet below his ability. Beau has taken the reins at home and together he and Roysse put in a very smart run at Bangor to take the win. A wonderful result.

Crystal Days gives owners, mother / son duo Susan & Ed Lee and their family lots to smile about with her win at Warwick in the Mares' Maiden Hurdle. Ably piloted by Ben Jones, the daughter of Diamond Boy gives the yard our first win of the new season. 

Wondering Why and Ben Jones celebrated a second career win taking the Handicap Hurdle at Warwick. This win gave the team a card double on the day. Congratulations to the as ever enthusiastic Basher Watts Racing team of owners. 

​Rory who?!
It’s all about Ben Jones in our eyes!!
Absolutely thrilled for our Stable Jockey on achieving his best ever season and bringing up a phenomenal winners this season.
A huge milestone and a true reflection of his hard work, dedication, and talent in the saddle. Here’s to many more, Ben!

Racing Post | David Milnes : 30th March 2026

Your Darling teed up a possible trip to Punchestown when completing a double for Ben Pauling in the feature 3m handicap chase.


The 9-4 favourite provided the Naunton trainer with his 90th winner of the season and took Ben Jones's tally to 96.

​Always travelling best off a pace set by outsider Lounge Lizard, Your Darling took command four out and went on to defeat market rival Beachcomber by 14 lengths. 


Pauling said: "He likes going right-handed and we were a bit worried about the tighter track but he's done it well. There's a chase at Punchestown that might suit him."


Fergal O'Brien's bid to win the opening 2m novice hurdle for the second year running ended when his fancied runner Snatch A Glance fell when challenging at the third last.


That left the door open for the Pauling-trained 2-1 favourite Jimbo Sport to score by a nose under Callum Pritchard.
Pauling said: "We were delighted with that. He won nicely at Newcastle last time but he showed different qualities to get up and get his head in front. 


"We'll see what the handicapper does but we could look at something like the Swinton Hurdle. He likes this better ground so there's no reason why he can't progress further this spring."

The lightly raced Your Darling proving age is just a number and seems to be loving the game more than ever currently! Congratulations to the Vestey family on todays win, much anticipated and hugely deserved. Congratulations to Darling's work rider, Ollie who now has a full house of winners for his string this season. 

'He’s been talked up recently, more by the Irish than anyone else, but he’s got a profile similar to last year's winner Haiti Couleurs'

Ben Pauling is hoping Irish National favourite The Jukebox Kid can fly the flag for Britain on Easter Monday

Racing Post | Maddy Playle: 29th March 2026

Ben Pauling believes his BoyleSports Irish Grand National favourite The Jukebox Kid could not be in better form as the trainer prepares to attempt an audacious National double.

He added to his Cheltenham Festival tally when saddling Meetmebythesea to win the Jack Richards Novices' Handicap Chase this month and is targeting another big prize at Fairyhouse on April 6.

The Jukebox Kid, a comfortable winner of the Reynoldstown Novices' Chase, has come in for market support in recent weeks and is 8-1 favourite to make it back-to-back victories for British trainers in as many years following Haiti Couleurs 12 months ago.
​
Pauling believes the pair share several qualities, saying: "He couldn’t be better. He has a very progressive novice profile; he’s inexperienced for the race having only run six times in his life, but if he gets into a rhythm he’s the sort of horse that keeps finding plenty. I think he’ll stay very well.

"He’s been talked up recently, more by the Irish than anyone else, but he’s got a profile similar to Haiti Couleurs last year. I’m not surprised he’s fancied, whether he should be favourite, time will tell. 

"I’ve had my eye on the race since he beat Montregard at Ascot in January. I thought that was a good performance and I think he’s better right-handed than left at the moment. This looked like the obvious option over the National Hunt Chase."

Pauling is waiting to see if his Becher Chase winner Twig will secure a run in the Randox Grand National at Aintree. The 11-year-old, a 66-1 chance, needs three horses to be taken out of the race to get a run and after two wins from two starts over fences this season, Pauling is confident he can improve on last year's tenth behind Nick Rockett.


