Taurus Bay (Poet's Word) has big shoes to fill on the retirement of previous team captain, Shakem Up'Arry! The youngster looks like he might well be up for the challenge after a very convincing debut win for Redknapp & Hill at Statford.

Congratulations to Ash who looks after this gorgeous boy and all connections!

A horse Ben has been excited to get going with this season, Kalkbrenner was brilliant on his hurdle debut at Ffos Las. 

Congratulations to Mrs Penny Barker and Jeremy Palin - it looks like you might have some fun with this chap!

This bonny gelding shone through the Ludlow weather this afternoon, enjoying a confident ride from our Conditional, Callum Pritchard, to bring home a well-deserved win!

A huge congratulations to The Salmon Spray Partnership, who we’re sure are raising a glass to Valda tonight.

Brilliantly cared for by a very proud Molly.

The Howden owned BAD returned this season meaning business. Given a brilliant ride by Ben Jones, Bad put in a spectacular round of jumping at Kempton for a victorious seasonal reappearance! 

Congratulations to all connections of this infamous grey!

Just Chasing May has proven variety is the spice of life with an impressive hurdle, chase, hurdle, chase unbeaten record this Summer! 

A horse named after Charles May, a family friend of the Hook's who sadly passed too soon, Just Chasing May means a lot to a lot of people and to see him provide such enjoyment is very special. His fourth win this summer came at Stratford under Ben Jones and showed his progression over the bigger obstacles. 

Congratulations to all connections of this big horse, and enjoy your holiday May!

Northern Bound — AKA Nobs, Nobby, the Nobster — what a legend!

This little horse has meant so much to so many over the years. Owned by the Kendall family, Nobby has been with us since he was a 4YO and has been part of the furniture ever since.

The kind of horse who’d saddle himself if he could — a total dream to train — he’s helped build the confidence of so many of our team along the way. We’ll miss having him around, but can’t wait to see what comes next for him.
​
Thank you, Nobs — they really don’t make many like you!

Emma Palmer with her mare, Betty's Tiara, Leia, Callum and Ben.

Betty's Tiara has been knocking on the door with six seconds recorded since her bumper win. Thursday's win at Uttoxeter therefore was very welcome for a patient Emma! 

Congratulations to all connections, including fellow BPR owner Mrs B Henley who bred Betty's Tiara and subsequently receives her GBB bonus!

Rocks Up Late is right on time as our first runner back after the August break. Rocks Up Late was given a briliant front-running ride by Ben Jones at Worcester Racecourse on Wednesday afternoon. The results makes it his fourth win this summer.

Huge congratulations to his owners North Wessex Racing!

Palm Beach rallied late under Conditional Elliot England to soar home at Worcester. The son of Galileo's win gives Elliot his second under rules. An inspired ride, congratulations to all connections!

Wheresmemoneygone makes the long trip to Perth oh so worth it with an incredible 24 length win under Ben Jones. 

Congratulations to all connections.

Just Chasing May puts in a wonderful season debut to take the win at Worcester. Congratulations to the Hook family and connections. 

Rocks Up Late records third win this Summer under Ben Jones since joining the BPR stable. Congratulations to owners, North Wessex Racing. What a jumper!

What a few days! We’re heading home with a group of exciting new horses and full of optimism for the future.

A huge thank you to all our incredible owners for their support—your backing means the world and makes this all possible. We can’t wait to see what this new group of horses will achieve in the seasons ahead.

Special thanks also to Tess Greatrex of Highflyer Bloodstock for her tireless work and expert eye throughout the sale.
​
Ben, Tom, and Miranda have been out in Ireland with some of our owners doing the viewings—it’s been a team effort all the way and we’re excited for what lies ahead!

Northern Bound brought the house down this week as he recorded a remarkable tenth career victory – a huge milestone for a horse who means so much to everyone at Ben Pauling Racing.

Owned by Mrs Emma Kendall, Northern Bound has been a yard favourite for years, and this latest success is a truly special moment for all involved. His consistency, heart, and love for the game have made him one of the most adored horses in the team – and it’s no surprise that his win was met with big celebrations.

“This horse just keeps giving,” said Ben. “He’s a total legend, and to reach ten wins is an incredible achievement. We’re all absolutely thrilled for Emma, who has been such a fantastic supporter, and for everyone at the yard who loves this horse to bits.”

​A true stable star and the definition of a team horse – well done, Nobby!

Rocks Up Late (Vadamos) put in a great debut at Worcester to record our first winner of the new season under Ben Jones.

Crystal Days recieves a warm welcome back into the winners enclosure from the Lee's after defying her large odds to win the bumper at Warwick!

Huge congratulations to all connections of this filly. Delighted she is heading out on her holidays a winner! 

Saturday’s Grand National will mark another first for Beau Morgan and his beloved Twig. The duo have made the cut for the world’s greatest steeplechase and embark on their first spin over the those infamous birch fences. A race where legends are made and names are etched into history. Just how did these two wind up here?
 
Every horse in the National will have their story. Twig and Beau are no different. Bred by Laurie Strangman and his wife Alicia, Twig’s first couple of starts under rules were lacklustre to say the least! As a young horse Twig was particularly susceptible to bugs and being a weak, backward type the Strangman’s made the decision to move him on. At the time Luca Morgan was our Conditional Jockey and looking for a horse to get his younger brother Beau started on. The Strangman’s kindly agreed that the Morgan’s would be a good fit for Twig and provide Beau with a nice horse to go pointing on for a small fee.
 
Matt and Felicity Hampton of Braysdown Stables trained Twig for the Morgan family with Matt riding Twig in his first run in December 2020 to finish third. Beau then stepped into the saddle and you could say never looked back! Beau’s first ride on Twig was a winning one, and was quickly followed by more. After a dabble in Hunter Chasing the decision was made to run Twig back under rules and back to us he came. Together Twig & Beau have finished second at the Cheltenham Festival and scored their big win in the Summer Cup. Not many partnerships can have claimed to have ticked off so many achievements off a bucket list.
 
When asking Beau about Saturday’s upcoming race one word was uttered “mad!”. “What Twig has already done for me is unreal, he was my first ride, first winner, first ride at the Cheltenham Festival and now to have a confirmation in the Grand National – that’s mad. It’s every aspiring jockey’s dream to ride over those fences and to get the opportunity with a horse that has already given us all so much means everything. The support from Luca, Mum and Dad is huge – they have given me opportunities I am so grateful for.”
 
We wish all runners the best of luck for Saturday’s race – but just maybe a little bit extra for Twig & Beau!!

Rock Sensation was given a lovely ride by Callum Pritchard and proved a true professional with her well timed run round the outside to pick up the win at Southwell in the Mares' Bumper. Congratualtions to her group of owners and to her groom Matty.

Jimbo Sport provided the English half of his ownership reason to celebrate on course at Hereford with his emphatic debut bumper win. The American half of Transatlantic Thoroughbreds had to wait those extra few minutes due to the delay to start their cheers! 

Congratulations to you all - Jimbo looks a fun one for the future. 

Wolf Moon showcases plenty of pace round two miles at Huntingdon. All 17.3hh of Wolf's stature proved particularly useful in the photo finish! Congratualtions to the Hooks and all connections of this smart son of Pether's Moon. He's certainly proving a passion for his job.

Groovy Blue justified his short odds with a lovely run at Market Rasen under Ben Jones. Congratualtions to his owners Dan and Hilary on his second career win.

It's always fun when a horse gains a following, even more so when said horse is giving his supporters something to cheer for.

Following up his last start win, Bad and Ben Jones provided a masterclass in patience with their spin around Kempton in the feature Handicap Chase. Patience has been the name of Bad's campaign, whilst Ben P. has never lost faith in this grey,Bad has had, until recently a good tendancy of finding a way to be beaten! 

We are delighted for owner David Howden that Bad is realising his potential and enjoying battling to the line to get his head infront!