"Hopefully he'll get in," he said. "We still need three to come out. Some people think it’ll happen but I’m on the other side, I think when you get to this stage everybody that’s in the 34 is going to be desperately keen to run. 


"The Irish National may pull a few out because there’s more of a tussle for the championship over that side of the Irish Sea, and that might mean that a few of the Irish horses end up there rather than at Aintree.


"He’s in better form than he was last year and he had a lovely prep run the other day at Uttoxeter. He’s two from two this season in the Becher and Masters Chase. I’m very happy with him physically and he’s moving well. 
​

"It’s a very big ask, but I do think he can be more competitive than he was last year if he's ridden more positively. He's the sort of horse that would have had a cracking chance ten years ago."

As Legends Have It seems to relish that winning feeling! Back in the winners enclosure, this time at Uttoxeter, this gelding looks to have found his groove. Congratulations to all connections and well done Ben, another great ride.

The son of No Risk At All had us all on the edge of our seats heading to the line at Ludlow - what a finish! Congratulations to Transatlantic Thoroughbreds on such a tough win. This yard favourite really rallied under Callum to record a brilliantly brave hurdle win. How good!

It was only a few months ago Hine Law Racing were celebrating their first racing win. Today they recorded a double on the day! 

Last Round and Callum Pritchard were brilliant at Fontwell for the first win of the day where the Hines celebrated on course. A quick turnaround and it was Ben's turn with Matador St Georges on bumper debut at Wetherby. 

Matador St Georges' debut win being extra special as he was the first racehorse the Hines purchased, having previously only been involved in Show Jumpers. Huge congratulations to Tony, Alison and family - what a day!

This morning we received news that Eliza has achieved a Distinction in every single section of her National Horse Racing College Level 2 End Point Assessment.

This outstanding result is a true reflection of the dedication, consistency and care she brings to her role every day. The attention she gives to each horse she rides and looks after does not go unnoticed, and this achievement is thoroughly deserved.
​
We’re incredibly proud of you, Eliza — a fantastic accomplishment and a brilliant milestone in your career.

That's how you debut! The Perfect Poet shows plenty of promise with a debut bumper win under Callum Pritchard for the enthusiastic Basher Watts Racing team at Fontwell. Congratulations to all of you - enjoy those celebrations! Percy's (as he's known to friends) win racks up a double on the day for the BPR team with Dig Deep winning at Uttoxeter too. 

Dig Deep provided connections with plenty of reason to celebrate after his win in the Novice Hurdle at Uttoxeter. Second on debut at the start of the season, there's always been alot of faith in this gentle giant so it was patience rewarded for connections with today's result. Special mention to Paul, part of the syndicate who celebrates his first win as an owner! A day that is unlikely to be forgotten (and hopefully repeated plentiful!) 

Meetmebythesea makes a Cheltenham debut to remember!
A huge performance from this son of Watar on Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival, carrying the famous JP McManus silks to victory under a brilliant ride from Ben Jones.

A special mention to Gearoid, who rides Cyril every day at home. After a nasty fall earlier in the week he’s had to watch from home with a bit of new metalware — but this one was for you.
​
Molly is a very proud groom tonight. A massive team effort and we’re so proud to see those famous silks cross the Cheltenham line on one of ours.

Congratulations to The Fabula Partners and all connections of As Legends Have It who kicked off Festival week in the best way - with a win under Ben Jones! A smooth round of jumping saw the son of Jack Hobbs record his first chase win, this one coming at Stratford.

When you live in America it's important your horses get the memo and pull out the stops when you're in the UK. Following in Jig's Forge's hoofprints, new recruit for the same ownership group, Merry Away took note and ran a brilliant bumper at Warwick recording a debut win for connections. An exciting prospect who now possibly targets the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree - watch this space!

Take a bow Follocato & Kielan Woods! Winning four in a row is no small feat. Huge congratulations to connections of this wonderful chestnut. A horse that has relished the step up to fences and is proving alot of fun! Today's win came at Leicester, what a season!
